If you have a designated blacksmith, it'd be much easier to use that character to make that weapon with all bonus effects then give it to your new character than to train up your new character's blacksmithing to do the same thing. There is a very good chance you have the materials to make the items already with your blacksmith, too. No effort went into reaching that goal with the new character.

Why does it matter if someone worked for a character to make their life easier when they make other characters? The effort went into making that smith. Also, what if you don't want that character to be a smith? You'll just be at the mercy of someone else to get what you want, which isn't necessairly a negative thing, but, in the end, it shouldn't matter what character of mine went through the effort. -I-, the player, went through the effort to get that item.

And RNG is RNG, completely random. I've gotten a rebellion magmic longsword on one of my new characters once. My level 53 (post le) evoker has NO good hand or feet equipment. Do I suddenly think that I've spent more blood, sweat, and tears on my newer character than my evoker? No, I just had better luck. Not like I deleted them anyway.

Like I said, the RNG can and will spit out either gold or garbage, basically. I'm not sure what your point is here.

But, really, I've been able to get 5, or so, rebellion weapons on my evoker. And with the treasure maps, getting a rebellion spirit is slightly easier.

Okay? It stands to reason because...well...evoker. Yeah. That's a topic for another day, though.

And, yes, twinking is MUCH easier than doing it normally. Having the resources and power to do it immediately than having to work up to get the resources and power is much easier.

Obviously, yes, because we had to go through the game normally in the first place to have the resources and power to help other characters along. In the end, it shouldn't matter whatsoever how quickly you can prepare a character, when the means to do so are available to everyone.

Grinding can get boring at times (see: most of the time), but there's hardly much one can do to make it better. The best grinding I remember is it being IC-wise. Yeah, it may take a little longer due to everyone trying to talk, but it can be much more fun and takes your mind off of time better than complete silence or idle OOC chatter.

It's nice, but, IC grinding isn't always an option or viable for a concept someone may have. The suggestions put forward by myself and many others are possibilites to make it better, as detailed in the link I gave before.
