I see that Nexon in there attempts to help new players be "less needy", have added a permanent fixture to the game that rewards players with boxes after passing certain challenges. If these boxes contain free equipment like the strangers gift at every 10th level event. I predict the game WILL die. (It may be too late what with the lag that makes it impossible to host for 80% of us). If free equipment isn't removed when this event end, there will be no reason to craft, no reason to farm, no reason to play... no reason to even bother showing up. Just like the reasons no one shows up now. Nexon.... PLEEEEEASE LISTEN FOR ONCE AND END YOUR MADNESS! This game could have been soooo much more...

Nexon is giving out free equipment BECAUSE they are listening. No one helps the new players, which is why players were quitting before they even reached level 70. When I started playing this game over two years ago, I made it all the way to level 73 before I even got level 60 gear, and I had to craft it through expertise because I couldn't complete the raid battles. There was no easy mode, and I was still using the Ewynsoch Glaive because that was the only item that actually dropped without needing to be crafted with raid-related materials! I spent so much time grinding for materials that I even gave up on the main story - in fact I am STILL at the start of episode 3 when you go into Ainle because I'm too lazy to do the story now.

Most of the time we've just been asking for them to adjust the drop-rate for materials needed to craft old equipment, but they didn't do that, and KR has already stated that there are plans to give out more equipment for completing stories.

I would prefer Chinese because of pork fried rice (and fortune cookie) - otherwise it'll be teriyaki chicken.

But if everything is closed at the moment...my Christmas tree is starting to look a little tasty...

I'd just like to throw in my support that this change will impact newer players a lot more than those who already have a level 90 - especially with the level up event ending that gives free gear every 10 levels, 60-90 is going to be a huge pain again.

Newer players will need to be able to upgrade level 80 gear or they won't even be able to advance into Season 3 without an easy mode, and obviously there's not really any point in reviving these broken 80 pieces once you hit 90. While the recent seal shop change makes level 90 gear super easy to craft and 80 remains boringly easy since the start of Season 3 (because of ore farming), it's not very beneficial to 70s in any way and players should be saving their seals for 90, not wasting them to re-craft level 80 gear that they can't revive because RNGesus keeps blowing them up.

Small Shield: Godwing Targe
Large Shield: Raider's (it's the closest to the 2nd Transformation Paladin large shield)
