Glad to know some are thinking along the same tangent. I exhausted my efforts trying to revive this topic and spent far too long trying to convince users and community likewise (you can view my posts regarding this issue and if you're interested, PM me and I'll provide my rebuttal regarding things stated on this thread).
However, I am still a firm believer that there are too many problems with the nonvar and var gap. To put it simply, it is a lot harder for a nonvar to fully enhance than a var who has the option of paying. Only a few (noticed I used "few" and not "many") I know actually use only credits to enhance which makes it extremely frustrating when one spends a fortune on trying to fully enhance weaponry when in future releases, better weapons come out and the effect of enhancing prior is rendered far weaker than alternatively, buying it without enhancements for a cheaper cost. I'm not surprised I still have my staff, aux and gun from last year ever since they were released. I haven't had any credits to change weaponry or enhance since most of my enhancement slots cost a ridiculous 20k+ each.
Now, this may also apply to vars but this is only because nonvars have been literally excluded from this competition. How many lvl 34 nonvars do you see 1v1ing or 2v2ing? Most of my battles are with lvl 34 fully enhanced users to which I usually lose to. I'm only 6 measly stats away from fully enhancing all my weaponry but still, I lose a majority of times because these var users have either an oped class, 23+ more stat points than me or robots negating my buffs granting them and inherent unfair competitive edge as well as the ability to supersede and overcome the curve for competition, rather than succumb to it become the OPED class which has manifested absolute varium anarchy granting them great authority and utmost flexibility in the game's platform.
The reason why varium is constantly being purchased over and over again can be explained through the theory of ecological competition conditioning. Since nonvars are slowly distanced from competing as a number fear that they will lose to var users inevitable, they decide to purchase varium. With the amount of var users increasing because of this, most battles are between var and var users and not nonvars. Battles become more varium biased fostering the need to get more varium to compete among varium users. This has indeed cultivated a elitism in terms of varium usage in the game, disowning one's experience and faithfulness (dedication to the game) as those who remain nonvar only find it harder and harder to compete in the game's platform and furthering the need to obtain varium in hopes to win.
I stated this numerous times and I feel it's just being ignored. Varium has granted too many things for a user ranging from changing to oped classes with ease, obtaining and enhancing the best and sometimes new-released weaponry in the game. These need to be toned down a little to ensure that it's fair for both users while still giving those who purchase varium an incentive to compete and not a clear-cut and easy way out (especially when us nonvars are being used as free-wins and rags to var users) - and speaking of which coincidentally, I was called a noob because I lacked a "repertoire for good builds". I've been playing this game since beta and have been faithful to my TM ever since - but I fear that this instance of lashing will only evolve and foster more hatred towards var and nonvar users. Recently, when I was in a 2v2 battle, my partner using Allied chat complained on how unfair the battle was - two nonvars vs. two fully enhanced vars and also stated that he was called a noob for no reason which had only continued to fuel his rage for what he called egotistically var users. This segregation as padded through the ecological distancing created by enhancements has not only reinforced differences among this users but emotional ethnocentrism.
Now not all users are like that, but what I'm trying to say is:
Varium or no-varium should never bred hatred but rather should promote individualism, creativity, healthy rivalry among each other.
That's my rant. You can choose to ignore it, heed it or disown it. I have plenty of arguments regarding this and a strong fiery conviction for this cause but I have grown tired and wary of repeating myself over and over again - hammering my points and analogically importing my arguments in the most sensible and easy-to-understand logical rebuttals- trying to shed new light to this rather convoluted shadowy reluctant issue of ED's situation.
If you're interested, please read my thread I started a long time ago entitled: Flowers among the thorns (Nonvariums Underpowered). Are you a flower?
And also another post I think is relevant to this discussion: The Broken Credit Earning System
Since I can't relocate some threads I inputted my opinion prior (I believed they got deleted: Gap 1.0 and Gap 2.0), I'll try my best to recollect my thoughts once more just in case you're (or whoever's reading this), is interested in.
Thanks for those who share my passion.
