on my second run through tried to sell a "rare" piece of gear had 3 total in my inventory that i was trying to sell had to refresh before selling each piece kind of a weird bug....overall good game though
so after playing for a month with the r3 equip shard removal from arena i have to say it was a bad move imo. Being a relatively new player it severely decreases the ability for people to try and catch up to people who have been playing for a while without spending alot of gold, which ultimately may or may not discourage them to continue playing. It also makes much more grinding of shards necessary with a 25% chance of getting the actual dmg increase on the item you want. Considering all the other grinding needed for augment materials and such I see this as a huge negative. Instead of removing the grindable equip shards from arena you could have just replaced one of the augment shard slots and added a equipment slot focused on the newer equipment in its place or keep the grindable shard removal and increase the drop rate of said shards in Hellforge.
R3 shard removal has been replaced with a higher chance of actually getting the full piece of equipment during gameplay. :) Yay !!
