can we please be explained what the thought process on the headgear cert recycle-a-tron is? these trade in numbers are crazy. trade in a tier 3 cert for 2 token, you need 125 token, 100,000z, and a blank cert to make one. i've defended the potential final outcome of this system far too long. i really just do not understand. why add rng on top of rng in the first place? why make it so hard to get the result you want after you have already invested time and most likely kp? i have actually been collecting these thing the entire time they have been out. and killing mvps to get bronze keys. i even bought gold keys. and have easily spent more than i would have on a single month box to get a hat i wanted. i dont have nearly enough certs to craft one tier three hat cert i would want. and even when i do start getting single hats.... i need it to be a +9 or +10 before it's "finished". what we need are measures to lessen the pain of this rng mess you guys have made.
this is the server i made my home. and for mechanical reasons the one i would prefer to always play. the lack of care put in to our server really hurts me on a personal level. the mass majority of players dont even take the time to come here and voice there opinions.... but the rumor that has started from your lack of care is "there trying to make classic unappealing so the numbers get low enough to justify closing it". thats what your playerbase thinks bassed on the actions that have been taken the last year or so. i do what i can to argue vs these sentiments. but even i have to admit things have not been looking better for quite a while now. and seem to just get worse.
so what do we do about it? well the first and foremost is communication. that doesnt meen just doing whatever the players say, but it does meen communicating your intentions so the players who know this game can assist you. if you open foundry posts to discuss implementations, many of the players who do not post because they feel there is no place to have actual input, would have a place to post. lay out the entire system together in one place, this would also allow you to go over the rng yourself and make your own opinion.
i'm assuming your on your own here with classic. but go bug the other ro gms who have worked on or played classic. compare grany boxter and your recycleatron/frank/box/cert/crafter/mvp key system. see what they think.
