Time to remove the specific weapon quests?

The complete elimination of weapon-specific quests was the original point of this thread.
And it's a position I fully agree with as I think there is plenty of supporting justification for why they are harmful.
So, if eliminating them is really the goal, why are there so many people making suggestions in that direction, but only incrementally...
Do you not believe that Rovio would actually make the necessary changes to get us all the way to the goal?
Or can someone explain/justify why it would be superior to NOT completely eliminate weapon-specific quests?

 

Fair comment. My guild is full of 500-2500 infamy players. We're only now starting to finish board 4. I can't imagine how people get 1.5m dmg done as well!

However ... you know that my original comment covered your reply. I see this as temporary - that in a year / 2 / 3 I'll be in a guild and in a league and with items that does allow for 1.5m dmg to be done. I'm personally happy to wait even if some act like xxxxs to their guild members and aren't.

 

Well as it is now everyone has to deal with it. My point is mainly that there aren't much reason for sticking to a system that forces people to play with suppar items.

I can guess that perhaps dev intent behind the weapon quests was to stimulate players to buy (and level) more items. I'm sure its working to some degree, but I hope they remember to focus on quality of actual gameplay also. Playing with low level untalented versions of the worst weapons in the game is not my idea of a good time.

 

Spoil sport. Everyone loves the napalm one.

 

I did ~500k of the trip torp quest on our latest board4 with my t4 rares. Presume that doesnt fill your unerleveled rares criteria?
