you do realise youre complaining about everything that makes era what it is? if your a casual player and you're just on fro chit chat or such then don't buy the potion and stay in the no pk zones. Rusting forces you to either A) plan ahead and mine more than you need for the week and B) makes the wepons more leveled out seeing as the better wepons take more money and ores to repair. A Perfect shape uzi can take out a rusty M16. Besides it is not like you need to repair every single wepon you own. For instance i own every gun but i only repair the guns i actualy use. Ammo is not an issue. You can find 3000 ammo in 6 minutes ezpz. I do agree with you on one point. Era is for dedicated players and you can't exactly come on and dominate. But then again that's why era has more active players than classic. notice i said active. and also the fact that you can't just come in and dominate is a normal game feature. Look at is as a leveling system. New players Being Level 1, and so on. You gain "experiance" if you will by making money. When you have enough "Experiance"(money) you can then "level up"(by a new gun) that will make you a better player. nothing is handed to you in era. you earn it or you lose. that's why eras community is filled with legends.
