Epic Items
It has constantly been said: "Make Epic Items Faction Specific", now the problem with that was people were complaining that they couldn't use MOVEON and PP Resistor at the same time, Tangent Speed Gat unless they were CM etc.
I can sort of identify where their coming from. But I also understand why people don't want everyone to be able to get epic items, because of faction hoppers.
Here's what I propose, make epic items available to all, but require sympathy with that faction to equip it.
For example, a Twilight Guardian could use a Tangent Speed Gat as long as he isn't endlessly PKing CM or their allies.
Now this helps because Faction Hoppers who go back to an enemy faction have to keep their sympathy up, but it has some bad sides. Take for example a Diamond Real Estate is using a BioTech MOVEON. Now BioTech is not their enemy so they have no problem there, but Black Dragon and Diamond are enemies, and BD and BT are allied, so for killing a BD they'd lose BT sympathy. But that would cause a little less pointless PKing, a little lass faction hoping etc. Please comment on this and read my next post about Faction Specific Boosts.
