Those ''bots'' are not selling the florins they farm, those are bots to support and pay the initial boost of the ''experienced players'', thats why there is not many anymore, because they already are ''there'' on the spot farming hard mobs, they dont have the need to use bots anymore, they can already sell the overpriced items. The whole reason of the bots its to just push the ''initial steps'' of ''experienced players'' so they can be ahead and sell overpriced items. Thats why also florins priced drop, etc etc

More easy explanation, let put the example there is only 2 players, player A and player B 1-Player A spend 100€ on cash shop and get super ahead day 1 so it can drop the item that Player B buy for 100k florin he farmed playing normaly. 2-Player A now use that 100k florin to be strong and push to harder mobs to loot items, sell maybe x2 or x3 items more for 100k florin. 3-Player A now have 200k florin and is strong, player B is weak and have no florin. 4-Player B see on market one item that is very good for him that cost 200k, Player B buy 200k florin to Player A 5-Player A now have 200k florin back and real money on pocket, Player B have no florin and still weaker. 6-Player B see on market one item that is very good for him that cost 200k, Player B buy 200k florin to Player A 7-Player A now have 200k florin back and even more real money on pocket, Player B have no florin and still weaker. 8-Repeat There is also Player C that acts like Player A but instead of selling florins, make his character even stronger with that florins. And there u go, thats the whole economy of this game.

And there is where the cash shop and p2w comes in play, abusing cash shop consumables will allow u to be that step ahead needed in order to be on the right tier in time, so you are in the ''good loot/price'' range of the market and not behind, this is a race mmo and cash shop is huge boost on that race.

If you think that having people way ahead farming loot of end game that fast and selling those on the market for the rest is a good thing for the people that buy it, then you need to rethink it again dude, everyone that buys items that they cant manage to drop they just feeding florins to the guys that are selling those, not the oposite, the people that are getting boosted are the ones who actualy make florin out of items of loot ahead of others, making them stronger than what they already are so they can defeat even stronger mobs and sell even better stuff for even more florin. Meanwhile the people buying those items have no florins at all and just have few stuff that hardly pays out the loot they can afford to farm because the areas they farming are already on low price on the market, once they can step up, prices of those items will then already drop again, so they buy florins to be able to buy more items to the actual player that sell the items, this is the truth dude. Also just so u know, 90% of the gold sellers are actual players that make florins the legit way, yes you are reading this right, they farm florins the legit way, its the people undergeared that buy the items on the market who actualy make them win the money, it works like this: Exp hardcore player rush day 1 to get loot that is overpriced on market > sell it overpriced on market cuz early > with that florin makes his char even more stronger > move to next area that will then already drop items of +300k > sell florins to players that will use that florins to buy his own items overpriced on market > repeat

In my opinion, if this game die (and it will really quick) its because as free to play player you are unable to properly play the game in order to compete, simple as that. You are forced to spend money in order to make your efforts ingame be worth something, when you are in the end-game, your routine is basicaly resume to buy tons of potions and move to the spot to farm and hope for a drop that pay out the potions plus extra to gear up, thats it, thats all about it. First of all, if you dont have the memory teleport bracelet witch allow u to teleport to anywhere you want, you have to move to the grind spot spending alot of time AND gold, because meanwhile you going to the place you also getting hit by mobs and you spending pots there too. Secondly, the speed and effectiveness of your kills are hugely reduce, this means that you cant aim for the best spots you could with your gear without the consumables, you need to downgrade the spot and go to a less hard mobs because you cant handle the same as with cash shop consumables you could. Everything goes down, slower, worse, overtime the difference between free to play and spending money is huge, and this is only the begining, we are not even on the situation where enchanting comes in the play, because currently there is no cash shop still for that purpose, but it will just like the chinese and korean version, u can be sure about it. In short, what kill the game is the p2w, end of story.

