I would like to convey a few concerns regarding events such as the VIP secret shop event which is coming to classic servers after this coming maintenance:
1. In the past we have viewed people exploiting this and getting top rewards using 3rd party programs
2. The event times that these happen at exclude a vast majority of players mostly in western and central time zones through the work week.
3. This sort of event, even though i encourage NCsoft to do free events, undermines the fiscal contributions to the L2store which sells under-supplemented drop rates of rewards pay to win boxes, cloak events, and other events NC soft makes L2store exclusive.
4. If lineage 2 classic servers wish to remain both free to play and pay to win, an equitable change needs to be made in order to not only keep the attention of existing players currently investing their own money but to also show new players an improved rate of success given to l2store items and hope they will also play. In the past many players left lineage 2 classic for this reason. Quantity over quality is a far better revenue approach instead of simply making l2store items more expensive and the rewards they provide, less attainable.
