Second Golden Age. The three words that is on every calypsian lips these days. Three words that have created a vortex of emotions, hope, agony, frustration, inspiration and so on.
Well into the SGA period we've experienced some very nice drops in the community. Improved FAP, improved 2870, Mod Merc, Suprmacy, Angel, Sentinel, a204 amp, DOA Foeripper and Loudmouth.. Items that for the last 4 years have been a faint dream for hunters, items that was soon established to have ceased to drop entirely. Until now, with modified stats and a SGA brand.
In spite of these amazing drops, people still get frustrated for not getting a piece of the cake. From what I can tell, a large portion of the community had a perception of SGA as if it would rain goodies on everyone. Personally, I never thought that was what it'd be about.
Its the possibility to loot, its the hope of looting, its the dream that seems a little more real. I know this sounds awfully cheesy but thats what it is to me.
Either way, you can hunt as normal, or you can chase the dream -none of these means you'll get a secured drop. I was around when the last MM was looted, and when DOA's and ML's still dropped. Back when you went hunting atrax because they looted ML or you went for Warrior for that missing angel harness from your set. That feeling have vanished completely since drops stopped, and people have instead been hunting mobs that is easy on the economy for them, with high MU drops of limited items, and that suits their armor and weapons.
Now people are ripped out of their old hunting routine to chase those dreams again. At expense of their eco, maybe - and that includes a bucket of frustration.
