On my phone, so excuse the lack of quotes.
It's good to know that I was wrong about HBR. I'll grant that doing the quests twice for a 10% increased DAR is pretty nice. It is still somewhat restrictive, since you're limited to what quests you can do increase the rate.
The tennis thing is why I said in the same complex. It wouldn't be a case of the court being governed by different staff. It would be rather like what you next said, with the easy mode. It would be possible to create something like hardcore, or to introduce options upon game creation similar to how they did with drop style. The purpose of a normal account in this case would be for people who want to play the game as intended without the boosted rates or whatever. There'd be no reason why they couldn't trade, since as I said before, a Lavis Cannon is a Lavis Cannon. If the normal mode player and easy mode player are comfortable with the trade and feel that things are fair, then I don't really see what the problem is. If normal players want to make a point of not trading for items they suspect were from the boosted rates, then that would be up to them.
The Pokémon thing isn't false. Yes, raw stats are important, but there comes a point where strategy can win out. Everything from creating good synergy with their abilities, making good use of different statuses, or burst damage options etc. Somebody who really knows what they're doing, is going to beat somebody with raw stats. Somebody with stats that knows what they're doing would be trickier of course, but certainly not insurmountable.
With the final point, "need" was perhaps the wrong word. I was talking very much of hypothetical items, such as the items potentially tweaked to become viable alternatives as you progress towards the items you want.
PSO is pretty much never ending. Once you know the game well enough to beat everything comfortably, the only real place to go after that is to beat it quicker. This means increasing our skills, but also means getting stronger equips. Let's say that a person really liked Sabers and was wanting a Lavis Cannon, but currently using something like a Durandal. The grind there would take quite some time. By intermediary items, I was thinking more along the lines of Ancient Saber or Red Saber. Items that fill the gap between "Charge whatever" and it's raw ATP counterpart. There would also be things like giving Visk Arrest. This would create a nice middle ground between whatever paralysis you were using at first, and the eventual 50% hit Arrest Raygun or Laser. Even more of a middle ground since Visk doesn't appear in Ult so is much less likely to have any notable hit. Then we have the likes of Burning Visit; a weapon which is worse than its former version, and requires a Photon Booster. By allowing it to combo, you'd have a slow moving projectile that pierces enemies, but is still powerful enough to serve as an alternative to a Berserk S-Launcher until you get C-Mode cleared.
Anyhoo, I'm actually in bed about to fall asleep, so sorry if my points seen jumbled or I'm not being clear. In either case, it's been nice talking with you Ceri0n; it's nice having civil differences of opinion. ^_^

. Seeing your arguments you might not know the meta there too.
