Reworked Trait System

While I do see your point, I can't say that I completely agree with it.

I find myself completely turned off to buying cubes for anything that isn't hard to come by (level 110+) or at least Epic already. While some people, like you, would be willing to fuse a crap-ton of Empress equipment to get good potential, there are plenty out there like me who don't even feel that getting a single Empress equip is within reach. I feel that having a guaranteed chance of being able to craft an item with potential would just increase the chances of finding one with a reasonable rank of potential, and thus it would be much more appealing to spend money on trying to make it even better.

Besides getting Epic and Unique Empress items from fusing isn't exactly within the budget range of those who don't purchase NX to begin with anyway, and most people who are trying to go for endgame equipment would want Empress equips, or at least level 110, and those need recipes that can't be obtained very quickly.

Time really shouldn't matter when discussing this concept. My whole point is this system would never work because it would significantly decrease Nexon's revenue stream and would make non-potentialed items more obsolete than they currently are. Although I may have more funding than some, I do not buy nx often, but through merching, selling event items, and getting lucky with scrolls (through the current diligence system) I find it is not that difficult to gather some funds. Obviously this system would give everyone a higher chance of receiving a good potential rank on items because at max diligence level, every single item would come with potential.

It would be nice to have this system, but it is too unrealistic.
