Aside from that, I can agree to most of your post...
Cheers
Yes and no... thanks to "no one" knowing how MA's loot system works, I can't comment precisely how it IS working, but how I see it working...
I'm a newb to this game, I won't deny it. Been playing for a little over a month, recently graduated discipleship and can hunt most *regular* mobs out there (2A plated shogun is best armor). I crossed paths with a few spiders, and have vowed to take them down in the future .
But what irks me so damn much is that I HAVE put in almost $500 USD (most has gone to crafting though), I've hunted like hell, killed thousands of various things at all times of the day, and as I'm hunting allophyls for the competition in Allophyl Island, I read about that damn ATH right as I loot a guardian I helped take down. I immediately warped to the memorial TP, then to Orthos and up to the spider trap. I was honestly expecting to see someone in like, super-plated Chronicle armor wielding a nuke cannon or something . I definitely WASN'T expecting to see a gremlin-wearing ava wielding a laser pistol and wearing a sombrero!
I honestly don't care THAT the guy got the cash, it's about as cool as Leeloo getting the mining ATH 1st place. What irks me more than ANYTHING is that he used what MA has clarified as an ILLEGAL exploit, and MA should have INSTANTLY had an avatar logged in and warped there to verify the integrity of the ATH, and how valid it was - and it instantly taken appropriate action.
This was over $8k USD, it's a fair chunk to pay out instantly, and I'd sure as hell be all over it like ugly on an ape, to make sure that the person truly did earn it!
I've seen ATH's on allophyls, berycleds, exas, a whole bunch of 'newb' creatures - and I think that's cool, and extremely exciting (and in all honesty this guy could have gotten it on ANY of those things, imo). What I don't think is cool is someone getting one of those on something that they really shouldn't be ABLE to hunt in the first place...
