So once again we seem to be having the fascinating and exciting dillusion that ss2 markets work. The removal of aspect augs from serengeti mobs makes it effectively impossible for a new player to get access to these augmenters without buying them or having them gifted to them. The aspect aug used in nearly all builds on the website is lion, which is nearly impossible to solo with combo aspect augs and totally impossible to solo without them.
This change creates a blockage, a point at which new players will either have to join an existing old gaurd team or never bother subbing becouse they cannot advance without an existing old gaurd players help. What this functionally means in practice is that the game is perminently locked at a couple of thousand accounts as this is all the existing old gaurd teams have room for.
There is no reason why farming aspect augs is even a relevant problem, they are used in basebuilding and thus requiered in staggering numbers compaired to other augmenters. A single spirit of the lion aug requires 2 aspect of the lions, at 15 weeks uni 5 charachters thats 75/2 = 37 augs IF they have a 100% drop rate, which i doubt. More likely you are now looking at the number of augs dropped now being a fraction of the number nessesary to build bases.
I have no idea what could possibly have motivated this change besides someones desire to cash in on their aspect stockpiles, a very poor reason. Please undo this change immedeatly, as it serves only to further discourage both active play and subbing.
You want people to do something more, make it easy. You make it hard, people do it less.
