Remove the ability to loot equipment

Breor (US1)

In light of the recent changes made to equipment (the addition of yet more sets and the further prioritization of 9-piece sets), I think Goodgame Studios should remove equipment items and gems from the loot we get from NPCs. Instead, we should loot more resources, coins, and/or rubies. Even if Goodgame Studios only wanted to give us the sale value of the equipment (such as 1000 coins for an epic item), I would still prefer this to selling my equipment one by one in the forge.

Even low-level players can now easily get unique sets, such as the Shadow King and the Foreign Invader. When's the last time you used an epic piece of equipment? Furthermore, with the addition of unique gems, we players have no use for regular gems. Those who do well in the events regularly have lots of great gems but no commanders/castellans to put them on.

Shameless plug... I have a YouTube channel and pulled this suggestion from one of my recent videos, which summarized the updates for July 2018.

Love the idea Breor. Keep up the great work.

I 100% agree Breor. Myself, being a level 29 almost has a full Invader set. I do think this change should be made.

I think GGS should tell us that the shapeshifter cast is just a cruel joke first.

You can probably use all the epic equipment you can find lol.

Unless they decide to put actual fire casts into the game... No... 

I'm not against it if there would still be a way to get equipment for fire casts

I kinda find this idea a bit strange, since there are some missions on achievements, where you have to collect normal,epic, legendary equipments.
And like @SteelSlayer (US1)  said, there are some equipments that are really helpful, as fire parts for castellans, fire gems.

But an easy fix for this, is to give to players the option on the settings if they want to get equipments or not.
About more loot from towers, no. I think is ok like is right now, there are some bonuses that make you get more loot from towers. Such as the 70% loot berimond title. I've seen battle raports from fire towers with 15k wood/stone 40k food. I think is ok like that. 

What i would like to see is to get more loot from storm islands forts. Attacking a level 80 fort gives you ~9/10k food, and 2/3k resources.. also coins, since is a level 80 enemy.

I agree with both of these, although I'm not too fussed about coins in storm, there's enough coins flying around everywhere already, but I'll admit I'd be more likely to play storm each month if coins came in as well.

I would actually tackle the equipment situation with two changes:

a/ have a "sell all items of X rarity" button to quick-sell items, even if this was separated by cast and comm it would save a huge amount of time.... and
b/ The choice I'd pick if it was there is closer to what you're suggesting, but just have it either "collect in storage" or "automatically sell" every item at or below rarity X

That way you could still just have it auto-sell green/purples if you want to collect for an extra fire cast or something, but you're not constantly selling 250 items one by one every few days

I never want to see a gem again.
