    fiqsik - if we had real drops from mobs (world and instances) i would agree with you, BUT i`ve started playing about 2 months ago and if it weren`t for those events i would have quit long ago. I`ve had 0 gold drops, maybe 2-3 blue drops (other than bosses) and i belive 1 manastone. How do you expect a new player to gear up decent enough not to get 1 shot from mobs to be able to do instances, or to get 1 shot from other players in ABG or GBG. The true work is getting pvp gear and these events from my point of view had no real effect.

    like all ppl do 40 lvl steel rake > 55 lvl taco for free from arena or mithril coin set depends what class u play.. and do like 99% of ppl doing buy pack of aion coins - sell aion coins 100k aeach and u have kinahs to start playing first 2-3 months easy. ..

    last 2 months we had so many events for everything (exept) balaurs mats. Ppl who started playing 2 months ago got already weapon +10 or even +12-13. armor set +10 or more. Its way too much events and free high lvl items. Soon u will push button play and u will have on start full set weapon lvl on 10..cmon its a mmo..u cant have all fast for free..

    lol ..u are for real? they doing events because they cant find solution for bots in game. if u remember old aion classic eu, we had better drops in open world.. Now most of items u need u have in passes standard or events...

    Next fact: i play long time, and ppl who started play 2months ago have the same items as me..because we have so many events for almost doing nothing with great rewards..enchants 91-100, dailys weeklys event coins shugo event and many many more. Easly in last 2 months u can collect over 300 top lvl manastones, over 150 enchants 81-100..

    wrong mobs?every mob in apheta beluslan should drop atleast manastones.Did you watch the stream?i dont care about crafting and shop items.Some players like to grind mobs.

    with basic mobs u have very very very low chance but it is.

    if u kill 'higher' lvl mobs in ranking like assains- u have way more better and 100% drop (usually 1 green manastone, 2x white 1x balic), if u go more higher in ranking =named mobs u have soul fury always, painting and sometimes stigma :)

    Drop is awful.After killing over 50 mobs i got nothing. 0 manastones,0 enchantment stones.....

    because u killing wrong mobs. try to find named mobs or assasins .. if u cant find focus on gathering, in shop u have promo now, +in next week 200% boost to gathering (learn) so total 300% easy way to farm apheta sources

    Consumables from events are supposed to support a character individually. Selling such stuff would also harm the economy.


    thats why in event with fire dragon skin we had milions of lustrus balaur meat which is not f..d up economy on cooking :) logic 0, when we had event with manastones and on left side was 3 chest with enchantes 81-95 its not f..d up economy? stones from 1.4k k that time dropped to 700k bc all bots did alts over and over. logic 0

    Now Iam frustrated to, after 115 x crt 15 stones failed now 110 Attack 5 stones failed on this 60% eternal shit 1stone 1,5kk, Iam out idiotic system only for p2w people they can buy Millions of Kinah have fun.

    In One year only p2w nabs can play this shit System.

    ha ha ha. thats why use crit 14 and attack 3.. when u have extra kinahs buy 5-10x top stones, and enchant one by 1 removing old stones..i never use top stones and trying to socket all items, 60 even 70% rate is big joke:)

    well na had 2.8 tempus - we had 2.7.

    NA had later also e40 from dred. NA also had later e50 from pass...so i dont know how its works what GF can do what they cant.

    well i see 2 reasons.

    1. tree loot sellers - ppl making more and more alts to farm easy kinahs.

    2. easy ap. -

    in 3.0 e55 will be crap u can have for only azure medals, in 3.0 price for eternals pvp gear will be reduced, also (platinums are tradeable) so ppl will have tons of tons medals daily weekly, but now stoping them only amount of AP.


    we have sets gbg, we have cavalier , in 3.0 u have new set admiral.. they costs bilions of AP, and gf dont want to equip ppl too fast for free.. I bet they put ebony medals to pass, new mithril medals also to pass, its about money..

    last time i spent more than 150 manstones mr +12|14 to socket 55 ap et shield. So, i dont imagine how p2w are ppl with full ap et sets.

    lets say average to socket 5 items u need around 50 stones. 5x 50=250 manastone.

    1 mana stone magic acu magic boost mred costs atreia around 1.2kk . 250x1.2k=300kk kinahs.

    From where we can have that amount money kinhs..Padmarasha drop nothing, Tiamat very randomly , not all stigmas are good profitable, BT? no way how long we can farm bt , we already farming that instance over 6-7 months or more..


    we miss normal drop balaur mats, we miss normal drop manastones, we miss any drop from mobs

    Forget it!!! They wont do it, because they have to fight the bots. For me, that's the biggest excuse ...


    In retail we had a good droprate, doesnt matter if open world or instanz, but now...

    u cant compare retail vs classic - classic should be more hardcore. But i agree something with drops is not ok.

    I Did over 80 padmarashka runs . In my pt we had 2, 2 drops . 1 was dirk, 1 was worst sword...

    and we had around 3-4 drops armors (almost impossible to sell even for 10kk).

    I remember not long ago i did 3-4 runs on BT i had 0 drops, - total in our grps we had 2 gold items.

    week later we had in 1 run 3 eternal drops..its way big RNG


    im pretty sure u can manipulate with % w/o asking NCSoft to make special events for u, so think what u are doing with game..

    If u fail - like ncsoft fail with NA, what u gonna do.


    u can say we have plans 2.8 2.8.5 3.0 ..But u cant forget soon will start Throne liberty and many ppl might try that game - if they like it, they will stay there not in old aion with anti friendly play style (0 drops) (0 kinahs)

    I don't play classic, but i am curious.


    Guys, what's your incentive for leveling crafts knowing they will (probably) get deleted in future patches? You sell stuff or what?

    on classic we have drops nerfed from instances:P from open world .. So chance to make some kinahs is crafting . Cooking alchemy - its most popular .. Handicraft weaponsmith is not so popular bc hiting till 500 cost u average 300-600kk .

    + u need big lucks on crits ...if u add to it gathering or picking aether - u can have daily around 4-7kk free kinahs

    ok time to update..

    U did now event with boost 150% gathering /crafting - very good - 1 time per year is acceptable.

    But u forgot to add some event where balaurs mats are drop.


    we had , we have shugo event but there are nothing drop almost -single item on higher lvl chest.

    before maintenance

    firm scale cost - 290k - after maintenance 400

    firm horn cost 380- now 480. ..yay we have event craft boost, but we will pay 20-30- or 40% more for balaurs mats needed to push between 450-500:)
