Since I am an avid Hardcore player, I am going to say... "No" in a polite manner to what I really wanted to post.
I will give you a scenario in terms of Prof gains... it is NOT just about skilling, it is ALL profs should be included in YOUR REVAMP of this suggestion.
So... when I played SC and had ranks 22 & under, I could have had ALL those prof ranks for a single character revamped even though I had 0 kills, 0 experience and so on? Should all of my gains from SC be collected again on my SC characters I never played?
Now, as for Hardcore, I am proud of my character(s) gaining ranks in profs whether they are skill or NOT, but to COLLECTIVELY add them up just because I am using a Mule that gains the play time I used with a different character be ADDED? What the fuck are you on... some pills... you definitely are not smoking some great shit, you are pumped up on what, crack, speed, meth, crystal, smack on that etc?
Hey, you play a character, that is it, they get experience and prof for the time you put into that character, not your WHOLE collection of mules.
By the fucking way... this ONLY BENEFITS MUTE... they already have a monopoly on getting the best gear... just look at like the last 3 or 4 Events and link all that with the thread about "what mutes have been made" and the outcome of items they made in comparison to people actually trying to find items in a Catacomb run ... Mute skill + ML= more benefits without loss of anything... fuck you don't even have to get into a catacomb at all... you all just rely on buying mute items from those that don't have the ability to Mute that level of items.
Fuck this idea again, I said it last time, and now it is even worse off because only Muters benefit, they think losing items from this and that and the cost is outrageous... how fucking often do those that do cataruns find them? You even calculate that shit into it.
Transmute is overpowered and needs to be nerfed... you know what... the best way to nerf it... remove Magic Luck when muting.
