I just wanted to know how many players as old as me if not older (server 302 here, I began to play on 1st jan 2017) are in a situation like mine:

compelled since almost two years in being wholly unable to replace or reforge their horrible old gold ninja tools with the red ones only because the old ones continue to have +4 resistances and too good secondary stats coming from the early 2.0 BF hard mode to let us even think about replacing them with the supposed to be better ones that were added later (i have also the 6th red tool we just recently got, the tanto, I just avoided to synthesize it so far because would only take 1 spot in my backpack there).