This is a korean game, developed by koreans and mainly played by koreans, there is other games out there with pretty much the same features as this one in the korean market, damage text display is one of the characteristic, without hp bar on mobs was another of those (later added on this version) the lack of information regarding your attack/perfomance vs the enemy is one of the key elements of this kind of mmo's that adds the unknown, the interest is keep and motivation too. It doents make that obvious when someone outperform, so everyone keep their hope and motivation to keep playing, this is one of the keys on the korean market for people not to quit the game, this kind of mmo's are considered a race, when you are obviously behind and you know you never gonna win, you lose the motivation, stop spending money and just quit the game, you dont keep playing. Because of this they hide in some way the information that makes too obvious whos in the head in the game, you can still see the ranks, but the idea is for you to keep thinking that you still can defeat them because you are not aware of the huge difference there is. Regarding bots, there is nothing that can be done, this is common on this mmo's because of the basic desing of the game, if the rewards are given once you kill endless mobs, so there is gonna be bots no matter what, it doents matter if you could have a tool that instaban then once every 2hours, because in that time they could make enough to consider it to be worth and they will keep going with it, thats it. The problem is not the bot itself, the problem is the player that buy the gold, thats the problem, if they could ban the people that obviously buy gold, the problem would end, but they will never succed on this because there is always one way or another to transfer gold without being too obvious a purchase. So the only solution would be to limit the earnings of grind, but then it will literaly kill the game because thats the core of the game itself. About the agro of paladin, well, to be honest, this game has no balance at all in the way we are used to see other mmo's balance, this game does not have the classes balanced for you to be able to play them with similar purposes, what i mean is that you dont pick ''tank'' because you want to ''tank or be the one in the front line'' you dont pick ''dps'' because you want to be ''reasons'' On this game the classes perform with unknown balance or reason, i dont know if they are just not balanced because of poor desing (most probably) or because they serve a purpose behind all, witch im not able to see. What we have there is: -Sorcerer, Warlock and Archer range classes that outperform in 95% of the situations to the other 2 mele clases, Paladin and Warrior. -Sorcerer, Warlock are autosuficient to endless farm without the need to use consumables at the early-mid game. -Sorcerer, Warlock have also aoe skills at early levels that will let you progress faster than others at the early-mid game. -Paladin and Warrior dont have skills to actualy do damage to the enemys, so they basicaly just do autoattacks untill mid-end game. In top of this, you need to understand how this game works, here the ''max hp'' or ''defense'' in pve means nothing, it doents matter if you have 10k hp or if you have 1k hp, if you take 1dmg you have to restore 1hp. Lets put an example so you understand what im talking about. Case 1, Paladin, you have 1000hp and take 20 dmg per hit, you take 10 hits to kill the enemy, you lost 200hp that equals to 10 potions. Case 2, Sorcerer, you have 300hp and take 40 dmg per hit, you take 2 hits to kill the enemy, you lost 80hp that equals to 4 potions. In this example, you can clearly see Sorcerer is much better than Paladin, take in consideration that potions have 1sec cooldown, so its not about who is able to survive longer either, because that would only mean who run out of potions first, with this what i mean is that ''tanking'' is just holding the potion button and burn the hell out of it, thats it, thats what ''tanking'' means on this game, you took the agro and you hold the potion button untill you run out and die or someone take your agro, why the hell would you want to tank then, and tank what, there is nothing to tank, on this mmo the only boses that are in the world most of the times are not even worth the potions you use to kill them, specialy if your gear is low.

You need to know that any player that invested cash to the game is already whitelisted, im not sure if most of you are aware but coreans are the biggest and better costumers for this game/company, they are loyal to the game and they will stick with it for longer than any other player profile, they spend alot of money in a regular basis. So yeah, pretty obvious thing, you just have to see the coreans stream, burning all the cash shop consumables 24/7 Its public, everyone can see it, they stream the whole day everything they do, you can see it, its not like you feel it on the impact of the market or because they pk you on world bosses or because they have control of certain areas to grind, no, you can literaly sit and watch how they do it, how much they spend, even more funny how they conect to the server masking the ip. But you know what ? none of you have rights to complain about this, they are players just like any of you, they do stuff you could do, they are not special nor have any privilege, they just are experienced that invest money into the game and make it alive at the same time.

The main reason why i also mention archer is because its the best for pk 1vs1, its also range and has the best dmg to farm at high defense areas, if you are hardcore player that spend alot of money ingame and you like to pk people arround, archer is the best option by far. If you normal/casual player (means you dont play 14h a day) and you just started this game, sorcerer is the best class by far because it have hp and mp regen skills on low leve that will let you farm without investing money in low defense areas, it have the best aoe dmg skill in the game that will let you farm really fast on low defense mobs area, so it will make you grow faster at the begining, later on this is no longer that usefull (lv45+) If you are in the same situation as sorcerer but you dont really like that much, you can go warlock, its close to it with different playstyle. Thats it, thats all the options, if you go paladin, as i previously said, you will quit the game once you realize how bad it is, and by then it will be too late for new character, you just will quit. If you go warrior, it will only suits you if you are hardcore player and also spend alot of money ingame, warrior is good class with max gear and max level and stuff, but untill that is just poor shiet that can only autoattack, close range and have no buffs.

