Rizos summarized the whole story. My 50 cents on this subject:
1) We made list of server flaws only Koll gave a fuck and he is the only reason i sticked around this long(but sadly thats not enough)
2) We pointed out solutions and ideas . Still 0 implementations
3) We made tests proving drop rate is fucked , again except koll trying there was 0 changes
all these up to the point gms woke up from comma when all EU community left and cashed out.
Now @San0 the train is gone , we cant bring back people with "small baits" no matter how many "drop rate changes" or "mini updates" or "meme giveaways" u guys will do. Your arrogance and "i know better" attitude combined with the guidelines sjeks and voo instructed u made this server the l2 biggest shithole. This abomination has nothing to do with TI we loved and supported.
If u feel offended u can ban/delete message and act butthurt , but if i was u i would think very well before act. There is only 1 solution if u want to save the project: COMPLETE SERVER MAKE OVER
1) Make proper advertisment for new chapter new "masterworked" classic updates and fucking pay people to play if needed.(with proper map explaining whats next)
2) When this new content is ready introduce proper catch up mechanic with stages ex:1-40 x15/ 40-52 x10/ 52-61 x7/ 61-74 x5 /74+ normal rates.
3) Fix all mechanics like TI about drop/exp rates and even easier for people to get daily small accomplishments and keep them hooked up with the game.
4) Make proper classes rebalance not just copy paste post antharas balances, server stage is different it requires different approach.
5) Revoke the meme 1+1 low interlude lovers cringe windows limitation. we don't need this shit , we are old and with less and less time to play everyday, u cripple small groups and cps this way and randoms that wanted to make a proper solo/duo farm setup and enjoy on their own pace.
6) Show u care actively , we didn't see u are alive since opening to this day, the only gms interaction people see is when media channel is cleaned from spam.
7) Implement Rerolls already to allow randoms change their own chars into something a cp needs so they can enter competitive stage.
8 ) And last but not least, quit this " we want people to slow progress" policy no1 is going to farm 1 full week to craft 1 bw glove we don't have time nor patience to play on on purpose reduced rates.
