This update is painful to any player who can't or not willing to particiapate in the pay-to-win aspect of Lineage 2. It takes away content, which was there to simply enjoy without spending a dime. (quests, hunting zones) It takes away methods to get some adena just by playing. It cripples all players with lower levels or low gear, it affects small clans badly. I'm here since L2 became "free to play" and my main toon is only 103 and my biggest value is a Kelbim dual dagger. I think differently about spending time or money (which is time) on a game. Still I had some fun by doin daily stuff, and plannin how i will get a decent cloak in 2050.... (Eg: "100 day.. " quest was my only predictable revenue source in the game.) As the (d)evolution of L2 continues, its getting more and more unpleasant to me, and close to the verge where the fun and the struggle is so disbalanced its pointless to keep playing. NC thinks they can convert players to customers by these kind of updates? NC thinks they can favor the top milking cows by these kind of updates? NC tries to aliante non-customer players to lower server costs? Are regular, low level players unncessary to the ecosystem? Anyway, this was one of the most painful, and sad updates. And 2 weeks of xp and drop bonuses can't help that.