This game is 95% grind, 4%pk and 1% siege, thats all about it, the mid-end game is based on investing ingame resources to buy potions in order to be able to grind in hard mobs area for a chance of better loot in order to be able to gear up even faster than getting loot on regular areas, all the progress is based on grind. All u gonna do is get to level 25 with quests and daily quest, and begin the endless grind, thats it. Ill suggest you to play sorcerer, warlock or archer in this order, if you play paladin you will quit very quick due to unbalance, if you play warrior you will end up on the same situation unless you are hardcore and actualy manage to get to max level or gear up spending real money. Good luck, i really wish someone told me this 3 lines before i started this game.

Yeah pretty sure its because of sending the same message over in the world chat, the system that automatically detects and ban the spamers have that function, it checks the message and ban the ones that repeat the same, thats why some spammers add random letters at the end of the spam, so the system dont detect them as spam that quick.

Its not considered penalty but splitting the experience between the party members instead, it makes sense to me, this is happening in almost every single mmo out there.

What i mean is that the quest reward (the purpose of that quest) is a Cloak that is worth 20k on the market (players market, aka consignment store)

Dont worry about it, it just gives a Cloak woth 20k on the market, nothing else.

To begin with, all the classes should have this 3 skills: There is absolutely no reason why not give this skills to all the classes, and this would be only the beggining, if we go deep into the issue we could end up with a completely remastered classes to play properly.

I would like to know if there is any command ingame to check the current ping you have, for example if there is anything like /ping or something like that in order to check the current delay of the conexion to the server. Thank you.

The problem is that if you are using any software like Batleping/Wtfast/etc, it will show the server you are conected to, not the actual gameserver, thats why im asking if there is any way to check the ping ingame, so i can properly setup my conection to the server, because im not sure if its because of the server perfomance itself or what, but there is constant lagspikes. Im playing from Europe too, my ping its from 90 to 110 at best depending of the server im conected to, but as i previously said, there is regular lagspikes that can be seen every few seconds, it feels like if there was 500-600ms spikes, you cant notice this if you playing warrior or paladin because autoattacks keep going anyway, you only notice this when you actualy spam skills with another class, you can clearly see how the character stops attacking for a few miliseconds then starts again, it shows even more clearly if you hold the movement button because that lag spikes even allow the character to move, while with normal low latency the character stays on the spot using skills. This is very anoying, if im unable to properly play the clases i like due to balance issues and also im not able to properly play the clases that perform the best because of the latency/ping, im just gonna give up on this game.

Yeah the classes are very very unbalanced, its not like missing a slightly rework or some tweaks, no, its completely broken unbalanced, like for real it needs urgent fix. Damage balance is the first issue by far, but also skill availavility too, its like some classes are not even finished or not intended for you to play, how it is that posible that you dont even have to use skills to perform the best, how its posible that using autoattack you doing more dmg than using skills, whats the point of having skills that do less damage than leaving your character hit auto, this is a copletely nonsense.

The class balance is clearly bad, not only in the meaning of skills but also in stats and equipment too, certain class are obviously in a better situation in most scenarios whitout the lack of perfomance on the others, thats why they are overpopulated, ranged skills, mp/hp regen, high dmg, they also dont have bad max hp nor bad defense to perform, its just not balanced at all, simple and easy not balanced. Sorcerer, Warlock, Archer, easy broken classes in that order, overall.

-Increase the amount of items available to list at once in the Consignment Store (Players Market), it will increase the player activity on the market with more and better prices for everyone, this game have huge amount of items, materials, consumables, etc, the current limit is just too low, its making the economy of the server look really bad and not healthy at all, increase the amount of items that you can list at once so players can actualy properly sell what they dont need in order to buy what they need, encourage the player trading ativity. -Fix the filters on the game, everything that have something to be filtered is not working, it only works if you write the exact name, for example if you write +0 Chain Shield, it will not show anything, even if there is the suggestion that shows up with that name, it doents work, you have to write Chain Shield only for it to be shown, also if you select on the menu, weapon, armor or whatever, it will just do nothing, im pretty sure its know issue, but anyway ill leave it here. -Increase the drop rate slighly for the basic consumables and materials, keep the same drop rate for amors/weapons/accesories etc, currently the drop rate for materials is that low that most of the items are not worth to craft, they are cheaper to just buy the piece itself because of the drop rate of materials its too low, to fix that you have to increase the materials drop rate, if you decrease the drop rate of weapons/armors/accesories instead, then it will be better to just buy them on the npc, so please be carefull with this and increase slighly the drop rate of the materials, it doents need to be huge boost, just a litle more to compensate the current prices of the materials on the market, you are still in time to do this. -Add damage display, instead of ''HIT'' or ''CRITICAL'' make it actualy show the number of damage dealt, there is no logic for it to not be display, we can figure it out what is the damage we currently doing, so please add this feature, it only improves the game experience and brings nothing bad. -Add hp display on player targets and the amount of hp they have, also on monsters, we can figure this out, so just make it display, same as with the damage display, we can figure this out too, so please add this feature so we can see it without the need to test and checks. -Add profile character stats, like seriously, we have alot of stats that are nowhere, attack values, movement speed, attack speed, hp/mp regen etc, those are important values that should be somewhere to be seen for the players, same as above... -Balance and Cash Shop suggestions will be added soon.

