Trying to make a point here.

It seems as though he is trying to make proponents of a workbench feature look like idiots. There is another thread here in which one person is complaining that they haven't found a good gun yet in PT1 so that's why they support a workbench. As has always been my position, I am against it as well. Farming adds longevity to the game. Finding those perfect guns is the heart and soul of playing, imo. More bang for your buck without the workbench, I say.GT: ConceitedJarrad XBOX360 18:15, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
@GT: and that is a perfectly valid and reasoned argument - with which I happen to disagree, at least in part; I love farming and finding guns too, but I would like an in-game method of modifying them as well (I've gone into more detail in my original thread as to why I'd like that feature). Actually it wasn't just in playthrough 1, though - it was playthrough 1 of BL & DLC3, and playthrough 2 of BL, and I was comparing it to the quality of loot I'd found in my many other playthroughs, and wondering if there had been a change to the game mechanics that I was unaware of. But regardless of that, perhaps the OP could take a leaf out of your book and rationally explain his objections to the idea of a workbench or similar feature. Outbackyak 18:28, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
@Outbackyak. "GT" is just an abreviation for "gamertag." Most people either refer to me as CJ or just Jarrad. Anyway, I'll lay down my opposition for you.
Here's the gameflow of BL, to me: You kick ass to gain levels to get further and stronger to get better guns so you can kick ass to gain levels to get further and stronger to get better guns... ad infinitum. All the while enjoying the gameplay and storyline. Adding a workbench would abridge a large part of the game for me. Yes, it would be nice if my Jakobs 439x7 Masher had a scope and a better fire rate. So that's why farming Craw and the armory retains it's playability... I have a reason to keep going at it because I want that Masher with a 1.9 fire rate and a 3.9 zoom. Adding a workshop isn't going to end Willowtree or retardedly modded guns, and if people are that impatient, they can always find someone to make the gun for them or make it themselves on willowtree.
I'd also like to see the BL community develop more of an economy, and an in-game workbench is a step backward from that, I think.GT: ConceitedJarrad XBOX360 18:41, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
- While an economy would be wonderful and a workbench would be a step back from that, it'll be hard to develop an economy when any random person can crack open WT, make an all5 weapon (or several), and pass it/them off as legitimate. Therefore, the economy could be prosperous due to being flooded with constructs and/or mods. We, the community, can try to get a great economy going and perhaps succeed, but there'll always be the problem of how a scumbag who claims they found something they constructed is hard to tell apart from someone who actually found an all5 weapon. --
