Charging for Gear Sets is very short sited

Having played New World for over 1000 hours, I have to say when I saw the new gear slot mechanic and the fact AWS want to charge for gear sets, I nearly choked on my coffee.

The only reason we need gear sets is due to the design of the game and the requirement to have multiple gear sets. Hello, just refining your materials, you need 4 sets.

Set 1. Leather Refining Set
Set 2. Cloth Refining Set
Set 3. Metal Refining Set
Set 4. Stone Refining Set

So that’s what I need today, just to complete my dailies, I swap into the first 4 sets every day.

Then we have:

Set 5. Fishing Set
Set 6. Gathering Set
Set 7. Luck Set
Set 8. Corruption Gear
Set 9. Ancient Gear
Set 10. Lost Gear

So I would say, the average player who’s continues to play New World are going to need a minimum of 8 gear slots with 10 being the sweet spot.

This requirement is due to the design of the game, to then want to charge even a dollar per set, is to nickle and dime your customers, over a QOL feature that should be a standard feature, not a nice to have, its a MUST have.

I agree there needs to be a limit, but that limit needs to be liberal enough that only those with excessive gear set requirement need buy more sets.

If the plan stays the same, I guess I can uninstall New World, as I not paying for the privilege of having the convenience of switching gear sets when the game requires it.

Cheers
Newbie

When I use my refining sets I type “tanin”, “smelting”, “weave” in the search bar to filter out the other gear and quickly locate the refining gear in storage. Then I manually move 5 pieces onto my character. Then I refine the stuff and move 5 pieces of gear back into storage.

So you have to click, type, click 5 times. That’s 7 clicks + typing, instead of 2 clicks, not trying to nit pick, but there is a QOL difference there. Also what do you do if you have random pieces of a certain ward (say, Lost ward)… you won’t be able to filter them out using the search function.

2 to 3 gear set slots will be absolutely free. That’s great!

Or maybe it just called a bait?

Dont take the bait?

Or more likely an insult, but that is just my opinion.

I dont take insult to the number of gear set slots.
