I dunno if they're able to do that, though, but it would be very helpful.
I for one have way too many spanners, and I can't hardly use any, so they're just going to waste. Thats a lot of seeds that I could otherwise have.

Another thing that could be helpful if they didn't do that, is maybe changing it back so that spanners dont to 6 or 3 damage, and gears only do like 4 and 2 (I think thats what it is, since as my second profession I can only heal 2 if i'm set to an engineer). If that happened, then the few gears that people have could do more help, and all the spanners wouldn't do quite so much damage. At this point, people are out of gears and everyone is loaded up with spanners, but the teams are all dead so that they can't do anything or heal fast enough.
