There are two thinks that Tynon could do to make the game interesting again and it would benefit both the low power players as well as the high power players.
  1. Allow level 4 jewels to be removed. There is no warning that it would cost 100 gems to remove them and there is no cost to remove the lower level jewels. Am alternative would be to allow to 'merge in place'. What I mean is to tale 4 level 4 jewels and merge them with another level 4 jewel that is in a piece of equipment and the resultant level 5 jewel replaces it in that piece of equipment.
  2. Make the plan drops in WB consistent with how far along the quest path a player has progressed. If a player can grind the materials for the Light Bringer then the WB bosses would drop those plans and then next 4 lower level plans. In this case they would be the Champion Chest Guard, Champion Helmet, Champion Cloak and Champion Relic in addition to the Light Bringer Swords and Staffs.
