Talk to Nexon about Elemental Wands/Staves

Would it be any more right for an unsuspecting Bishop to buy an elemental wand for hundreds of millions of mesos and lose damage because of it? There is no description on the wand that states, "If you are a bishop, this weapon sucks for you!" or anything of the like.

That's why I keep pointing out the description from the items is missing and needs to be added, because then it very clearly states this. With their generic names and color scheme even some FPs and ILs are unclear on which is which. If they had thier full descriptive text that would make it absolutely clear for all sides.

Rarely will you find events in economics where someone's entire savings disappears like that, nor will you find policy makers stupid enough to consider doing this at considerable risk to consumer consumption.

Did you not live through the Dot Com Bubble? Or the recent stock market surge? Are you not alive right now during the current U.S. economy issues? These things happen all the time. Investments go bad. People buy Betamax. People bought laser discs. People bought HD-DVD players. Things come along and become obsolete for one reason or another, all the time.

Couldn't they just change new ones, and leave those in game already as is?

Nope.

or make a new item with a new ID that has the reduct, and add a descriptor?

They'd have to remove the eleDefault from the old version, create a new version that was an exact copy of what these were originally made as, and then what was the point exactly? If they removed the incRMA's from the old ones along with the eleDefault and made them just pure mattack boosts you've just shafted every AM to avoid shafting every Bishop.
