Okay let me be clear,
1st of all I agree ALL PLAYERS SHOULD HAVE A DECENT FREE WAY TO GET lets set MID GEAR so every one can have fun!
2nd the number of useless chars IS CAUSING INSTABILITY + queue, which is the most annoying thing ever, having to wait 200 ppl in order for you to login and play. Do you understand that, there are ppl who are at home, after work and also want to play, but your boxed 20 toons is messing up with their play... because you put them on macro loop to stay afk day and night in low level zones. How is this JUST for all live players, comment on that.
3rd, how are you certain servers will be unstable and not performing better, you work at ncsoft or what ?
4rth, many as you say Normal players still play, why not make party with others and progress together but you prefer to stay afk 24/7 or do solo intances, why not join a decent smaller clan and develop it together, why not join teamspeak and share/discuss info about the game so you become more knowledgeable so you can improve your play … because you want to play solo and not deal with all that.. well you will have a tough time being solo here without using the L2STORE for sure, sad but that is the fact.
This is a social game, where playing with other people gives you an advantage over those, who just want to solo macro or try to farm some instances, where farm is very low.
So better stop being salty and mad about it, think about other players, who are also affected by the server problems, not only yours.
