Quote from Lewandowski

I wanted to experience the real 1.0 classic Aion where you struggle for months with leveling and green/blue armor... Such a shame that we get the easy version.

And what exactly prevents you from struggling for months with green armor if you like that?

I´m pretty sure he meant that everyone would struggle in obtaining some decent gear.

I know, but so far he is the only one here asking for that. For my part I hate struggling for months in green armor, so its his problem and not mine/ours.....

I think I understand him. When we first played this game, we didn't feel struggling. The initial period was my best memory of this game, but unfortunately it won't happen again.

Absolutely agree

Quote from Moli

We all know that AION has no catch-up mechanism. Whenever a new version is launched, new players will fall far behind others. New players cannot join and AFK players cannot return. The population will be decreasing.

Serious question, have you ever played Aion?

Of course, I've been playing this game since 2009.

It should be a technical issue. Send them a mail, and if you are innocent, they will release you

Believe me. your suggestion is invalid.They won't listen to you, sigma vendors will never come.

The focus is not on the game version, but on the catch up mechanism. We all know that AION has no catch-up mechanism. Whenever a new version is launched, new players will fall far behind others. New players cannot join and AFK players cannot return. The population will be decreasing.

That was never rly that big of a deal in these patches.. No matter how "ahead" somebody is there is still an endgoal in sight and that is full pvp gear which is not impossible to obtain in a reasonable time even as a f2p player. So everybody can close that gap. Hell you can get 30ap gear for a week or two and still be able to fight against full e50 people..

This became a problem only in later patches when they started adding more equipment like plumes and wings and crap that had to be enchanted too, enchantable accs too, removing the +15 cap on items etc. There you can't catch up at all and the whales become immortal to you no matter how much you outplay them.. Same as current retail - complete unplayable clusternyerk. Old Aion was balanced.

Okay, if you spend 6 hours or more per day, you may be able to catch up. However, the truth is that when you haven't finished the PVP set yet, new versions and new PVP equipment arrive. Because you must have enough tokens to exchange equipment, and the amount of these tokens obtained per day is limited. These tokens are the advantage of the old player. Not to mention that this game requires multiple sets of equipment with different attributes, which is an additional cost. Believe me, the endpoint you mentioned is not within reach for new player.

The focus is not on the game version, but on the catch up mechanism. We all know that AION has no catch-up mechanism. Whenever a new version is launched, new players will fall far behind others. New players cannot join and AFK players cannot return. The population will be decreasing.

This is a contradictory topic, and when you play the classic version for a few months, you will get tired of it. However, for new players, everything happens too quickly and there is no suitable catch up mechanism, and new players will fall far behind others. I love AION, but it has to be said that its mechanism is too old. When we play WOW, we usually play for two years within a version. Patches only provide new gameplay instead of improving levels, and the later equipment is easier to obtain. The new players here are very friendly in WOW. And then AION cannot attract new players and will abandon old players.XD

Gameforge could license an anti-hack add on like Active Anticheat which would kill off most bots and hackers.

That's always defeated on day 1, the best action is an active GM going around.

Nah, you would need a team of GMs doing that to cover hackers and bots. Not cost effective, it's far better to use a technology solution.

They always have a way to bypass the detection. GM is necessary, and if they pay me, I can kick the robot's ass.lol.....

Hello all. Question for the author of the topic. I often stand at the site of a resource and watch a series or anime or something else, when it appears I collect and continue watching. Do I get videotaped and put into bots as well? Is that how it's supposed to work? From the outside I do look like a bot, do I really have to run and twitch? (I sometimes do, so as not to run into people like you). But where are the rules against standing still and passively gathering a resource? It bothers me.

The robot we are talking about is using a PC to simultaneously operate multiple characters (through virtual computers and scripts, without the need for manual operation)

I understand. But what worries me is that I might be mistaken for a bot, because I stand in one place and collect the same resource...oh, nevermind

They have an anti cheating program that will monitor your actions.If you operate it manually, that's okay.And they allow two clients to be opened at the same time. At least that's what I do in China

You should accept this price because if you are in China, you will need to pay approximately 13€

How to report, send, and use video recordings of robot software?

Forum and customer support are unable to send video recordings

there is a feature ingame /ReportAutoHunting - i have no idea if GF goes after that.

That feauture has been deprecated for the better part of a decade now and does exactly nothing. GF uses a manual report system via their support. Take a recording, upload it to youtube (unlisted) or any other video hosting site and paste the link into a ticket.

If the players are the ones, who have to take the initiative on stuff like this, i do see this getting even more of an issue...

Yes, GM should take the initiative to solve the robot problem

Why isn't there a unique forum for Classic? I'm bothered buy players of a different Game than Aion. What is what I play and what I come here for....not to read about drop rates in another game called classic. xD

The economic system of AION was originally poor, which is the designer's fault. They did not fundamentally solve this problem. Skill books and stigma should not have become the threshold (in World of Warcraft, I don't need to purchase skill books and can switch talents at will). Many things and even drops in dungeons are allowed to circulate in players' hands, leading to currency depreciation

Quote from Protecc

I don't understand how can you people be against having normal drops from ow mobs...

OG Aion you could go farm Calydons for 1h and you'd make like 10kk from selling white armors and weapons to the NPC. And that was a nice method of making money.

None of you explained where are manastones and enchant stones going to come from if you have -90% drops in ow.. Gone will be the days where you build different sets I guess because socketing a single one will take two years with the current economy..

"But what about muh bots" reducing the drop rate and messing up with everyone's ways of making kinah and bastaradizing the game isn't a solution worth implementing just to combat bots...
The solution for dealing with bots has and will always be better policing - give me one GM account and I'll remove all bots from the server in 2h. Hire a guy that does that every day and its done. Isn't Gameforge a multimillion dollar company after all? If you develop a way to hardware ban them it will be even easier. Siel also stops people from botting.. I don't understand how are bots such a big problem that its worth destroying the entire game economy just to deal with them. We played for YEARS with people botting and the world didn't end. In some aspects it even had benefits because there were low level items on the broker...

Someone explain to me how can you defend -90% drops nerf and why is it a good idea?

I don't think they have the ability to solve robot problems. My Chinese server is full of robots, while GM turns a blind eye. They only deal with banned cheaters and will also spend a lot of time. I think the game needs to improve its reporting function. But you know, for classic games, this is difficult.

How to buy it, when i can't log in to the game? That's stupid.

Quote from Zorach

My biggest gripe with the Classic is the fact that they are "heavily limiting" the farming capabilities of a F2P player.

I can somewhat go by restriction on less XP or no AP (since not much of a PvP type), and can also manage the restriction on Collecting or Kinnah gains from Farming (since Kinnah drops from mobs is generally no that much in Open World).

But the restriction on Looting Gear or items drops from Green-grade & above, is practically going to kill the game, as no F2P player would be able to do much after the 1 hour of gameplay, as it's just adding up to the playing cost (having to rely on Common-grade gears means, you have to use healing items more often even for high defense classes like Templar).

This also means that, post 1 hour of daily gameplay, if someone plays the game and a Stigma drops from a mob, a F2P player won't be able to farm it, as there is restriction on farming of Green-grade & above item.

Fully agree, paying monthly is worse than paying hourly. You will become increasingly backward compared to those paying users. [...]

And there are also various passes that you need to pay to purchase. I must say that the person who invented the pass is the devil
