Diversity, balancing, credibility and compensation - Speaking a comprehensible language.

As far as i understood, an unknown person at DE, calling himself a real salesman, in recent weeks initiated a discussion about ammo consumption with multishot and, in a subordinate clause, binding dammage to weapon level, as something new he wants to do. Other mods should be used for more diversity instead of those redundant mods. In addition the game gets more balanced. "DE" is willing to implement this, unless you give him a reason to not to do it.

So - DE wants to reduce mod quantity by kind and rank, and let combination possibility stay at 8 slots. They claim there will be more diversity by limiting its fundament! - ? For me that already didnt work with warframes last year, it wont work with this neither.

Counterproposal: Change your mindset.

1) "unlimited" diversity: give me the possibility to use, and also an userfriendly way to configure, diversity by - unlimited modslots. - more loadouts in UI; either in an unlimited listbox, or in the existing scrollbar (1 loadout for 2 MRs is not enough) with more than 3 weapon and frame configurations (A,B,C). - namable configurations.

2) extend balancing, scaling and diversity: - if necessary, adjust "diversity" and "balance" also by amount of energypoints; as an extra layer of "scaling". Adjust by extrapoints depending on e.g. augmentmods, mastery rank, kind of weapon, weapon itself, limited energypoints on a certain slot (e.g.only 1 R16 mod allowed), missiontype, ... . - make mods consistent and worth to use; i.e. rifle aptitude - 9 energy points for 15% status chance. - and dont let low MR players join or start an open game on higher planets. Dont let other players make me their friend without my permission, so they cant disturb my friends only game.

3) regain credibility; don't mess your users: - ... Less is more. ... https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/325551-warframe-ability-mods-coming-changes/ introducing utility mod slot in U17. - Binding functionality to cosmetics Reintroduced with arcane enhancements, binding to syandanas and helmets instead treated as a warframe property. At least allow quick changes without paying plat here. - multishot is a bug - no contradiction, so it is intentionally done. http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Multishot ... fire more bullets without consuming extra ammunition. and http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Special:ListUsers/sysop
Local list users: DE Glen, DEDrew - Seration, Shred, Multishot is always on the list of 3 used mods, DS59. Take some mods out of the game and bind their functionality to the weapon, DS58. While it could be statistical true, it isn't for me: - There will always be a most powerfull combo; so let me decide myself, how much dps is enough for me, on my chosen fighting distance, in my chosen mission, i may have payed for with a crafted or earned key. Problems seem to be here: - I JUST HAVE NO SLOT TO PUT IN A MOD WITH THE ENRGYPOINTS I SAVED IN DIVERSITY IN DEPTH BY USING HALF RANKED MODS. MY DEGREE OF FREEDOM OF DIVERSITY IN WIDTH IS AND STAYS 8 ! - Ranking up a weapon or frame, and also getting the functionality of full ranked mods for free is a SHORTCUT, and also is a limitation; namely i dont have to need several mods in between size; i cant scale novas wormhole to 1 passthrough or will not be able to scale self damaging weapons. - Some pistol and rifle use ammunition from sniper pool. - there will be 3 other most used mods, (Ammo Mutation, Mag Size, Max Ammo), "diversity" will not really change.

    Put simply,
    the problem is 8, not 3; and the lack of "diversity" and usability of configuration-UI - as a result of a mindset. 
    DE's mindset, represented by their UI, is "play most powerfull with some frame" (have a look at Rebecca's layout nodes: ..., Loki Prime, Banshee, Trinity, Saryn, Vauban, Valkyr, Random ).
    It is not about "efficiently play a certain mission " e.g. "Corpus - midrange - MobDef", "Grineer - longrange - MobDef", "Tower - shortrange - Def", "Stealth Cap", "DmgDealer ODD", DmgDealer Ext", ... . 
    How to add a mission oriented configuration to the UI have a look at 1) again.
DE's mindset leads to the way of thinking, a situationally adapted equipment needs a rework to serve as good as all others, no matter which mission type to play - feel free to put in the words "overpowered", "nerf", "diversity". 
    At their very end all equipment are kind of equal, all MRs are equal, you can soloplay everything with your starterkit.

4.) Appropriate compensation: DE has, and are willing to change elementary function, instead level of efficiency of my equipment i have invested in. By doing this, they force me to a different gameplay i perhaps wouldn't bring in ressources. Warframe is still beta - but DE is saying they are respecting my investment!
Just giving back cores for obtained mods again wouldn't compensate the effort for getting them in the inventory with different ranks - think about potatoes and forma on weapons and frames, maybe plat for buying the Nth heavy caliber.

Cui bono ? DE - If everything is equal, it i easier for them to control their game to make hamsters stay in their wheel as long as possible - in companies language: to sell plat.

But this time DE contradicts themself - namely: selling plat and introducing a shortcut.

For me diversity is not defined by boring interchangeability but maximizing efficiency in different situations. Therefore DE's question "Give me a reason to not do it" is a rethorical one, as long as they are not giving me and them more options instead more limitations. As long as this mindset, the only allowed to enforce business interests, controls the game, i can't contradict that unknown person at DE - i have to deal with it. For the company - this decision will cost them money; i dont know how much it is and how they deal with it. In the matter he doesnt take back his contradictory decision, the real salesman is not trustworthy - at least for me; i dont want to speak for the company. Cheers.

And what do i do with that realization? If i want them to change their mind, i have to speak a comprehensible language: Dont buy plat.

Thank you for your attention.

p.s. i beg your pardon for my poor english
