Amandies

I am a returning player, ive been off for about 1 year and decided to give it a shoot again. One thing is for sure, NO new players can when they reach lvl 99 get the gear they need to be able to play at 99+ places. There is basically: no adena drops, no item drops, no material drops, Some fortune pockets here and there and this is the main income you get from grinding. Ive gotten help from friends getting gear, ive did a decent investment in L2 store with the coupon event to be able to afford a decent weapon HOW do NCWest think new players will stay in the game after reaching lvl 99 without blowing their own economy into L2 store? Im not complaining about the l2 store, im complaining that you cannot make your way grinding in this game. Blazing Swamp, pagans, Hellbound, Giants cave (upper, middle) dont give any adena worth mentioning, nor any drops. Athelia Fortress and other high places sure they give alot of good stuff, but guess what the big problem is? New or returning players with no decent gear can enter those places.we cant even be in a party because we get 1 shotted. Time to raise the drops ALOT if you want new players to stay in the game. I used to love grinding and gathering materials, getting decent adena, and hopefully a drop (it was really hard back in the days, but whoa you got soo happy when you got one). Today you wont get any drops because its been removed from all the monsters. It takes away the fun in grinding. In games you need carrots for people to chase. The Carrots are out of reach. If i dont pay up several 1000 USD i dont stand a chance to atleast be able to play with 100+ parties. New players need to get a chance to feel the joy, and pain of playing Lineage2 for real, and dont stop when they reach lvl 99-100.
