Trial members already have special GE limits applied to certain items but they aren't done well and end up being a slight annoyance. I think a permanent free trial would be great if they fixed this/came up with a better solution.
Highest I've hit is 517 but I haven't seen any bold splats. The gloves are still "slightly degraded" after 10 overload doses. Edit: The gloves are "very degraded" 2 doses later.
