Hoping for Greenstorm to see this;
As an end game player, I believe one of the biggest issues that needs to be solved in this game is our lack of gold income.
This problem becomes even more apparent when compared to the gold income for the Korean servers, as we have less sources of gold but the same costs as they do for upgrades. When they received the updated daily challenge reward and rest system, it came with an added benefit of receiving a gold box if you completed your 5/5 set dailies on a character, which guarantees 1k gold per character on your account each day. Additionally, in the Korean server, if you have premium membership you are able to "purchase" a free key in the Hongmoon Store (F10) that's limited to one per account. When used on the box, that key guarantees 2k-10k gold PER DAY.
This is allows players to have a significantly higher rate of upgrades for their Starcross accessories and Upsurge weapon, among other things. Comparatively, we are only able to earn less than 500g per character, and that is only if we complete every F8 dungeon (not just the daily challenge) and all solo dungeons (Sanctum of Masters, Den of the Ancients, Spectral Shrine, and Shrouded Ajanara). This shows that not only do we have to put in more work per character, but we also earn less gold.
Even doubling our gold income will not be enough to solve the issue.
Another present issue is resources for upgrading our Starcross accessories particularly.
Consider the situation where we have the gold needed for the upgrades. Unfortunately, we do not receive enough 'Radiant' and 'Shadowed' Starcross crystals compared to our Korean Server counterpart. So NA/EU players need to farm all day just for a few attempts at upgrading their gear, as opposed to the previously mentioned accelerated rate of upgrades for the Korean server.
Is the current expectation to burn ourselves out farming a single dungeon 4-8 hours a day to try to match the Korean rate of upgrades? No one in our region is max geared as it is not reasonably feasible. The amount of gold needed and the amount of Starcross crystals is absurd compared to the current income of these resources for our servers.
Please look into it as it would greatly benefit the remaining player base.
