so please what?
is this an item you spent nuggets on? bonds? ingame cash? then it is the same like cullen's items or anything similar you got from using bonds/nuggets/cash. yes, you can upgrade cullen's items. I am not talking against upgrading howdah/gt. I am talking about updating their stats. if you think that one-time purchase should give you a privilege forever, then this is the wrong game for you.
if you spent real money/ingame money/bonds on an item once, and 2 years later it is no longer as good as it was because new items are introduced - this is not a reason to change the stats of this item. and I don't care if you spent bonds to buy a premium chest and want your howdah that came out of it updated, or if you got a pair of Pat Garrett's jeans from that chest and want those pants updated with better stats. I don't care if you spent millions on golden tomahawk or a bunch of cullen's razors you upgraded. those items are replaced by new and better stuff, and that's the way it goes. unfortunatelly! Inno should make us want to pay for new content, not for new items that are slightly improved compared to those from the last tombola event.
anyway, if Inno allows that 1500 bonds/nuggets that one player spent will forever grant them the best weapon in this game, and the same amount that someone else spent will give them crap, or at best 2-3 months of good gear until the next tombola - then I am firmly against it. you enjoyed your howdah and it was great for a while, now it's not that good. join the club - we all have it with our gear. why are those two items so special that they should be updated? because they are rare? so what? there's just a few of you that should be privileged? why? I understand why you would like to have the ultimate weapon, we all would. but I don't understand why howdah or GT should be that weapon and not [insert weapon of choice here]?
