I got to thinking about the current gambling of ectos and how it's a pretty useless venture when you're only getting 50% or less back just for an achievement and a portable vendor.
What if there could be another gambling mechanism in place such as gambling those ectos to receive an item that would make your gear or weapons glow.
You could have "scrolls" possibly that could do many different things, such as + the gear up to let's say 20. The higher the +, the more the gear glows.
You COULD make it do more damage, but that would have to be thought about way more integrally. There could be different scrolls of different colors.
There could be a mechanism that if you + past 3 or 5, you're gear can break and turn back into ectos? To fix this, there could be unbreakable scrolls that will never let your items break. There could also be 100% scrolls that always give a +1.
This may help with helping stabilize the economy up to a certain point instead of always having to create a new currency or new legendary weapon to chase after.
Obviously the special scrolls would be super rare and possibly not even tradeable? Just an idea I'd like to throw out there.
Naw, you're probably right, we need to keep creating new currencies.
