Lol, everyone is posting about something completely different than the intent of the OP.

Shame on you forum trolls, shame on you.

This was not a balance thread. This was not a MD thread.

This was simply pointing out that CCP doesn't seem to understand that apples do not equal oranges.

Also, the Thukker is perfectly balanced. The 2.5 meter radius is small. quite small. The core radius is huge, quite huge. The huge radius requires careful cooking (but not to careful with that splash radius). The contact Thukker requires precision.

Neither of them are the Fused Locus Grenade, which regardless of any argument about balance, or game breaking, does not have an isk equivalent.

To alleviate your collective confusion, I'll end this with a pointless demand (which you are all more comfortable with).

CCP Frame, reword your post to reflect that the Thukker serves as an isk approximation of the Fused Locus Grenade instead of an isk variant.

Fused Locus:
400 damage
6.0 radius (what?)
2 Max

Thukker:
600 damage
2.5 radius.
3 Max

Also note the CPU and PG req differences between the two nades.

Fused Locus:
400 damage
6.0 radius (what?)
2 Max

Thukker:
600 damage
2.5 radius.
3 Max

Agreed, any and every AUR item that does not have an indentical ISK variant, except for skillreq has to fall victim to the P2W sword.

They did great improvement since chromosome on that regard but the fused are a step in the wrong direction.

I do have to give them props for removing AUR variants that allowed for easier fitting than any ISK variant. That was definitely a sound anti-P2W move on their part. I can't say I was thrilled about ISK-variant variety being cut across most item types though.
