@Wisspwhat we would really love is to have feedback from players taken in consideration by NCSoft. We did had this types of posts before, usually after some sort of big mess up by ncsoft, the result was always a big fat nothing. You have plenty of feedback in this forum, if you having trouble filtering it go to the Discord and ask the veteran players for some pointers, than again it would require NCSoft to actually care about it and that never actually happened in the recent history so good luck with that.

You guys should know by now that the GMs will only reply to controversial topics after getting the go ahead from Korea to do so. In this case Korea might just tell them to ignore you since i'm pretty sure they don't care much about all of this. As long as the dollars go in there pocket they are fine with having discontent in game/forums. This is one of the worst run company out there so you guys shouldn't be surprised with all this stuff, if you guys want to make some difference stop spending in the game. it is that simple.

@Hermes Can you please tell Korea to please stop sending us this useless events that only fills our inventories with unusable junk? You guys refuse to deal with the inventory item limits and yet you keep sending us this sort of events that have literally no use for the most of the rewards list! Personally i would prefer having no event or just a npc giving a XP 24h item compared to this crapfest of the matchstick event.

@Wisspin regards to the Ultimate Brooch "Promotion" you might want to check the general forum section.

@Hermes So, don't you think you should check the actual price of the box in your own L2store before putting it as a "promotion" at twice the L2Store price? I know NCWest players usually do some very questionable stuff but don't you think that's pushing a little bit?

I get what you saying, im on the same no spending boat, and because of that i know i have zero power in their choices, i accepted that. I been very critic of GMs in the past. Some of those for good reason but do you really think that every single one of the GMs, or whatever you want to call them, came to this world with a speech of helping the community and now they ignore you and are feeding the wrong information to whatever is in charge? Do you truly believe they changed completely in a matter of weeks? Because they all changed like that! Clearly they are giving the right information to management, they are just ignoring it because, as long as they hit the value they target for the year, they know they don't need to change a single thing to their plan. Doesn't matter if the plan is good or not, they won't change a thing. As i said, the only feedback that counts in this game is the money paying customers spend in this game. And finally the gms, it is very clear why they are ignoring everyone... they don't have an answer to the issues you face them with. How can they reply to you if they present the feedback you gave him to the management (AKA NC Korea) and they completely ignore it? What could they possible reply to you that makes you satisfied and at the same time won't get him fired? The answer is nothing! You want changes? you have two options, one: be an american citizen with money and present a case in court on their shady game practices, two: convince the top spending players to not spend the game for some time in this game. Good luck with both.

You keep thinking they are in charging of this game? That's funny! To all posting here, crazy is knowing that NCSoft works like this (been for a few years now) and yet you still come here, complain, and than spend money on this game. They only understand one way of feedback, and that's the money you spend on this game. Doesn't matter if a GM says he will care about you or the game, at the end of the day the only feedback that counts is the $$.

@Hermes@Wissp Is there any good reason why most of my permanent pots (that were grabbed from instances or other stuff) just got a timer on it?

11 AM UCT+1 time is not the same as 3PM PT time... What is it?

Thanks for the awesome 50% XP boost and for all those temporary pots we gonna win on the awesome event you were promising! (/sarcasm off)

the 2nd reward has a worth of 0 as it is impossible to enchant that item to +10. And as it is it's an item that serves for nothing.

@Hermes Two things: 1. Is the reward system a global thing (applied to the characters from both servers) or is it server based? 2. Are you aware that the second place reward is a completely useless item that has close to no value?

Considering the current NCoin price, some of this prices are 10/20x the market price. What's the reasoning? is Korea expecting a major deflation in our server's economy?

First of all thank you for actually answer, something that in the past rarely happened. I understand your point, even tho the changes made no difference whatsoever in the raid experience, i get the justification that you did for the 125 raids. The thing is, it doesn't explain the changes on Aegis raid since no one in this server could kill it before the changes. As far as i know we're not even close to it. The second thing you didn't reply was the reward part that was supposed to be improved, according to Juji post, that got absolutely no changes. Is that something that Korea changed at last hour or something that is still in works?

@Hermes Juji said in the announcements this: " Rebalance of Field Raid Bosses (Difficulty Level and Rewards) " Can you tell us what changes were done on the reward part he mentioned?

I know... but we talking about the star wars servers!

They didn't even put enough click bait items in the list to attract the gambler addicts.

If Juji was right and the drops were improved as well (unlikely) it actually gives us more. If i understood it correctly, it will be exactly the same thing for us, not even harder. But it will make it close to impossible to the rest. For me, my problem was it was a failed opportunity to make the system better. Then you have the only unkillable boss in game, what you do? make it more unkillable. NCLogic.

You could before... they are not 1 shot. You still didn't show up for them. As i said, it makes it easier for us, but feel free to show up.

LOL This makes our job easier, because it make sure we are the only ones that can kill it. But yeah, go for it then... lol

@Hermes You do realize no one can kills Aegis in our servers, right? If that's the case why make it even harder? When Juji said something about this we all thought he was talking about the 120 raids. Sad that this was a completely useless addiction.

*irony ON*@JujiGood to see the feedback we gave a few weeks ago is working! *irony OFF*

There's a third option and way more likely, they are doing it on purpose (as they been doing on other games, and i believe even got caught on some) and Juji doesn't know because they simply didn't told him. It's a very used strategy by other MMO companies and one of the reasons why you don't get any loot chances on NCWest. Can't legally put a chance that changes during the event, right? (In Korea they can't do it anymore cause of the complain the players made to the government so they do have the rates)

Irony ON: Good to see Korea is taking our feedback in consideration! Irony OFF Was hoping that the recent feedback request would mean this incredible shady tactics would end, but it seems everything is still the same, sad. Btw, for everyone who doesn't understand why they did this, the idea is simple, put a coin type event to be able to say "hey we did this kind of event and got 0 return so it doesn't pay off" and make sure no one use it to guarantee the income of consumables/items (even more expensively) is made via loot boxes.

Ill use the post i made on the discord: Also a few extra things: Consider reducing some prices on some of your events - The difference between the top tier and mid tier is getting bigger and bigger and that's due to the fact a lot of the gear necessary to get to the top tier content is blocked by ridiculously high prices. It's not reasonable to ask the same amount of money that you use to buy a car or, in some cases, a house to buy a single item ingame. And there are many items like that ingame at the moment. Try to be reasonable on the prices asked on your events would help a lot on making the server healthier. More events that Korea has access to and we do not - Bunch of events like the no party lvl penalty event or the improve enchants events and many others that they get and we don't. Would be nice to benefit from some of this events too. Make change to dual simple - Please end the restrictions needed to change between main and dual. It's so annoying every time you need to change class. Add option to keep just one of the augment options - The recent change that make us able to keep the previous augment was awesome, it would be even more awesome be able to keep just one of the different augment options. it would even make ppl use more stones to get a few extra stats. More feedback from GMs in forums - I imagine you guys have some limitations on the feedback you can give because of some orders from Korea but that doesn't justify the lack of feedback in the forum from your side. I've seen weeks with reasonable kind of requests/questions in the forum and the only activity from the gm's is the post of the week maintenance. Will update this if i remember something.
