This is probably a pointless topic but I think it should be addressed given the revealing of loot drops from certain MvP's. It's become glaringly obvious that we are getting copy pasted versions of this game directly
from foreign iRO servers (thaiRO, phRO) that have almost zero in common with our community. I also understand that there is a time-line and game-plan associated with our server that has most likely been laid out
even before server launch so I am not blaming our GM team for this. My only hope is that iRO has a say in what changes occur and that you take the liberty to use that freedom and make our server better. I feel
there is a large problem when a large majority of MvP cards do not drop in the game, even those that are not particularly useful or strong in any sense (Doppelganger, Stormy Knight, Moonlight Flower. The list
goes on). I question who is making these decisions and why you're following them blindly. When OCA was enabled and you guys received the drop list, I felt as if you were editing them appropriately, was this not
the case? It was changed several times which suggests you have the ability to do so. I don't see the reason for MvP's not dropping cards (with the exception of GTB) when they are already extremely rare and
almost always niche use. As a player who spends the majority of their time killing MvP's this comes off as incredibly disingenuous. I recall a post saying GTB card was removed when the reality was almost every
card is removed. You guys have gutted a very large portion of end-game content on a server that has little to none already.
This leads me to my second point:
With the current update schedule and transcendent classes being an unknown time away, I don't see this server even making it to that point. We don't have the player-base to sustain such a long time without
receiving any new content. Players get bored, they lose interest and they lose motivation, especially with the decisions and horrible bot problems. The sheer amount of bots (6k+) on the server have already
inflated our zeny to a point several times higher than that of phRO and thaiRO even though they have been out for much much longer. The addition of WoE boxes has removed a large zeny sink and item prices
have already started to reflect that, there is no reason to spend zeny on anything in game currently besides trading it to another player. If someone told me there was 100 billion zeny on the server already I
would believe them without question. What happens when we reach trans? I can only imagine that high tier mvp loots will cost several hundreds of millions of zeny. How does a new player even get a foot hold in
this server? The only redeeming quality this server has over classic is that we haven't discovered anyone duping yet. Please alter your time-line to accommodate the fact we are a North American server with a
2.5k player population.
The game is 15 years old, act like it.
