It's convenient and not that much more expensive than crafting mss/mbss(mysterious), kind of break the purpose of dwarven crafting.

Hazelrose - Chronos

New Neutral Zone: Good for low players. The bad about it: high level players abuse the high adena drop there. Bad: Isle of Souls: Adena increased a lot making pointless going 112 spot except top ranking of server. Time Hunting Zones difficulty: I don't understand why make things harder I have good gear and 110 Level and two hit all mobs at most but it takes less than 3 seconds to die if I stop the macro... I can tell how bad it is for a average player to hunt in there. Lack of content and item flow: No new content is boring and too much lack of items missing in game.

It changed, read patch notes here: Herald of Light Game Update

I notice adena drop amount increased in Isle of Souls is this intended?

They removed the option and forced it in purpose. Personally I don't care about Hero Chat too. I use /block.

Prices are high only because there is too much adena in game and is too easy to obtain adena for above average geared population.

You have to provide more information, level penalty exists, to the point they will not land at all(with a few exception such as iss debuffs), the same applies to monsters... And on top of that you have plenty of items that increase de-buff resistance. But we do know that game now is all about lethal blows and you should expect even more similar unbalances to come in next updates.

Yes.

Most Rune Stones comes from store promotions and Enchants from instance rewards.

Work as intended it's p.atk critical damage
