I really think this server needs a way to make consistent progress on at least some levels. For me at the very least knowing that I could take 100 crates or 100,000 to get an item seems really disheartening to me. This is compounded for event items. Where I know there is only a ~10% chance of me getting that item if you put in a work weeks worth of hours during the event's duration. I get a lot of people enjoy the grind, but I neither have the time or the will to put in 40 hours at the chance to get an item in a video game anymore. Maybe I'm just burnt out in my hours in Gmod, but I just really feel like the system in place makes it throughly unenjoyable to go after anything rarer than the "starter" godlikes.
I'm fine with the idea that some things are made to be exceedingly rare. The osiris staff, the djinn crystal, etc. However there's the vast majority of things are nearly impossible to get unless you dedicate an embarrassing chunk of your life to go after it.
It's actually easier to list the godlikes that it's practical to acquire than the other way around. Tartarus, ascultone, Candy cane deagle, railgun, thrakos, and maybe the megalodon and deathbringer if you save long enough.
Compared to the Nearly Impossibly hard: frost, ferno, first prayer, last prayer, bloodfury, bloodweep (honestly not THAT rare.), Eleos, Esoteric X249, Infested Kunai, Onuris, The bows (celestials, but you get the point), and Snow Globe. I might be missing a few.
