I don't know why things changed so drastically but now Darke is more a game of idlers than active players. Probably with CMS you don't have to do anything but idle to get big and good at what you want to do (tinker or enchanter). Equipment could be redone too because the best gear is so much better than the worst that the best gear is the average?
