the reason I originally suggested blue weight reduction is because the amount of work that goes into them is infinitely more than a WoE blue. It's not just about effectiveness per weight (not all of us run bg solo, nor do we use alternative clients in order to be able to log multiples. what I'm saying is that BG gets botted to hell, no accusations, it's just dumb to pretend it doesnt, when the rest of the game additions keep botting as a factor)
Making ranked blues is labourous, from collecting supply to the process of creation. There's no reason they should even be close to equal to WoE blues.
Because it's relevant, I don't do bg, ever. i haven't done it in two years. Someone AFKs my char. This is a problem.
Rather than nerfing the WoE blues, I think just buffing the Ranked ones should be fine. Maybe it'd encourage more playing in bio/GD to hunt the items. Also ranked blues are finite, where as WoE blues are infinite.
BG needs changing, frankly I think deleting the randomization would be fine. I don't like being forced to carry enemies supplies. I'd rather be able to gather a group and stop them.
AFK kicking isn't really possible. I may be wrong (but I'm sure I'm not) that the only way the server can handle this is a timed portal in a certain area (the spawn), which means people will just move their AFK chars/bots aside.
better randomizing - nothing in RO is truly random, most of it is based on timers. In BGs case it's just the order you enter, which almost exclusively ensures the same teams each time, due to ping, reactivity, etc.
BG exclusive supplies - this has been covered before, they can only create exclusive consumables. Catalysts can't be exclusive to anything or anywhere because they can't change the item ID that a skill calls upon.
dynamic player count - not so sure on this one
I don't think you get DC'd when being killed sometimes - the DCs happen when dying times with the portal that respawns you. To fix it all they need to do is change it from a portal to an npc. Preferably something OnClick and not OnTouch.
arguably better modes - not really arguable. They are better.
edit: it's 2017, why is the word a-f-k-er still censored? Homunc drama is so 2012.
