What is the end game strategy for the adena low rate?

I'm trying to figure out the end game strategy of ncsoft on such a low adena drop rate.

1. To stop/punish botter. Which is kinda counter productive cause botter just bot more and legit player actually get punish.


2. To reduce the amount of adena ingame. Cause the server have too much adena curculating and they would like to reduce it to curb inflation on item. After awhile when the adena in server is reduced to an acceptable amount, they will increase it back. Assuming the server won't die first cause many rage quit.


3. To force more and more player to go for l2 classic. I'm not sure how is the adena drop rate in l2 classic, maybe it's higher or maybe it's worst or maybe it's the same.


4. They notice they make a huge mistake with too high adena drop in the first place. That's why they are correcting their mistake. This should be the correct adena drop and soulshot/spiritshot should only be exclusive to people who is rich enough. Shots should not be essential, but a luxury thing ingame. (if you play in c1 like me, yes, they are luxury during those time)


5. This one might be a huge controversial which i highly doubt will be true. It is to force everyone to rage quit l2 so they can just close down l2 forever. I'm just posting what i heard.
