It's because the very best top notch items ingame are like maybe 5% more damage....aka 1 ember. Are we banning 400pp items that have a 5% ember on them? 400pp humming items are just as good, or better, than "quest" items but are we banning them? Nope.
400pp humming axe = 28AD. Skullsplitter axe = 28AD with 2.5% bonus flurry damage. That's literally the only difference, 2.5% extra damage when you happen to land a flurry. But we ban that weapon because it's extremely op? Quick we better ban those 5hp rings too.
I didn't stop events because I only care to do them if I can dominate, that would be no fun. I just like playing my zerker, but I can't because it has a weapon that's about the same as a 400pp humming item...which you could buy with pp from events. It makes no sense.
Makes sense. tbh 400pp items are not that much worse than crim. yes there is the burn chance but a humming 400pp item > class event or crim item damage wise in most cases.
Also want to point out I ran quite a few events before these class event items got banned and folder didn't win any of them maybe got a streak once lol. He entered quite a few of them as well so I agree here i dont see the point in banning them they don't make too much of a difference (or maybe his crits suck). I DO AGREE they should be banned from jr since most of these items are level 22+ its like giving a level 22 an item 4-5 steps higher. at level 25 is .5 steps higher than reg 400pp and .5 lower than humming perfect.
Also like folder said 70% of our events are 1v1 not being able to use the items that you progressed and worked your ass off to get is kind of a deterrent to eventing.
