1- If there were a glut of items for sale in the world, sure, maybe. As it is now, there's a wide open market to make and sell things. So much so, most things are done special order vs being a stocked vendor. There's no benefit right now to breaking everyone's things, replacements just aren't commonplace. Maybe once there server cap on things has increased and it's more available, but right now, where's the fun in this?
2- I mean, it's a long debate on another thread that's up to the server admin to sort and decide on. Not going to rehash others points on that
3- I go back to 'where's the fun'. Grinding... while some love it, others hate it... there isn't a ton of credits in filling your socks with loot and beating a vendor to death with it... they are limited to how much they'll buy... and anything that would auction really isn't any different than crafted goods, it's worth what someone will pay for it and not more.. and additionally there is a fee to listing items which helps the economy by removing credits from circulation.
4- Wouldn't know, but remember that adding anything in pvp affects pve too.. and I witnessed characters taking on CL160 mobs that were hitting me for over 20k and dropping me, while they stood face to knee with them and take those hits like they were being swung on by a toddler having a tantrum.
There's no point chasing shadows at this point, not even a month into the server and problems are still mostly personal play preference at this point, and I'm sure Rez is watching for hot spots, hence why he's caught several exploits pretty quickly. If things start becoming stagnant, I suspect changes will be quickly coming.
there aren't many items for sale because each guild basically supplies themselves. not many people are buying from others. On a small server having decay will get people to continue to get resources and craft items and have a constant flow of the need for PVE and crafting.
and the increasing drop rates. the servers been up for maybe a month, and we are already fully geared with multiple 5p sets along with countless ig dented heads, ace packs and many more items. once you get it in the few runs you need to do, what is left to do? things should be harder to get.
and I do see a point in changing things now. if people play here get everything, they need fairly fast, they will leave and play on another server. most likely people wont come back knowing how easy everything is to get.
also, adding health isn't going to change anything, you don't need armor or anything to run any content here due to having 135 skill points. the challenging content hasn't come yet so he can base it on the new health levels.
