It looks like a shitty kit car.

It does. Applying the video game logic, it looks badass at first glance, but once you play a little bit and learn more about what's out there, you find out it's kinda a noob trap.

Which really sucks because getting a good item early in the game and carrying it with you the whole time feels really special. Bilbo picked up sting as a level 1 Hobbit. He didn't upgrade his sword two or three times during his adventure. He got something cool and passed it down to frodo.

Item scaling just makes everything seem like temporary trash, disposable.

I, too, wasted scales on the Drake Sword.

Not probably. This is a shitty kit car.

I used to dream about getting a fiero and kitting it up in my early twenties. Seemed like such a cool project and achievable way to get something my broke ass could never obtain otherwise.

I grew out of that phase but it still doesn’t sit right with me to shit on someone else that might have lived out that dream. I hope the dudes happy and enjoying life more than anyone who has the real thing.
