I feel like it would be highly beneficial for essential items (D-Long, D-Scim, DDS, etc) to be released into the game without the need for quests. Basically it will give us the benefit of being able to use these items, but as soon as the quests are released, upon equipping these items, if you hadn't done the quest it will say "You need to complete ---- to wield this item" like it usually does.
Obviously it isn't an ideal situation, but it will give us the ability to use items early, and as soon as the quests are released they become unusable. Nobody wants RuneRebels to turn into a regular lame-ass RSPS like SoulSplit, that's not what it has been built for, however I feel like the only way to please people in the mean time is to give an early release of items with the promise that the quest will soon follow.
It's obviously a pain staking situation having to code the game, if i had any knowledge of coding i'd try to help you myself, but unfortunately I don't, my qualifications are in media not computer language scripts or whatever they're known as.
Those who oppose this idea are either ridiculously wealthy in the game, to the point where it doesn't bother them about new item releases, or they just don't want to see change. Either way, reflect upon what could make the game better, and we all know that it's not bug fixes and graphical glitch fixes that are the most important problems, it's the content.
