Dear fellow gamers and NCSoft support & developers
It is with great sadness that I yet again remind you about the decrease in drops and spoils, gameplay etc..
This game is slowly being tampered with, bit by bit we lose things in Lineage II that actually made us play this game in the first place, and now that these things are slowly taken away, it leaves but a void of pixels and disappointment.
Drops / Spoils
Adena drops and item drops even from the highest of levels to the lowest in this game is at an all time low. There are no material drop or key material drop of note, unless you killed 10.000 mobs you might be a few metallic fibers.
A party in Nornil or the good old Execution grounds aka. GF you get an astounding 100-250 adena per party member.
Spoils from lv 1-84 are non-existent. I remember it used to be so nice to just go Enchanted Valley and spoil steel and EWC when grinding on ones main was too boring. At level 85+ the only place you can really spoil anything of note is Garden of Genesis.
Lowbie Raid bosses are back to their old selves, finally. Or are they? Nope there is definitely something wrong. Yes, there it is. Drops. Well I just solo'ed 7 raidbosses 38-43 and back in the old days they used to give all sorts of crap, which I happened to like. Designs, dyes, useless Nuclues of all shapes and sizes. Now the chance of getting anything is so low that it's kind of hard to see the point.
Walker, rangerz, autospam of potions and targeting systems seem to be more common now than not to use it, however, still illegal. What's the point?
Yes, I am sounding like a depressed elpy after you dropped the new and improved Talking island village right on top of my favourite carrot spot when GoD came, and I suppose I am. I am depressed, because a large number of my friends just migrated to Innova Core server for some bot free, ranger free, autotargeting free server action with xp and drop rates that match what we once had, before having to buy it in the Not-so-free-to-play L2store that, which once again, made this game the most expensive game I ever the had the pleasure of playing.
PKer and pk'ing
Once an epic addition to this ground breaking MMO, now slowly but securely the player killer option is being eradicated. There are so many restrictions now for PK'ers that it is becoming less and less attractive to do, even if it is quite necessary sometimes. You get karma, you can drop items if you have 4 PKs or more (not 5 and more now-recently changed). You cannot port. You cannot talk to shops unless in Floran. If you PK and die you lose 5 % xp, which cannot be regained by resurrection or BREZ. Quite unattractive to say the least. This gradual change in the PK'ing system will continue till no one uses it anymore. The hammer will hit, and the message will be; since no one uses it anymore, we at NCSoft has decide to remove it all together.
Where are the old cool high level spots for some endgame action? Hellbound and Hellfire? Hellbound the land where you might find the lowest rate of drops and spoils in this entire game. Where are the end game action.
All in all... once a good game... now a pale shadow of what once were.
If you have any respect whatsoever to the legacy of Lineage II stop destroying it. Stop making it an expensive l2store based game. It's not free-to-play if you can't get spoils/drops or even XP/SP unless you buy runes.
The Elpy just turned angry... not just depressed.
