allegedly speaking, could a +6 eva talisman/+7 aden talisman be restored by either the black or the prestige coupons or these talisman can't be restored by any means. for the players, what would it be worth to restore those charm or should i use them to gamble craft or is there a better use?(speaking as a noob in aden with no big items to restore)

I know that most people are happy and enjoy how a service like lineage2 that used to be a functional game turned into a casino where you only lose money. But leaving this issues aside, since clearly certain company doesn't see how fair gacha systems with pity systems and clear rates have taken most of the market share, i wonder if the next steps for the exalted gear would be some sort of fake dragon weapon. A fake dragon weapon would be a dragon weapon stage 1 but with some sort of penalty, like dealing no damage in pvp, thus this would still force people to find a real weapon if they want to join pvp. I wonder how disruptive an idea like this would be, also what ideas could actually "fix" the game or make it better for the long term. is there a long term anymore? are the monetary or mental investments done to the game worth doing at this stage? i know that there's a light and dark dragon that we have yet to see and the wind dragon was like instantly disabled. But has certain company shown any real interest to develop a real game?.

I don't know does a company that nearly doubled their market value since changing their tactics to "free to play" with multiple Subsidiaries around the world shows lack of competence to you? besides I'm not posting here for a GM to show up and fix everything with a magic wand because that will never happen. I'm posting here to tell everyone that still care for their game that they are going to continue to ruin it more and they will exploit every bit of addiction you may have developed to get deeper into your pockets because as you are aware not everyone is Free to play and many of the nice items that you see in the market came from the pockets of someone that actually payed.

Exactly, but with variable probabilities depending on each player behavior is not just black and white, with the amount of data companies have already the game can predict that if with your actions most likely indicate that you are about to quit, then you might get suddenly lucky or if you just want to throw a dice without a care for consequences you will get a reward accordingly to what you have spent but still not what you might have wanted since you still need a carrot to continue throwing a dice. On top of that they will create fake difficulties like balancing the mobs to be stronger with no additional rewards or nerfing the drop rate or even having a variable probability of a monster dropping something depending on your "progress" and this progress can be measured on multiple factors like logging each day, the overall strength of your characters, doing dailies, registering your credit card and using it, etc..

I found two interesting topics on the current gacha issues that Korea is living now if you are interested you can read them here 1 and here 2, and from what I read on the topic 1 they have confirmed one practice that I feared the most from these type of games and I bet that they apply it here in lineage 2 which is : "Currently, probability-type items are 'variable probabilities' structure, so their probabilities always change depending on the user's game progress, and developers and operators often do not know the exact probabilities." So yeah, if the US doesn't fight for Gacha Laws prepare to be bleeped in big time, because that progress can also translate to "Have you been identified as a big expender whale? watch how the game adjust the probabilities so that the items you desire have lower %". Right now the US likes to do propaganda against China, but China has better regulations on this issue than the US.

you don't need to provide me anything but you need to back up your words properly since your accusations involve something bigger than just a player cheating, you imply of NCSOFT workers being aware of a player doing RMT and not taking actions even after receiving reports, this put the company under direct violation of the LAW in the US since the game is backing a public mean of turning in game currency for real money and can be used to build up a case as there would be evidence of their direct involvement on such actions.

You speak of fairy tales yet you accuse someone of breaking the TOS in the past with bans and even colluding with the Game Masters with absolutely no evidence that's like shouting aliens went and kidnaped you from your room at night to install an bleep probe. And you ask me of reading your post which I definitely did and asked for concrete evidence for a proper investigation which a lead was provided by someone else by linking a live stream video. So I'll ask again, can you at least provide the evidence for his past bans so that it can be properly reviewed? is not like your post will be deleted.

Game devs will be: "lol you spent 20k in your char to achieve something? watch this patch so you need to spend another 20k so you can achieve what you did before haha lol".

@Juji not to be an alarmist but yesterday CD projekt red internal systems became compromised, any chance for this happening here?

Could someone explain to me with words what happened in those segments of the stream quoted and how can that be achieved by playing the game as intended?

Your dissatisfaction towards a player and accusing a GM of colluding with the same player won't solve the issue at hand, also pretty sure exe is friend with some of those top spenders so they may be happy with the game. Also these matters should be solved with concrete evidence on a forum ticket for a proper investigation and if they don't hear you there, use social media, there's reddit, twitter, facebook, instagram, etc...

This isn't a matter of racial discrimination, i'm talking about A korean company like nexon and A chinese company like Mihoyo being forced by LAW to show the rates of the gambling loot boxes that also require the player to buy a virtual currency in game to buy these.

what is more pitiful is that a top player like exe is forced to fight for these boxes because every other means to obtain items from the game outside the economy is a waste of time, the issue here is not a few players having control of the greedy boxes, the issue is the lack of diversity to obtain resources in a way that's not a waste of time and this is all game design.

A pity that a player needs to spend nearly 750 USD to show the player base how this sale event is nothing but a scam, with this sample we can conclude 1% for sayha blessing, 4% for sayha talisman 0.2% for a crystal level 11, 0.9% for a black ticket, 1.3% for a artifact box, 4% selenite, 1.7% Elcyum, 0.2% for a legendary dye, etc... so yeah, with those rates I can understand why they crippled the drop rate from regular means in game. This is why we need a public rate table for every item these gambling boxes, Nexon maplestory and mihoyo genshin impact were forced by law to this, i wonder what makes NCSOFT different.

They can certify the cafe like they do in korea, maybe with this they can start a new pr campaign and bring the pc system. where there's a will there's a way, either way, not like we take any decisions here if anything our weight is 0, these are just suggestions that some even see as whine and seeing the lack of interest of players to even open the forum, maybe they are happy with what they have.
