Proposition: A UW reset function that benefits both players and devs.

Warning ::long ass read ahead::

So I was looking at my UW's today considering whether I wanted to continue my journey down the econ hole or if I should jump on the CF train to aim for a better stay in legends. Problem is, both routes suck for me because they're both looking like 5-6k stones investment because I misspent in several places before I was able to understand the actual synergies and functions of the UW's themselves.

So what the hell does this have to do with addressing the community desire to see such functionality and also keeping the lights on for Fudds? So glad you asked dear reader!

So here's what I think could truly strike a middle ground for both sides. Allow the players to reset their stone spending, but set the currency needed to stones instead of gems. Say maybe 100 stones base cost to reset?

Before any of you F2P guys come for my neck, hear me out. The reasoning behind this is 1: whales gonna whale, they fund the game and in return we get the benefit of their spending trickled down in the form of improvements, updates, and the like.

Also, To keep incremental incentives and balance I would like to suggest the devs simply lock the option to buy your next UW until the completion of reallocation of stones to a set threshold of value left in the stone value refunded. That way people don't kill their builds trying to get that 8th or 9th UW and let's them fix foot guns at the same time.

Setting a stone cost also incintivises those who spend to continue to do so, and the F2P guys who are already at a (unfortunate) disadvantage will still be able to benefit with time investment to get those same stones for reset.

So, to recap

Benefits to the devs:

*1: players keep spending and supporting the team

*2 massive good will from the community and establishing further trust to incentivise more spending and play time with less complaints.

*3 reduces expectations for new UW development and all the associated cost and time investment by allowing alterations of Playstyle to keep folks interested and invested longer.

Benefits to players:

*1: the ability to reset and fix foot guns, misclicks, and plain ole ignorance for many, many players who didn't know they needed to go learn a novels worth of info before spending (not a complaint, just the reality of depth in this game)

*2: a new function to diversify, theory craft, and change with the shifting sands of new development and UW alterations as they mature (looking at you PS, and DW).

3: we can now all find something else to be pissed about that is in the works to be fixed. I strongly suggest tournament placement complaints, they're all the rage these days and they are so fetch (it's a thing, deal with it).

Or, if all of the above is too much to ask, maybe we could get UW profiles? The concept is established, functional, and would allow a pseudo fix to save dev cycles and bugs while giving players diversity and fixes (please don't lock them behind keys, that will just piss everyone off).

Either way, thank you u/fuddsworth, the development team, and the community for your consideration. I hope that this suggestion can bring some value to all of us.
