The truly lineage2 always had a second way (harder but possible) to get item, why essence doesn't ?
Its a fact that some clans has commercial interests on the game, like the TWO , its a structured group that has monopoly of almost all spots and raidboss' hunting, there is no way to facing they.
TOI is impossible to move, you simply cant go around without 30 seconds delay, and that is good if other also had same freez, because when you go there, you will get PK in few minutes, usually guys from TWO will pk you because they had monopoly of all rooms with tons of farmers.
This week I had the privilege to do my 1st raid , it was on Pet Farming spot (that is a adena farming for they) and I got many pet potions , the drop was shity no books, nothing. Them yesterday I tried to do it again, we we got PK from 3 guys from TWO, it no way to defend ourselves, a Character 82 with good gear receiving 12k damage .
So, I understand that this is a PvP driven version, but its not possible to do anything , its not possible to grow without expend a lot of money, and many players will not expend this money on NCSOFT, we know that RTM is real.
Simply is not possible to farm anything in this server, even other clans lvl 6+ are not able to decently farm, so some hunting zones and loot box should be more generous.
Games like Newworld recently implemented the system that helps players that is not on dominating clan/guild/ally , you receive more gold, you have more lucky etc, but lineage2 when you are down of dominating clans you are pressed ever more to the ground.
