On the one hand, Reon and the gang are right, people who work or play harder or more often should of course be stronger, it's only natural.
On the other hand, I too feel like the game is becoming less interesting for many people due to the expensive prices of Rum and the kinda limited ways of playing (imo). This is why I have to disagree with the "maller side".
I hear of many people quitting, competition getting lower, scrubs doing all DW's a day without any enemy, all unseals go to Scrubs.
I'm not saying it is undeserved, people work hard to get what they got, spend time and cash into this.
But sadly, those few people are not the only ones we need. If this wants to be successful in the long run, we need to think of the big whole and make this most attractive for the biggest percentage of players not just the top 10 players/mallers.
The server started out well I believe, but as time passes and people become higher level, they find themselves in the situation that there's little to do if they can't go DW/CA since those are the only places that give you the strong gear and the strong gems (ofc you can make money and try buying those things, but doing money all day long for weeks trying to slowly catch up is not exactly the most fun either, I understand why people don't want to level newbies 5 hours a day).
Leveling becomes a real pain past 60 due to lack of equipment and really low rates. You need HB and nana all the time to gain a few percent in 15 minutes.
But...while HB CAN be free (Fortune tree, but seriously, that is the most irritating feature, since its kinda legal botting) nana is not free. Nana is super expensive, ingame and in rum, too. And as the levels get higher, you'll eventually ask yourself..when will I get High amplifiers of Strive? And here comes the bigger problem.
I can imagine Zankza will put this item into the mall just like the other leveling fruits. But I'm sure the prices will be inhuman.
They are most likely going to be more expensive than the nanas. So I'm assuming 5 Hi amps will be around 50 Rum...5$ for 5 Amps or 1$ each amp.
That's 1$ for amp and 80 cent for 2 nanas = 1,80$ for 30 minutes of leveling per person.
That's a real turn off. I've spent alot of money in the game already, more items are to come, and as I see it, the game will become more expensive as time passes forcing you to pay eve mroe money to compete. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I am.
This is kinda how I see this. Due to increase of potency of mall, server becomes more and more unnattractive for people to stay. Mallers are telling those who complain that they are wrong and should stop bitching because they enjoy it how it is. But this is no solution for the long run and I ask all mallers to consider this. You spend money now, you are having fun right now and you may be right with all things you say. You also help people with fairy boxes for free etc and all these things. Those things might be true, but this direction is not good in the long run. And tell me, do you honestly enjoy the PK? I hear some are bored by the lack of PK already, PVE is becoming monotone, repetitive, useless. Gearing up becomes irrelevant because of no competition.
The idea was to share DW / CA with others, but it seems this is not exactly working either. And also, it's kinda pitiful to accept such a proposition.
"You aint good enough so I let you win sometimes, so that when you become a bit stronger and more motivated, I'll crush you once again"
Long post, many thoughts, give me your response.
