I've done some work and also made the illustrations to make it easy to read and follow for you.

Ladder Slasher has improved a lot since the first public release, I think Paul is still looking forward to updating this
game and this update could be something looked forward to in next version of Ladder Slasher.

I'm predicting some raising questions, so i try to answer them ahead:

Q: Why should Gems and items supplied for them be untradeable?
A: If there's a chance to constantly gain FG in the game it would tempt some people to develop bots for Ladder Slasher and that's the last thing we need. If they were tradeable they would
also rapidly decrease value of all items in game. If they are for personal use only they won't harm the economy much, if only then it could get a bit harder to sell items below 50% ee in future.

Q: It would make wellers worthless, why would anyone well any white item if they can get it enchaced?
A: Not really, getting gems also takes time and maximum of 50% ee is not that much. After all, welled items can be traded and enchaced items can be used by yourself only.

Q: Why don't people just buy FG or sell some items they have in other games to supply equipment in Ladder Slasher?
A: Most of the people want to try the game first before they decide to invest real money or fg into it. Let's be honest, right now Ladder Slasher
gets almost unplayable at high levels if you don't buy some gear. Getting kicked out of all the catacomb parties or killing 1 monster and regenerating for 4 minutes is not
what a player would like in a game. This update would give them chance to gain some equipment theirselves and make them "accepted" in catacomb parties. Also Ladder Slasher
is a free to play game, it means the game should be at least somewhat playable without investments, right?



That's it.
Hope you liked it and even if you didn't it's ok too.
Please take part in the poll aswell, only then we get to know what most of the people think.

Thank you

Nice presentation on the image. I think it's pretty well thought-out and logical and don't really see a down side at all. Whether or not it matches up with whatever Paul has envisaged for this game though, who knows.

I just think there needs to be some things to be worked out such as heavy weapons.... 50 ee on a tier 3 and such can do some killer dmg :S but other then that nice work nice image and such

then everyone would be able to farm magical+ items by rerolling and get infinate amount of gems.. virtually out ruling fg. null vote, good idea, needs some re-thinking imo

Think he mentionned somewhere those items wouldn't be sellable.
And not like 50%ee items are worth anything really.

I like it. Would make people who don't want to spend fg or have no fg a chance to actually contribute to catas.
And also it wouldn't hurt the economy much. Maybe make it a max EE for each tier though. Otherwise I can see heavy weapons becoming the main focus for this (even though I would still prefer to well them)

nice concept. I would think that something like this would help encourage new players to stick around LS longer.

You have to look at the flip side aswell. All items under 50ee are gonna become pretty damn hard to sell because everyone can just make their own. And that small income is all some people have, someone who might not need a 50ee item, but their only means of income is those low/medium items. IMO you're just giving those people the shaft to get better help in catas.

Pretty sweet idea dont get me wrong, but has some flaws.

they could farm magic + and get gems, and just use the mediocre 50ee enhanced weapons, and buy just an mq weapon for 55-71
