my suggestions-- also, if anyone doesnt agree, i dont care lol. dont bother trying to argue or debate w me.
bring back the old questline and gearing system, where it required you to do dungeons for the wep and side quests. this will revive the old areas as players will spend more time there and more time to learn their classes. as well as allow more player interaction, this is an MMO but it looks like a ghost town. and YES i KNOW, nothing stops new players from doing the old dungeons anyways, but we all know if they ask in faction chat for help in a dungeon theyre told "just do the yellow quest". like, fine, if the old questline wouldnt be reimplemented(this is fine, bc alt friendliness is SO important--it's not but whatever) at least re-add the old weapon so players arent so confused when they get the new gear. 'dark or light?' is asked so often in faction chat, it's sad. (is this 'pirate or siren? revived)
remove trove, "it makes them money" WELL point 3 can help them w that. also the fact players still buy gold from f9 with ncoin. people buying gold wont stop bc we love gold nerfs!(we dont, please stop nerfing gold and then adding items that need a lot of gold)
get these ugly ass outfits out of f10, people who wanted them, got them. put in new outfits(not actually new, just not in f10 rotation for long enough) or for ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤s sake, just put an rng box with every single hm store cosmetic in it that can be salvaged for designer thread or chromatic thread to exchange for cosmetics at the clothing merchant if youre so pressed for that $$
remove designer thread, waste of inventory space, just let us buy the rng boxes at the merchant w chromatic thread
the ideal raid loot system is msp, dont @ me. we all know it's true, everyone gets the loot box and everyone is happy(except when they crash), this is also allowing EVERY player to gear, which means content can be progressed quicker and people will have gear--which means no more complaints of gatekeeping! like, i appreciate the BT accs at moon refuge, i can yeet them to my alt, and the BOA badge/mat/neck boxes in VT i can yeet to my alts too. but im not playing them that way(i can go on a tangent abt this but itll get off-topic).
optimization
fix your clients. why does 32 bit crash so much? why does 64 bit feel so slow. (if youve used both before, you probably know what i mean)
remove this difference between hongmoon gems and then just gems. it's dumb, and a waste of inventory space bc they cant be mailed to alts. idk why they decided to do this? so we cant salvage for gem powders??? why are gem powders rare? it's for gems, that everyone has, make it make sense.
did i mention optimization
people really underestimate the cosmetic community and have this weird sense of a certain amount of gear must be done to complete content that was done w way less gear. so, to say '❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ you' to the community(we know you love to do that ncsoft), just let everyone be able to gear. and not through trove, it was cool and shiny and new at first but at this point, people only trove for cosmetics or to "catch up" or it's a little extra push. and let's be real, no one is troving for jackshit anymore after the constant player cucking(and everyone has significantly less gold to buy things).
also adding this in, for anyone who is still bothering to read this, alts should be played as a new possible main because youre interested in the class. theyre not supposed to be event slaves or extra income. bns is one of the first games ive saw where people actively play 3+ characters just to support 1 if theyre f2p.
tldr bc wow, wish i could type like this on last minute essays: optimization, revival of old content, msp loot system for everything, remove designer thread and only have chromatic thread, no trove, more/all outfits in f10, gem difference is dumb, ur clients suck, and trove is dumb.
sorry for the longness i am PRESSED
