Make zulie a drop again.
Make food a drop again.
Raise all the NPC costs at higher levels with a scaling. by 200 repairs should cost 90% of the items NPC buy value. and more for uniques.
etc.

The idea of making a server without IM "boosts" would be neat. It would make things a little more fair I think. Along with getting rid of buff sets ( a lot of people wouldn't like that though ).

They don't update so much due to lack of economy with the minimum players there is.
And if they don't make money, how can they run the game?
I doubt people would stop buying IM by zullie drops and with the huge amount of zullie that there is already, there's no reason for it to drop lol.
I'd join a server without IM in it but I doubt they'll make it cause > IM = money.
Everything's about $$ hun.

It's unforunate for them sure, but buffsets are literally a bug. They'll be removed once they figure out a method to update stats every few seconds without taxing the client/CPU.
They already can do that.
The problem with a pure Item mall free server isn't that no one would play it, quite the opposite. Plenty of people would flock to it, but at the same time Gravity is digging a hole in their wallet because they lose potential income on players who may purchase item mall on Draconis or Leonis.
It's a bad business move sadly, even if it would be interesting.

As I'm a newcomer, I definitely agree for such a server, but from what I've seen all around the F2P mmo's World, Rose is one of those few games that still work quite perfectly and with an active an cool population.
Just pray that things keep being the way they are and I tell you, you could consider yourself happy !

As Phish said they can already do that, referring to the buffsets "bug". But that would make 70% of the players quit, and Rose dies.
Why is this always a defense mechanism for people who don't want something changed.
To hell with buffsets. It makes all classes an omni-class. What's the point in being a raider when you have buffsets on champs that give the same amount of dodge practically. Or being an arti with high acc when you could be a scout and have the same amount of acc with a buffset.
It ruins the character archetypes. And makes the whole point of choosing a class effectively pointless.
Also its not going to make people quit. If anything it'll make people level more characters of different types and builds for different purposes and give a greater variation of players and classes.
I only hope they implement the buffset fix at the same time as the update. Get the big deal out of the way all at once. So new players don't struggle through too much and old players have a new challenge. Tired of the same ROSE for 7 years.

BUT, first of all. Are you ok with the point of the server becoming PAY 2 PLAY. Again??
I would love it.

That is not true at all. I've never seen a scout or a raider running with 4.3k acc or a champ running with 3.6k dodge. The differences between classes' stats are still there even with buffsets.

I would gladly tell him about it myself but he probably wouldn't listen to me ("for a change")
As for this topic:
"Create A New Server That..." Stoooop. No need to read further, 2 servers is already too much. kthxbbtheend.

How did you know D:They read these topics FYI, Pretty sure Zurn,
Genesis, Leonis and Corvushave all read it at least once.
Don't think it will happen unless someone makes one heck of a big donation to Gravity on behalf of this and I still don't think it will happen.

Also I was referring to the fix of buff sets?
The new IM free server is clearly not something Gravity could support atm, which is what my comment of it being more then a pm convo with 1 CM.
So I'm left wondering which part of the convo I replied too was too expensive "makes one heck of a big donation" is lol.
Could you elaborate? Have the staff held a conversation about the buff sets and find it to cost money somehow.

I do think buffsets should be removed, not because you can alter your stats and differentiate from others (that is the good thing about them), but because they delay the 'group effort' that the game is moving towards, that and the inconvenience of it all. In the Game Arena you can't bring your own buffer in (in pvp modes atleast), so everyone should just buff up fast and head into battle, not take 3 times as long because they are switching gear to buff sets. Also, with changes to buffs themselves ( cleric buff nerf), and passive changes (normal statted gear doesn't apply to passives thus lowering player's stats overall), buffsets are getting weaker and having less of an impact, almost defeating the purpose of using them in the first place.
Anyway, I stated my thoughts on the original post,
I don't mean to derail this topic but, I had a different outlook in the past. I do think buffsets should be removed. Feuer the examples you give are so extreme and skewed to the point where they aren't even true anymore.
If you've ever pokemon buffsets are like EV training. Pokemon have general base stats that will grow in a set ratio, but you can

You would have to give them a Metric Crap Ton of money to be able to have that opened.

@Phish, not all raider get the dual wield dodge buff, and a crit raider ditches some dex + dodge for the build, You can get the same dodge from that raider build [assuming they're using chiv's] with a champ in a dodge set. I didn't say they're fighting appropriately either, I simply stated that at any regard, a champ no matter the circumstances should never be able to match a raiders dodge, even at it's weakest [lvl to lvl comparison]. You're assuming I'm talking about 2 people who are both decked out to the gills for the same stat, which isn't what I meant at all. I understand you think I'm being un-realistic, but you're not viewing it the same way I do is the only reason you think so. Not trying to direct the majority of this reply to you either, it is still in general for the most part.
As for a scout getting 4k acc. I see a scout buff setting in gear like glor for dodge, then switching to an acc set. There are some pieces out there,
the Ikaness backpack with 63 acc + 75 acc.
Head pieces at 200 are 83 acc + 75 acc.
Balanced with 10x-11x acc + acc gem 20&5%.
Lava sets with 45? + 75 acc full set + bonus. 135 + 225 [without bonus set] or 45 +20&5% with gem. [without bonus set]
just those three pieces together give a base scout of 1.6k acc to 2510, that's not using a chest w/ acc gem, gloves shoes mask or buff. If I had to assume a fully decked acc scout could reach the 4k range. same as a dealer. This, essentially, makes them a bourge/arti when fighting another raider/scout. So why bother making a bourge/arti for the acc against a dodge class, when you can get the near [within 90%] same with an acc scout.. ?
I can find the gears and crunch the numbers if you want exact data. but to me, being that close at all, is what makes picking a class nearly pointless in terms of statistic advantage. It only becomes about funding and skill set / weapon you want.

Well Zurn and Corvus are not developers and Genesis is already against buffsets so Leonis is the only one left we can speak toTo have them removed? That's more of a conversation for the entire staff not a single CM. And I'm not about to perform a conference call just to say "hey guys, it's about time you did this you know". Lol They read these topics FYI, Pretty sure Zurn, Genesis, Leonis and Corvus have all read it at least once.
(and to me, trying to convince him is sometimes like talking to a wall)
