Already sick of the loot system. need unique weapons/armour

[GRUM - MAGA]

The current loot system is worse than starfield and borderlands combined. I dont want to see the same armour and wepaons just with different stats. Why can't we have unique weapons and armour?

I am worried the transmog system is just an easy way for them to only allow us to differentiate with cosmetics, and the loot system will stay the same for balance purposes.

My understanding is that most unique armor designs are tucked into the Armorer skill. Factions are meant to wear different gear. Right now, the vast majority of gear is shared between every faction.

That would be interesting if Armorer made exclusive armour that wasn't dropped by monsters. But, based on the weapon skill in episode 3, this won't be the case.

I am assuming purple armour will be desirable for stats, and epic armour will be good for enchanting. Maybe to get certain enchantments you need to defeat bosses for essence.

100% not the case. Armourer skill will just allow you to make what you can already obtain as loot. Meaning we probably have seen all the armour there is in the game currently... THis is a matter of utmost priority if theres a reason to grind loot and level the armourer skill.....

Purple and orange are just different grades of stats, orange is always better than purple.

Armor appearance does get more embellished once you start going up armor tiers, but none of them have radically different shapes, just better ornamentation.

I doubt there will be too many uniques or else it will devalue the smithing skills etc. Combat definitely needs something to make it feel more rewarding / unique that doesn't upset the other professions
