Dear readers,
since the Admin announced the upcoming changes with the equipment a lot of people got angry and are openly against those updates.
While some others are just happy that something actually is happening there is one undeniable thing:
The equipment update changes the whole game concept!
Let me explain this:
Until the equipment update e-Sim is a game of cold numbers - you can buy certain supplies and you can say with 100% certainty how much damage you are going to do. People are able to plan what they do, MU's can say how much damage they are going to do and everything could be planned.
Now especially with the Miss-Chance the game will turn into a luck-based game.
You will never certainly know how much damage you are going to do and it is impossible to really plan in advance.
This makes the update not only a normal 'update' but rather a complete change of game mechanics
______________________________________
What does the update in general mean to the game?
1. It's going to be harder for starters
People new to the game will suffer the higher miss change without any possible way to really lower it.
Either they buy gold with real money to get equipment or they suffer from many misses
____
2. Civil Wars will get even worse
As you can see in the Update Announcement Q5 items will be given randomly to BH winners.
While the Critical Hit and Miss Chance make CW's harder to do the reward will be incredibly higher. Not only will the players in a organized and well executed CW still get a lot of BH's, they will also get a truckload of Q5 equipment!
____
3. Multi-Accounts will get more rewarding
As we all know there have quite a lot of Multi-Account-Bans these days, but we can be 99% certain that a lot of Multis are still undetected. Now with the changes you get Equipment for Inviting Players who reached Level 7.
This will encourage players to make multi-accounts, either with a proxy or with the 'Multiple Players with one IP'-form.
____
4. It will hurt the Weapon Economy
With the Miss-Chance people will think twice before buying any weapons higher than Q1.
They are expensive and some people already experienced many misses in a row on Testura.
Because of that only people with a lot of Gold (e.g. Gold-Buyers) and people who want to do huge damage before they quit the game will buy higher quality weapons.
____
In my personal opinion the changes are a really good idea and it is great to see some innovation but if the update is going to be implemented in its current state it will possibly do much damage to the game
Changes I'd like to see
- Rework the miss-system or delete it because it does more damage to the game than it does good
- Rework the Equipment-Gaining system. Maybe at least no equipment from CW-Medals.
- The players know that you deserve to get some money from the players but the changes are too much right now. These changes just add a whole lot of more pay to win to the game!

What are your opinions on this case?
Please restrain from just posting stuff like The Changes are bad, explain what you don't like and what you like.
Thank you for your attention,

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
