Tempering is not right, or at least, there is one very specific thing that is very wrong (while everything else is fine)
There are almost no real arguments in favor of maintaining bricking. Literally, the best argument is: if you suffer, you feel better when you succeed. Honestly: one of the biggest nonsense. (This is a video game. You come here after suffering in real life to feel good. No additional suffering is needed.)
The only good argument is that “you shouldn’t be able to modify an item forever”, which kinda makes sense, but it doesn’t have to be random like it is now. Tempering is essentially crafting and it shouldn’t be like a lootbox.
Even though opinions have the same weight, arguments do not.
