So instead of beating around the bush dooming and glooming everyone, what are the "ramifications"? Other than being a min/max sperg?
Min/maxing in MH is almost always pointless. 90% of your success hinges entirely on your own skill. Armor skills can make up about 9.99% since things like evade+1, earplugs, guard inc can have a big impact on how you fight the monster. But they won't kill it for you.
I'm hesitant to even call charm table manipulation 0.01%. You can get a set that's just as good with a crappy run of the mill charm, all the important skills you can get from armor. And even the 'cursed tables' have charms you can work into those sets. You have an incredibly tiny chance of getting a 'god charm' even if you ARE on a good table - I sure never saw one in all my time playing Tri. Hours and hours of mining.
NOW, I say almost pointless because for some people, making that perfect armor set is an endgame goal and the reason they play so much. I'm kinda one of those people. However I recognize that I'm crazy, and something like restarting my game 10 times to get it right doesn't daunt me in the least. I'm somewhat worried about the idea of people getting screwed out of rustshards, if the problem was that bad you'd think they would have patched it by now.
ANYWAYS, worst case scenario you do go nuts and decide you NEED a charm made of unobtainium. Just make a new character. Won't take you THAT long to get back to where you were, since from what I understand HR grinding is no longer a requirement to access high rank/g-rank stuff.
can we please stop scaring people off with charm table talk oh god