Oviously the players who dont play in group dont care about this because they still didnt face the issues yet, but trust me that if you play in group fighting the same mobs, you really get to hate this broken feature, you just are being blocked and freezed with stuttering unable to reach your target nor hit the objective constantly every single time you cross path with any of the members of the group. Maybe another posible way to partialy fix this would be to deactivated the bodyblock of the party members, i dont know man there is many ways to fix this, they should do something.

I cant really think of any situation where the bobyblock can have a positive impact over the gameplay, while i can easily tell you a list of stuff that is making the gameplay worse for everyone, specialy close range skills/class on the current state. The biggest problem of the bodyblock is the current state of it, is not working properly, it is very poorly implemented, as a concept iself maybe it can have sense in specific situations on batles of many people and stuff, but in truth ingame we just facing issues in a daily basis. If the only good ''positive'' reasons to have bodyblock are in ''siege'' or big batles, maybe they should leave the bodyblock only active in that areas/times and leave the rest with the bodyblock deactivated to avoid the massive list of issues that we currently have.

It is pretty obvious that for him getting mod or any other special title/promotion is just his own personal achievement, just like the guide he copy-pasted, he just did that to get credit out of it, hes literaly farming views and votes, no jokes, thats what hes aiming for, he even said that on world chat, thats why people hate on him, because he dont care about others at all, hes just motivated with the selfish purpose of getting on special place to feel more than a random player, because thats what he is, currently hes a random player and not even a good one.

Im gonna keep updating this post with ideas and suggestions also from other players in other threads that i consider worth to make them even more visible if for any chance any staff member gets to read any of this. -Disable character bodyblock in the fields, just like on cities you can walk and move without having the issue to be stuck, this not only makes the gameplay worse for everyone, it also adds huge advantage to range skills overall, leaving in huge disadvantage to the clases that are forced to move close to the target AND find spot for his own character in order to be able to use the skills. Take in consideration also that with the huge delay of the players and server perfomance overall, when you get to face any character, it starts to stutter, your character is dsync and not moving/responding properly, its just a mess, disable this asap. If the idea of having this blodyblock is core of the game, then fix it and make it work properly as it should, because everytime you get someone in the way, your character gets pretty much freeze in the spot, make it in a way that if you bodyblock someone atleast your character slides next to the target if you keep the input to move foward, not completely block and stuck, make it atleast that the character slides trying to reach the original direction you aiming for to one side or the other depending of your position. -Add the ingame option setting to disable click to move. -On the radar, the arrow point to the direction of where the character is facing, it should point the direction of the camera instead in my opinion. -Adding one additional tab on the quest log to show the available quest that you currently can take but you still didnt would be really good, since all u have is that ugly pop up in the midle of the screen when the quest is available, if you close it you have nothing but the icon on the map that you can easily miss, im pretty sure most of the people actualy happen to waste time staring at map looking for the icon quest, witch btw that map is really bad and some areas you cant even figure out if there is a road or not untill you actualy are there, its missing an actual area display where u can walk and be there with your character, that should be the actual map, not that low resolution top view of the fisical map. -Remove player social interactions from system chat, like for real that spam on system chat makes no sense, just move it to general chat and leave system chat for system stuff. -Consignment store, yeah it doents record the sales and the button search on the inventory tab should be called collect, also the words ''enchant rate'' on the search tab are overlaping the slot to write the numbers, in my opinion that should be called Auction House or Trade Broker or anything usualy called on other mmos but consignment store ? no way. When u are about to register an item holding shift, first it ask you for the amount of items you want to register, in that moment if you press enter it should go to the next value witch is the price, then pressing again enter it should then ask you the confirmation that finaly pressing enter again it should be registered, currently is not doing anything of that, you have to manualy click on the buttons to make it happen, lets be a bit clean and do things right and fix that. -Add to the mayor cities all the buffs of the players in npc's for a fair price, just like the first npc that gives haste, but with all the other buffs too.

I think thats working as intended, i can see a few issues if you were able to cancel the animation of your attacks in order to move, like for example easy kite in pvp, you would be able then to attack/cancel/move too quick and then it would be pretty much imposible to counter that.

Like this the whole day.
