I'm actually against rigs and so on, I'm against stat boosting implants as it is. (3% cpu imlpant etc.)
They comment they want to beat the "must have optimised setup" to compete thing, but all they are doing is just making the hunt for the optimised setup more expensive and more ardous to achieve. You'll never, ever, get rid of "optimised setup" behaviour in stat based games. I just wish they'd realise this and leave it to be simple to achieve. All these extra bits add is more 'grind' time to get them, just like in WoW/EQ/DaOC/every MMO where you have to grind to get the items for your template so you have half a chance in the fight.
