[quote]"I have this feeling that they're going to wait until 99% of people have dismantled all their year 1 gear for weapon parts & armor materials, then release a consumable to upgrade them" "Maybe they decreased the number of weapon parts given when dismantling to almost force people into purging their remaining year 1 gear if they wanted to upgrade the new stuff"[/quote] Dude... that's dirty as shite, but that seems genuinely plausible. As much as that prospect pisses me off, I have to admit, it'd be a damn effective strategy. >.>
