I've wrote a ticket to gree about it and just got a response
On Sep 22 03:52 I wrote a ticket to GREE:
Hello,
I'd like to get an answer to the question that's on everyone's lips - is epic armor fusing still possible? Rumour has it that you've removed that option (quietly - shame on you) with the recent update and the Beast Brawl 1 was just a smokescreen to give you more time to implement the update. It's high time to officially confirm or deny this - I don't want to play a rigged game and I'm sure many others don't want to waste their time on it either. Removing the one option that made this game close to "fair" (let's be honest - the credit card warriors will always be better than the regular players) is NOT how you convince players to buy gems. That's how you lose the playerbase (regular players quit --> there is no one to compete with --> credit card warriors quit).
Hope you didn't do what I think you've done
James

Hi,
It was rebalanced and reworked.
I **** you not. Initially I wanted to punch a hole through the screen, then I smoked a cigarette and wrote another ticket. I'd suggest bombarding them with tickets, they have to give an honest answer at one point.
