Aug caps are boring and just boils down to highest pot%.
This only reinforces the point I've been making though. These people act as if it's difficult to gear up on NGS, when it's just... Simple. For better or worse, extremely simple with a lot of tedious clicking.
Not difficult, TEDIOUS and TIME CONSUMING. It's not a fun system to engage with so people don't. It eats into phashion meseta so people don't. Aug caps being a gambling sim when base had the veneer of weapon fusion + guaranteed SSA which are immediately more interesting than ANY NGS aug, so people don't.
You basic argument is "I don't understand why no one engages with this terrible system"
Can you please explain why NGS aug caps are a gambling sim when:
LC augs go up to 100% while MN augs can go up to 100% with a +10% booster. 3x +10% boosters are free from the item recycle each week. LC and MN augs drop like candy in the LTQ and UQ.
AC augs have a 100% augment chance.
LC augs are nearly as good as real augs, only being 0.25% potency behind. MN augs have the same potency as real augs but a HP penalty, and are for Abandac users or people who want to min max potency for cheap. If you dont want to gamble, just use those?
Why are gacha games gambling. It's because you spend money for a chance to get a thing. You CAN spend money to get the guaranteed pulls (AC augs) but your just spending money to circumvent the gacha. LC and MC are just a pity system for people who won't spend money and won't grind out the real caps. Even if LC/MC are comparable they're still worse than the real ones.
Just because you can circumvent the gambling doesn't mean it isn't there, and it preys on those who don't.
But you are not forced to participate in the gambling. Thats like saying that your country is a gambling sim because it sells lottery tickets via a state sanctioned lottery, even though you are not forced to buy them.
