Make it more balanced? Start by replacing the old siege buff for the losing faction with the new one in Katalam (old one at max is worse than new one at 5 out of 9) and extend its range to be global in the siege area to prevent the spawn trapping currently happening.
Then introduce a similar system for the major events in Aphsaranta (Agent, Adad, Rahmu Commander) to give the Elyos an incentive to fight, rest sorts itself out. Right now, people are switching to Asmo because it's easier to get stuff, so if there's something that equalizes the gains of both factions, the factions should become more balanced automatically over time.
I find that hard to imagine, you can just move to Taha a PVE heaven for elys with weak asmos.
Taha? We are talking about the real AION (live-version)
As an Elyos there the game is close to unplayable, due to imbalance
Ah sorry my bad then haha it was in general and Atrei elys like to whine, so live-elys are that few?
Well makes sense ChillOut/ex-NOIA/SmallGods and big ely legions/whales moved to classic - I see a lot of familiar names and legions. I wouldn't call it imbalance, its just simply dead - that's why above legions moved on.
Btw maybe OP did dunno but the guy I quoted talked about Atrei and classic he mentions old buff inferior to higher patches buff 4.x +. Elys got rekt recently on Atrei too 3 Balaurea forts are asmo/blue, they nearly were locked out of SC. Yea and Drestam mentioned Live faction blocking in old times maybe you are right. Xd
A total mess this forum is btw.
