Funny. More time to play/bot does not equate to stronger in my eyes, but whatever.

You get Crystals of Determination by crushing R99 weapons. Not cheap to do it that way, since obviously needs hundreds, sometimes thousand Crystals to upgrade. The whole point was for it to be as difficult as possible to upgrade highly OE weapons. I hear you also get the Crystals at certain raid boss drops, but not sure. I agree that upgrade cost is way to high for US servers. Not only do you need lots of R gems and Determination, but Elcyum, too. The market for Elcyum has jumped to 4-5 times the price that it was a few months ago. Demand is fueling it. Best to wait to upgrade.

Of all of the crap that I have sitting in the Dimensional Merchant, you guys delete the one thing that I do use. Couldn't wait until the next update when everyone gets their own buffs?

So the whole point of the ranking system is to reward 24/7 botters? Got it. And what's this crap about automatically bowing to people at the top of the list?!?? I'm American. I don't automatically bow to anyone. And this isn't the military where you salute superiors. They need to do away with that.

Here's a thought that I'm betting wouldn't be too hard to implement: Why not let players choose who their "main" is by creating a Main Class Token, talisman or other doohickey that is bound to the inventory of whichever class a player determines to be his/her main class? You can sell them cheap for 1 ncoin or hero coin -- one time purchase per account -- since I imagine devising a quest for them would take way too much work and too long to test and debug. The ranking statistics would obviously pull from the token. Can't be too difficult to add that into the code, can it? Otherwise, everyone who no longer plays their main will be forced to reroll. That might be more profitable for NCSoft, but it's bound to lose some players. It's worth it to find a practical solution. Then again, considering how the rankings work, we all know only the "elite" players with no real life will always be at the top of the pack.
