Idea of wc-1 is...

Well, look, there has to be something that fills the slot of "best item in the game", or else we'd be communists XD

You're probably just jealous because the samurai have an item better than you and you can't get at it, unless you join samurai or scam/overpay one of their members. Notice how all the powerplayers have posted in this thread, and no members from other kingdoms are complaining? Funny, eh.

I see the point, they are quite powerful, but i think they're fine as long as the other kingdoms get something similar, like WL suggested, and some system is created whereby its impossible to own the kingdom items unless you're in the kingdom (the leader can somehow retrieve the items if you leave/get kicked out) and you can't equip the items unless you're ontag :P

I think it's nice that the kingdoms are gaining strength over the trade tables blob, although its a shame they have to do this via stupid items =/
