After RISE : The game actually has less content
Pre-Rise, I could do all the following even at level 90 and there would be a point :
s1 raids for seals and mats to make/dismantle items for element stones
s2 raids for mats/seals
s2 dailies for ap/scrolls/rings
s1 hero runs for trans/scrolls/ore
Muir/Shakkar/Succubus for drops/seals
Low level arena for easy seals/helping newbies to get seals
(Not counting s3 stuff obviously)
Now the only stuff worth doing (unless you want to farm for accesosries instead of buying them) are s3 dailies, s3 raids and possibly nif (hp inflation + attack cap and most people only want 1 fine gem per slot). Not sure if special battles have gotten easier or harder. Arena has probably gotten harder unless you have a heavily stacked party.
(not counting neam or RRs as they are pretty subjective).
Most of my friends logged on, did a few s2 runs for the novelty factor of getting easy rings/scrolls, then stood around and were like "theres nothing to do now".

With the loot dropping the way it is currently, the economy is going to be axed HARD.
I can't believe I'm saying this but having loot be rare-ish like it used to be was more fun than getting rank 8 scrolls and near end game accessories every time you run a 1min battle.
As for the abundance of drops, I kind of like it actually. It reminds me a little bit of Diablo 3 where drops just rains down from the sky. It's really easy to gear up then just enjoy the rest of the content. Unfortunately, Vindi is really lacking content so this is where the abundance of drops fail. Maybe give it a few months, idk.
Instead, please donate all of your trash to Jaexin. I am poor and willing to help you clean your inventory. I appreciate your charity. +yes
I agree with all your points except for the last. There IS less content after rise, I don't know how it can be argued the other way as battles were only taken away. New Perilous Ruins is really great and it looks amazing, but that's just for new players. Colru 8man fighting the 4 mini bosses? Nope. Kraken 8man with 4 tent players and 4 on head? Nope. Dullahan should have been included with this update.
Servers are empty I only see the same p2w players. Farming is pointless because there is noone to buy items. How attractive this game must be if everyone just stay afk?
**** quit already then.Everyone on forums is lamenting and crying about this new update but nobody is actually leaving the game.
Wlill Dullahan be 4man or 8?
It will be 4-man from what I've seen.
For me that's my focus right now, doing what i can to recirculate these new game materials and help stimulate the market. But it takes a lot of people in the community willing to conform to the new update.
Aside from that, i can't really say much in regard to whatever gripes or concerns people have; i just know that change tends to be jarring and some people will either accept it, or won't accept it.
+20 isn't out for a reason, there is no reason. You can't just buy runes for Enhancement solely based on +20 gear levels. Enhancement runes only go up to the point of +10 and by that point it's not even worth it to even buy those considering how stupidly easy it is to get +10 now. There's only 1 enhancement rune in the game that will work past +11 and that is the Safeguard Destruction Rune but even that downgrades your item by 1 unbind and -2 pretty much all the time with that .2% chance of actually succeeding in whatever it is you are doing.
This goes for a lot of others as well, you can't just Pay for your enhancement runes and expect a +15. You have to work for it unless you just simply get lucky. You can't Pay real cash to have a +15 weapon or higher to get pooped out at you.
Enchant runes on the other hand. Those are fine
The funny thing is that they made the game so easy that it doesn't make sense to gear up. without content, there's no reason to gear up. I've actively geared down so as to not kill a boss with half of a combo.
You're the exception. The majority of wallet warriors seem to want the game to be as easy as possible.
I would love to see a video of you killing s3, nifleheim , RR or special bosses with "half a combo" from full hp.
But there is no point whatsoever in crafting and trying to sell low level gear anymore. Not only do they drop like candy (except for armor, oddly enough), you get them for free from quests (unless the free gear from quests got removed). Exception : gear for set titles.
I would love to see a video of you somehow struggling to kill s3, Niflheim or Redeemer's with overpowered +15 gear.
