While this is a welcome change and only 9 years over due... the majority of current players who could have beneffited from it wont. While counting attempts back to January of this year is better than nothing it still feels bad for people like me. I understand this just may be a technical limitation due to how they track and store data but still. Also, 40 seems a little high for a lot of things.

I have around 80 failures on PEN black stars. And almost every single one was last year. Only 30 more to go though till its free. So while in the future no one will ever get to this point..everyone who already was at this point didnt get much out of the change sadly, unless they went crazy on enhancing the last couple months.

Yes, I know it sounds like I am complaining for free stuff. Yes, I know I could have bought them. I been buying other stuff while being stubborn about clicking these. And yes there are probably only the tiniest fraction of people in this situation.

Yeah, I have enough failed attempts from last year that I could've easily gotten 3 100%s or more on just Pen Blackstar.
Yet I only have 6 attempts BS attempts from this year, because every single time I failed, it made me wanna do it less and less.

Would almost prefer it if the pity system went towards the percentage of success, instead of instant success out of nowhere - This way it'll gradually help people. (But at that point, just increase the enhancements itself)

This system shouldn't exist at  all.  We cant even call this enchanting today,  it is like a craft system where you have 100% chance to get something after a certain amount of attempts or a little chance of success before it happens.   

Yeah double the average it is still a lot of silver, but you always can buy almost all goods from the central market, so enchanting was always on your own risk. 

Enhancing it is when you can win a lot  for a  few attempts or lose everything and don't get anything for a million attempts.

In general double average saves a little % of people that got extremely unlucky, but we don't have enhancing anymore in this game, since pity system was implemented on official servers. 

Don't worry, devs said that will add  PEN Jetina accessory quest the only time and will never do it in the future, it was like an exclusive gift. So they will decrease the number of pity attempts, just give them  a bit of time, half more year, maybe year and it becomes more easier than it is today.
