Just wonder if WP/Studio really understand why IRO can promote financial income in 2nd quarter,2023, why people still play this server whose contents are pulled behind a lot by other RO servers. Regardless of the dupe issue, we only talking about the 10+ new refining system.
Old Refining System, HD Ore-based refining: small profits but quick turnover. Cheap for players and higher profits for WP/Studio, win-win
1. HD Ore-based refining with IRO distinguishing cash item Kachua Brad/Carn box, which gives free Kachua Keys, encourages people to try higher upgrade. From I know, people even can try +16 Armor/level 4 weapon or +20 level 1 weapon, for example, Level 1 weapon Full Force, that's one of the most significant income for WP in 2nd quarter,2023
2. HD Ore-based refining, provide higher online rate, because people need to try for a long time to refine +14/15 or even higher. For myself, I was refining for a whole day as usual during old refining event, just refining.
3. 10-11 100% success rate: makes normal Brad/Carn, good way for farmers to earn.
4. 10 will never downgrad to 9 if using HD Brad/Carn, that's the feature of HD Brad/Carn.
New Refining System, BSB-based refining: so-called higher profit on surface, but lower deeply in total. Expensive for players and lower profits for WP/Studio, lose-lose
1. BSB is only byproduct of OCP, using BSB will not promote the income from OCP boxes but losing a lot income from selling Kachua Brad/Carn Boxes.
2. BSB-based refining, for +10 to +14 BSB consuming is about 300-400 in average, which means the refining cost is at least 5 times more than HD Ore-based refining. And for +15 or higher, it will be more.
3. BSB-based refining is too fast to keep people in refining room. Just clicking for 5 mins to +14, no matter success or not.
4.10-11 20% success rate and 10 will downgrad to 9: normal Brad/Carn useless now, nobody farms them anymore.
IRO doesn't have any contents that has to use very high upgraded gears. The reason why people refine those +13 ~ +20 gears in the past is that they looked like not out of reach, they were cheap for a single player, they were what we can't reach in other RO server, they were the feature of IRO.
For now, we lie down under this new refining system. people stop at +12 or even +10, they don't need to try more because +10 is strong enough for the IRO PVE contents.
I know level 5 Weapon and level 2 Armor need to have a new refining system but, it shouldn't influence the old refining system for Level 1-4 Weapon and Level 1Armor.
Rolling back the refining system, before too much loss is irreversible.
