Actually that part was always on the announcement O.O.
It was different on this thread, though I wanted to test/confirm myself whether it was RNG before asking for any changes on that part.
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...You're not wrong, but your typing sucks.
