I've been wondering this for a while now, it really bugs me.
Does anyone here know how come in almost every post-potential release video of KMS, people have insane % items?
I mean, I can count on one hand all vids of GMS players with at least half of % stats I usually see in KMS vids.
And the general public, even those from the middle-rich class are struggling to exceed 30% stat bonus.
So I assume that KMS' potential system maybe is a little more convenient or maybe easier to get nice stats with rather than GMS' pot system?

Pretty sure you can blame the gMS economy more than anything.

It very well may be they changed it. But there's also a chance that there are other factors in this.
1) KMS has a NX trade room where people can sell CS items for mesos (or something around this? Correct me if wrong). We have the MTS, but there's the absurd tax in there that makes selling nearly any small item pointless, making NX harder to come by for a regular player without buying.
2) KMS sells cubes in sets of 6 for 6k. While it may not seem like much, in mass cubing it makes a noticeable difference (100 cubes vs. 120 cubes).

You can place CS items on your store permit so there is no NX tax involved, much easier to get around.
KMS has had the potential system for much longer though, it's normal they would have better items than us.

Still, stuff aint dropping with already dandy potentials, cubing is a must if you are to get the good stuff. It is not a matter of time, just money.

Excuse me for the quote but, "Time is money".
You don't expect people to shell out all that KMS has invested in cubes already in much less time, people need time to harvest money and invest it.
Not that I'm sure it's the same chances for finding/cubing epic/unique items here than KMS's.

Exactly.
GMS barely got it. And obviously, when new stuff is released, they cost a crap load. Prices will soon deflate, thus most of you can get cheaper % items

Dropped potential items are already getting cheaper. You can easily find 3% stat overall/glove/shoes in the FM for 5m or so these days, and less for 2 lines. I saw an epic 3 line Bazura the other day for 50m, which is like getting up to Epic in 3-4 cubes, and it wasn't selling. I found a 3% dex 3% dex level 100 Pirate boots two days ago and it's probably not worth 100m anymore.

Additionally, you're seeing the best of the best KMS has to offer. The mass KMS population also has seems to have <30% boosts.

We have this system ever since July 21st. Hell, as I see it now, they're actually inflating. I don't think that is just a matter of time, it's probably as I was explained to, the tradeable Nx items.

Well, he did mention "tradeable NX items".

Commenting on the CS system, there's a good chance they might have tweaked it post- BB. It was released before it, just by a patch or two. And commenting on the CS trade system, only items like that are being able to be sold. Previously equipped CS items and pets among various other CS items are untradable. But you still can't sell NX for meso vice-versa in that trade system. In ways like that, the MTS does have advantages, even with the taxes.

Just lucky. I haven't found a single Epic equip on KMS. Usually out of a whole inventory of drops, only about 10% of them have potential, which is about the same as GMS.

Well i think. its just because of the time KMS have the potential System. And the funded ppl in GMS already have very good gear. (80-150%+ stats)

Tikey, from a player that plays both KMS and GMS, would you say it's easier to obtain better stats on KMS or maybe cheaper?
