The Cure for the Summertime Blues!

That's what I'm saying. I already took the risk. why should i have to do it again? My choice are either "try potential scrolls on everything i own, practically assuring something is destroyed in the process, something which will be extremely expensive to replace" or "Don't use potential on anything that i spent hundreds of millions creating and be drastically inferior to everyone else".

All I think is that the existing equipments should at least be made unidentified or the fact that they're already scrolled should be taken into account in some way to balance them with new equips instead of making it so that prescrolled armor is radically inferior and to bring it back up to par will come with a risk of losing it altogether. In fact, what you've just said is exactly why: 4 30% passed is barely average, and that's hard to get, and now we've got to introduce another 10% chance of destruction on it? No. Not good.

You act as though the second this hits MS your gear will immediately be worth absolutely nothing. That's not the case. You just need to focus on upgrading other things to replace what you have.
