Yea, that's with 1 character only and you failed to see there are multiple characters you can do them with. The divine grace stones are ACCOUNT BOUND, that means you need to do them with 1 alt who needs to buy just 1 divine grace stone and you get everything just fine. No resets, no nothing needed. Only need to do cold storage, heaven's mandate and toi 1 time per day on 2 characters and you get it easily. What's to complain there? And its easy to do toi IF you do not complete the run by killing all 5. Kill 3 and then teleport out and it resets back to floor 1, giving you easy 3 wins every single time on your alt.

Assuming i understood correctly what you mean... Well for the item transformation, reason why its not instant is Lag. The speed very much so depends on your current connection speed. For example for me it takes about 2-3 seconds to happen unless theres some form of lag going on. So that can be put to a latency or server issue. The boss mechanics are, well depends how its supposed to work. IF for example i know its TIMED. What i mean is after the message "Yoong initiates Phase Shift" it triggers the electricity thing and then he continues normal rotation and triggers a DELAY of X amount of seconds before he does his actual shield mechanics. So no actual problems there. It's just delayed and not supposed to be instant. So if you kill him before that delay time reaches 0, nothing will happen. Same thing for Jurupo in HH, probably.

May be if you stack all 21 slots with 1 single stat. Even then effects of normalization kicks in quite fast making it not that huge. Well depends on the said stat. Critical for example you already have so much of it the normalization is pretty big and you get little out of it if you already have, lets say 60% crit.

Honestly, it's not worth in my opinion trying to get all purple stones or orange stones. The stat increase over the blue ones is so insignificant. At best you get like around 50 points per stone extra-insert your stat here- at orange level. Those numbers literally do very little to increase your overall performance. 7 blue stones compared to 7 orange stones diffference is only around 300 points. That's not significant in any way and does not change any outcomes in pvp or pve in any way. See here just how much you can get at max https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yLMv9FYiGflo3UHVTIDehYJmY2MeZ0KC0S1USpIX2qQ/edit#gid=0 Assumming it's accurate of course. The skill damage boosts are probably only ones worth getting to at least heroic level.

I might add that during any connection tests you will not see the actual server as end destination as the server most often blocks(to prevent possible ddos attacks) that connection from coming through. Your test ends at the last known location before you enter the actual servers location.

The purple quest for wall walking is slightly different from other purple quests. You get it in Misty woods only after completing the Misty woods story quests about to halfway (after the cave story instance you should get the purple quest for wall walking). Majority of the people now often skip everything in Moonwater plains so they won't ever get the wall walking skill. I think you have to do basically ALL of the Moonwater plains story quests to get the skill if im not mistaken.

Did you go through the portal next to the quest npc or not? Because if you went through the portal you are in the wrong instance and that instance is for party. However, if you entered the dungeon via talking to npc next to the portal then you are in the solo instance meant for the quest and you are just simply doing something wrong. As far as i know the difficulty of that place is not increased so you should have 0 problems with the proper gear and use of skills.

Problem with macros is in the pvp side. In this type of a game it most likely can completely eliminate the human error and reaction time, making them extremely unfair in pvp matches if you don't want to use macros or are otherwise unable to use them. I mean what is the point of a pvp match if you use the aid of a computer to play the match for you? That is not a pvp match anymore. At that point it becomes player vs player and computer.
