I'm having a debate with my friends about the upgrade station mod for Ark. I personally think the upgrade station makes the game too easy and takes the fun out of finding an upgraded item that you otherwise couldn't get from a daily grind. Since we added the upgrade station to our server we've been able to max out all of our gear to ascended and also tweak the stats to perfection with enough resource grinding. Being a beefcake is awesome but now it makes cave diving boring for me and anytime I kill an alpha the loot means nothing to me. We ended up disabling loot crates since we have the upgrade station. I built this poll with various arguments in order to get an idea of what the rest of the internet thinks.
