5 X 20 = 100 Pay Up ROFL 5 is TWENTY times LOWER than 100 If I gave you $5 TWENTY times you would have $100 It's even written in the official chart. Lost Ark and Final Fantasy and proving the gaming community still has MILLIONS of potential real customers. This 20X Reduction garbage isn't going to draw them in. Aden server will just have a small pathetic mostly AFK community and dead servers just like the rest after the novelty wears off. And it's really not even that great now. It's designed to fail and it will do just that. #1 Adena LOL It's actually MORE LIKE 30X -REDUCED Adena rate anyway since people doing it would generally not be spamming buffs. So they would be killing mobs much lower than normal with virtually no buffs and killing them slower. Just fess up, the entire system is a failure. L2 Aden is not F2P or P2W, it's A2P (ANNOY CUSTOMERS TO PAY) The intent is to make the game experience completely intolerable so you pay to fix it. It's a scam. Now honor your statement and pay up.

It's more on the sad community for destroying the game than the developers. (Although the devs certainly have responsibility as well). Anyone purchasing anything from this game is essentially ruining the entire MMO genre. Even these streamers that complain admit they paid a fortune into it. They PAY to ruin their own game experience and then expect the devs not to abuse them. How anyone can think a 5% Adena drop rate (20X reduced is ACCEPTABLE)? Get a backbone and stand up for yourself. You can do something about it today, right now. QUIT.

Why are you acting like Aden won't be any different? Every day the P2W advantages will seep into the game until it's just as bad. And of course they will ruin it. There is a lot of quick cash in trashing the game that way and a lot of suckers to support it. In fact I don't recall a single statement about Lineage II that wasn't, "it's P2W don't bother". Outside the game that's all that needs to be said.

You didn't mention the unethical and scam mechanics built into this system. For example you list it as "+100% Adena drop" without saying it's actually a negative 10,000%+ Adena Drop Rate WITHOUT IT. In fact it's ultimately a ENERGY SYSTEM for the game with an infinite adena penalty. If you merely got a 100% Adena Drop boost this wouldn't be that much of an issue, but the truth is the -10,000%+ Adena Drop Rate is real and as far as I can tell you will get 1 Adena from any mob period regardless of location or level. It's just an energy scam. The solution is simple: 1 Adena DROP RATE is a scam and doesn't belong in ANY game period. (Also all that information is needless garbage. It's just chores and unnecessarily complicates the game for no actual value. An optimizing tactic is fine for leveling fast or stats, but in this case it's just all useless content. Maybe if people stop paying real money for these services the companies will focus on enjoyable content instead

"No time limits or weird loopholes" Aden essentially has an energy system. Once your SG runs out you get 1 Adena making is unfeasible to play unless you burn through all your resources which you won't even have without P2W. So YES it's time limited, even worse ENERGY BASED system. The challenge? What challenge? It's an AUTO AFK game mostly. And the entire point of the cash shop is to remove all challenge. Even then nothing is based on challenge at all. Every single steamer says the same thing about all versions of the game. PVP is just a stat check and a person that spend $1,000's found themselves being 1 shot all over and unable to kill more P2W players. The game is even a bit crowded since you essentially can't really hunt near others. Don't worry a few months will solve that as the server just dies off because it lacks any real content or value.

So your not interested in "AN OLD" broken heavily unbalanced mess of a game, but a "RECENTLY RELEASED" broken unbalanced mess of a game is what you're looking for? These games should be shut down as fraudulent advertising. The fact they advertise as "Free to Play forever" should be enough case to get them shut down for false advertising. The ONLY value to this game is making other P2W piles of trash and mobile scams seem a little more reasonable.

Can you explain how it's even remotely acceptable to have mobs drop 1 Adena as opposed to 20-50 with P2W? I didn't see any advertising or descriptions about Reduced drops rates 2,000% - 5,000%. Maybe the truth isn't marketable? Shouldn't the hover tips say "reduced rates by 20X to 50X?) Can the company at least be honest about it's blatant ruining of the game with P2W tactics? Sounds like false advertising to just NOTHING and have Sayha say "reduces drop penalty".
