you complain in a game that is half dead, more than a half the players used the bug, most of players if not all somehow profited from it. uh, oh bgs, as if you werent getting 1 shot before, now you cant 1 shot ppl anymore?
edit; did you go to bamboo village in those days and see the amount of ppl there? how almost all 28 channels full, everyday. now imagine nc banning all those ppl for 7days or permanently. youd have no ppl for weeklys, raids.... and as you mention bgs, youd have no bgs.
edit2: now, what is better, items are still cheaper than before, still enough ppl for all things OR items are expensive as before and no ppl to play with.
