a great deal of players seem to be under the believe that GF have to pay for any change they want sorry I don't think you are correct or has that been confirmed anywhere?
That's B2B area.

If they had to pay for changes they wanted we would have KR version full blown with no changes at all, including all events. I believe GF has a great deal more say then any of you think.
The issue is not that what GF can ask or not, it is if GF want to ask and pay for.
I see no debate on that.

Well the way our events are run most of the time they are worse then KR and a way lot greater RNG then KR.
In KR, they all cashshops (low price = mandatory). Obvious that rewards will be above that they buy.

If you are saying GF has nothing to do with how things are run and has to pay for everything your are kidding yourself. (As Galeas said yesterday it was there choice to have it this way)
Putting extractors in gold sand have no impact to monetization and does not represent a high load of development of integration. Putting a restoration stone 1 per will affect shop stones sales. Obvious business POV. GF didnt want to, so didnt ask to.
I see no debate here. You are deceived, I'm just "as usual".

If NCsoft wants to make money if changes are wanted and they did not give them changes they would lose more and more money due to you may say they don't know there business but I am telling you they do and ncsoft would not like to lose money by not making said change they know western players are not the same as KR players something GF does not want to know about.
You talk as if Aion was NC best seller.

Breakdown per game : Aion is clearly the less profitable
Breakdown per region : NCSoft main revenu is in KR. NA/EU income does not represent a tenth of KR income.
GF a portfolio of many games. Just go see their website.

But NCsoft I am damm sure takes feedback from GF about how things are running after all NCsoft would still be getting a cut on profits from GF running this game. NCsoft still owns it, it's just not being run by them in EU and I am damm sure if they wanted NCsoft could still pull the contract from GF if they wanted to do so. No company would agree a contract without that in it when they out right own the game.
NC left EU because of lack of profit. GF is renting Aion to NC = income for NC.
No GF, no income but they dont care, since they first planned to abandon EU.
I'm not defending GF. You people have an ideal. I'm just saying, from a business POV, it's unlikely to happen.
You blame GF for current state. I just say, it's obvious.
You have expectations and are deceived. I'm just like "I dont expect something, coze there's nothing to expect".
GF do a good thing, you are just happy at best, I'm just like "where's the catch".
