It should not be difficult to make complementary weapons - there's a lot of suffixes and prefixes TH weapons missed. It only comprises fire, neg and a little bit of force damage.

Plus the TH weapons include AOE damage as their procs - EGS or SW don't have to. They could be single target.

Or if they wanted to merge mat systems, they could make TH weapons the base for SW weapons, if they're going to make SW more powerful. That would keep TH relevant - although it'd probably piss of a lot of people.

Given what we've seen from the Devs, they have their moments, but they're no where near as creative, rational or lore-abiding as their player base. They have unusual motivations for content that so violently differ from the playerbase, it's no surprise that we've lost so many players.

That said, I can't imagine they're going to do anything that saves old systems - they're just going to write newer ones, with newer, dupable mats that annoy everyone and decrease our gaming population even more.

But...uh...yeah, your suggestion would work. Anything that gets older raids run would be good - or keeps the newer raids relevant. Right now they don't have any long term staying power. The second you farm it to some multiple of 20 so you can get your items, you're done - unless you're running it to help guildies, get renown or purely for fun.

Kobold DO NOT WANT.

or said another way, so far the only way to get some kind of Epic Greensteel is that there won't be any weapon.

No, that's not lunch... its work.

Why not? What would be wrong with weapons that complemented TH ones?

We're missing quite a few damage types in TH weapons.

What did you mean by this Flav?
Is the ship rudderless currently?
What happened to Vanishing Vivian and Glib Glin?
Did they get Extreme Prejudice (tm)?

theres a reason shes called vanishing vivian

glins too busy tweeting fwiends to work on a game

They should first destroy all bagged ingredients and all current weapons.  Then introduce new ingredients that don't stack, don't bag, and don't bank, and have to be turned in to armorer/fletcher/etc to make any non-base weapon, and you get the weapon in the mail 7 days* later after he's done forging it.  Armorer can only make you one weapon at a time, because, duh, he's busy.

*7 days is how long it will take for Turbine to manual figure out you aren't cheating.

Wow. Came up with that all on your own did ya? How special. Items have a tag number. They can be tracked. Turbine doesnt want to because some of the duping processes actually make them money. It will never be fixed. DDO has become both a classroom for newb devs and testing grounds for other games. Whether anyone wishes to admit it or not, DDO is about a year from maintenance mode.

If you ever get the chance to pat +Krymux+ on the back for a job well done, feel free.   I've had two positive encounters with a GM in-game (since late 2010) and it was Krymux both times.  Bravo!
