It's kind of insane to think OTM dosent know what skill builds and gear people are wearing and switching between. In theory, a slight bit of data mining would be all OTM needs to design good end game gear. Anyone with a 4 year CS degree (which usually takes 5 lol) could do this.Please hire a loot designer that understands what players need at the end game. And not another fire lure ring or giants swing item.
or perhaps your data analyst can figure out how many proteus rings and gelebron bracers are in use compared to what's being banked. that ought to give some clues.
It would be bonus points if they had a loot designer that actually knew all 5 classes end game but as far as I can tell not a single OTM employee plays all classes.
