the drops are pretty much the same in all regions. it kind of is what it is.
the biggest issue with ncwest is that they refuse to implement the in game coin store, allowing us to gear ourselves cheaper and via game play (Einhassad Store, L-Coin, etc). We have a substantially higher cost model than other non Korea regions, which doesnt look like it will change unless ncsoft sales continue to drop.
poor p2w event rewards, overly high prices, removal of key gear sources like greedy chests all with no replacement ever put back in. The cost model is killing this game. Couple that with a bad update and summer, yea people are quitting.
I've said this multiple times. It is easy for p2w players to find a new game. It is not easy for ncsoft to find new players willing to spend large amounts on their products. sadly, they wont change anything until its too late, like always.
o yea, we should merge naia and chronos. make time zone a compensation one in the middle like oly and dim siege so all are happy. Be way more fun
