I have no preference for the Lanka. What I do have is a preference for common sense. When update 9 came out, it became very clear that the DEs were attempting to make sure that all weapons were scaled appropriately to Mastery level and to give the game difficulty more depth by increasing the enemy levels on every planet and, most recently, by adding phobos in the mid range which was thin.

In addition to this, they adjusted several base damage amounts and damage types to make sure that the Mastery level and the level of effort put toward constructing a weapon was appropriately rewarded with damage output - in short, the longer you play, the more access you have to better weapons which makes higher level missions easier or attainable. This is how RPGs should work. And God said it was good.

It is clear from these moves that they are responding to complaints that the game could basically be rushed through with any weapon at level 30 with not a care in the world. Now, if you come in with a poorly scaled weapon in a high level mission, you will die or at the very least do utterly crap damage and be dragged along by your team.

With all this taken into account, if you have any sense of logic at all, then you would wuickly realize that they will never give a mastery 4 weapon that drops off a boss run the same level of damage output as a mastery 7 weapon that comes from a dojo research. They just won't. I don't care if it is the Lanka, the Acrid, the Ogris --- choose whatever weapon you want. The Miter WILL NOT be given the ability to do the same damage output as these weapons because the reward should be commensurate with the effort required to attain it.

The reason I brought up the Lanka has nothing to do with my preference for it but beause it has a base damage of 250 which requires a charge and does a armor ignoring damage type - essentially what you are all trying to will into existence for the Miter. Why in the hell would they make these two weapons equivelent?

And here ends your lesson in RPG game economy 101. Have a nice day.
