I was completely unaware of it as well, despite having been in both La Familia and Origins. Ultimately, what Rent chose to do isn't my concern, but clearly the Guardian Charm was not designed with the intention of it working into later tiers. It's use in later tiers isn't an exploit, but it also isn't intended.
Can we all just cut the bullshit? EVERYONE knew! it was in OOC when ever some new player was asking for advice! Turn a blind eye if you must, but check the logs! how the hell can anyone zonepull T10 without anything else then a warrior... Nobody can say "i didnt know"
Just the sheer number of new people getting fed GSS and what not. if you just took a look at what was mass farmed then you all knew! you can lie about most things, but when the price on things drops like HELL then its a sure sign that something is wrong.
Im all for that things needs to be changed, as we talked about Draca. But things needs to be changed alot more then this. If you can get to endgame within a month and then just say "oh i powergamed" then there is something wrong with the core.
But all of this is just an old guys opinion, and im trying not to point fingers, but dont think anyone didnt know.
And another thing, the items are OP yes... But the game is more or less made for it. if you dont run a million bots at endgame, or have them maxed out with everything, then its hard as hell. Plus the number of items/essence/plat and what ever you need to farm is a SHITTON! doing that without the ability to mass pull without breaks will make it a deadly grind for anyone who works or have a life
