Can you please consider increasing the drop rate permanently so I can just enjoy playing the game grinding a reasonable amount of time ? It used to be I grind for some item, pay Zeny for some item. Now using the market or even going to prontera gives me anxiety.

Drop rate increase please, the market is flooded with cash shop item not enough actual drops for the community. It’s becoming difficult to enjoy playing on the server. Zeny is worthless.

Just a suggestion but maybe I’m alone on this thought, and people just think I need to grind more?

I agree ☝️

The should double the drops that are lesser than 1%  and reduce the piece of cake prices to npc to 1/4 than the current price, and all items that bots are hunting to make zeny.

Grinding is annoying, As a returning player - I see both spawn rates and drop rates reduced. I can actually run a novice character from one end of Orc village to another without running into much orcs. In the initial days, there were a lot of bots but enough spawn for me to kill too. I could find clusters of orcs and level quickly with mag break. Now after several fly wing and walking - I find an occasional smoker.

I actually support this ^ Toy factory is the worst map in the game.

The spawns arent reduced. What happens is bots farm the whole map for several days and make some mobs spawn in tight spots. The more mobs they kill the more mobs spawn in those small spots.

The problem is they are programmed by default to teleport if 3 monsters or more are attacking them.

So they run into those spots and wing instantly, not killing them. Over time this can create spots with 50+ mobs where every bot will always teleport.

Examples of this: Bottom right spot of Ant Hell 1 (Warp to Ant Hell 2), Bottom Right Orc Village (cliff with only 1 way out), and a few more.

Believe me, there are far lesser bots today then there were back then. The whole map was flooded with bots. Now I run into 2-3 bots at best in Orc. I last played around the time the server started. The spawns are definitely lesser - across the board. Even on maps which never had bots.

The CONSTANT increased rates and the Jancember extension of Shining Poring certainly aided in spoiling everyone too..

 

While I wouldn't mind permament Jancember+Shining Poring rates locked into place, I don't really have any issues farming. But I did say everyone would be spoiled and then complaining once everything was decreased again...

i think, in a way, less bots can make it look like less spawns too as the bots keep constantly killing, mobs keep constantly spawning all over the map and that gives the illusion there are more mobs.

Spawns are reduced globally based on my experience with RO over the past 14 years or so

Ie Strouf is set to 5 . This used to be a lot higher. Like merman numbers

True, crowded maps have more mobs too. The spawn at Porcellio does feel great.
