Correcting me was not necessary, nor was the boss info the main point of my post. I can understand, though, if it were.

The point is is that this system is harmful for anyone who has put extreme amounts of work into their equipment and/or passes them onto the their other characters or sells equipment frequently. There are also "boss" AO, that give better stats for whatever. That means people who want to be stronger would also need to change to specific equipment(or not). This system just makes everything harder and more complicated. This stress is only cushioned by supposed "free damage"
If you refuse to accept that this system does not work in many people's favor and many people will have to switch out their entire set in favor of this system. You're being extremely narrow minded. This system is helpful but the scissor system is a very harmful system to many players who trade equipment and regardless of whether it is "forced on us or not", we have to deal with it if we want to get better. It isnt a fair system by any means. All it does is hide greedy intent behind extra damage.
I don't see how adding additional options would be, at all, harmful. Last I checked... the vast majority of Maple is not funded. The gap between the rich the poor is currently a gaping chasm, to which many would want to fill- even if it were by an inch or two. In addition, you must consider that many player's gear consist of nontradable gear from the get-go (be it Empress, Tyrant, Root Abyss, Sengoku... the list goes on). While I do not deny that players with tradable gear might not be interested in switching over to the new system of additional options, it wouldn't be crippling if they chose not to. From what I've gathered... the boosts listed from KMSers' experiences... the most these boosts would provide is something in the ballpark of 3% mainstat/ 1-7 attack. You wouldn't lose much if you stuck with your gear un-ao'd; it'd be as if nothing happened (or, what we have currently, anyways). And by the way, we do not live in a perfect world. There will be those who choose not to partake, this system is not by any mean 'perfect'. What I'm trying to convey is that additional options would help to combat the buffed bosses. If anything, if players who didn't want to utilize the system, why not party up with someone who did?

I also don't see how you can "enjoy" restricting your gears.
Not at all. Even if my friends had some pieces of gear that they didn't want to restrict, I know surely that have some untradables. And even if they didn't, like I said above, there is always the possibility of finding someone who did, if it really bothers you. I myself am equipped with full empress, along with other untradable gear. I can understand now, how I could have been narrow-minded, and you opened my eyes to that. However, if you state one side of the argument (such as not wanting to otp-in into the system), and feeling that it's unfair, you must also consider the people who have nontradable gear. How would it be any more fair them without the system, than it would be to those with tradable gear with the system? Would that not, on the same token, be considered 'unfair' or 'selfish'?

The only way to get decent stuff is by paying (money) yourself. Because you won't find anything used. And if you do, bad news! You can't sell your old stuff to pay up. Because it is untradeable. That's a step backwards.
Again. This would not be forced on anyone. No money required.
