I almost shed a tear there XD
No offense but your L2/NCoin example is either naive (which i'm pretty sure you aren't) or a joke for anybody who played on Aden. Outside of the "limited purchase" examples u gave can also use a ton of L2 Coin / Ncoin to get early IG Advantages such as :
> Intensive use of QHP pots before Clan lvl 4 and NCWest starting to distribute them as reward
> Intensive use of Teleport scrolls / Share locations
> Selling L1K boxes for adena and using them to buy any market items u would know, as experienced essence player, will get more valuable over time (hello magical tablets, evo stones, books, random craft...)
> buying perma sayha's boost for faster leveling... and there's still tons of examples to give on how to spend money ig
Don't get me wrong it's not a even criticism as it's pretty obvious that u guys basically won the game : securing epics, getting castles, getting books and AOE one shotting clans.... nothing else to say than ggwp
The sad part is just that Aden experience seems pretty over now for both sides (is there still even sides on Elcadia ? XD) as opponent are probably to far from ur gear/lvl to effectively compete and u guys don't still have much to achieve so my guess is most people on both side will soon get bored and quit, leaving server empty (which already started to be honest).
