Well i found the answer thanks to you Killifishy.
There are simply too many expectations from people.
Like removing p2w and the game would be "successful" and filled with people and so on.
And now the part where all of it fails. Just because 1 or all players have expectations from those that are in
control of direction the game goes doesn't mean that anything will actually change the way you want.
Even if it's the better path long term or w/e you wanna add as reason. It's like telling someone
what to do and expecting that they will listen just because you think it's right or better or more fun.
But it's their own choice to listen and do it or completely ignore all of it.there are other examples where there is no p2w content and games being extremely popular hence generating huge amount of revenue to developers... Example: "LoL" (I know is a MOBA and not a RPG) but if they (ncsoft) had focused in other elements rather than "pay for progress" they could still make even more money by having more people in their servers 24/7 making small purchases other than 20-100 whales and few F2P players to pray on... heck I'd rather have a "season pass format" with locked content vs a P2W format, I bet it would generate more income for them if the masses were buying them... but sadly the masses have migrated to other games.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on this. We agree removing the Equipment Upgrade Paths was... questionable. We were told it was being reworked so we'll be pushing for it to be added back.
Hi there Hime
It doesn't come to the original post what I have to say... but I just want to let you know that it would be good to reduce or straight up remove the gold to purchase items from treasure trove... since you need to purchase the keys with real money and also have to pay in game gold for the items? never made sense for me tbh.
All that is coming from a person who comes to try out the update after more than a year of leaving the game... used to be a very active player though.

is even worst having a 10k dollars pc and still not being able to enjoy the game as it should be played for it being outdated.

People who bought resets are the people who, in the end, support the server and the company. Until NcSoft realizes that the best way to get income would be a good premium subscription everyone wants (for example 50 daily hcoins if you login instead of 15, discounts in every item on f10, a free weekly box with granted materials and chance of goodies instead of those crappy 30hcoins premium boxes, etc), those players who buy resets and things like that are the ones that keep the game going. And what NcSoft did with this is just slap them in the face.
Dont get me wrong, changing the price of the bracelet is the right thing to do, the problem is the timing. They should have done that the first week after the patch disaster, like they did with the dungeons. But they waited until most people bought the resets to announce and do it, and that's a very abusive and shameless strategy. To be fair with all that people, they should reimburse the coins of the resets, at least as hcoins, but let's face it, they won't do that.
I really, REALLY hope they are learning something of this series of disasters. Otherwise, the ship will sink sooner than later.
Ship is more than half way under the water my man.

The title says it all... is incredible that this *** team believes the biggest issue in the game is the amount of gold players can get out of doing the only stuff that actually "produces" gold in game. You all trying to dream real big on milking people's pockets but you can't even get out a working patch properly... leave alone set up a stable/productive economy where new and old players could grow... but instead they only decide to nerf gold drop from quest and challenges just for the sake of their morbid exchange system, also killing the community's growth in the process making bad gameplay wise decisions like half of the new changes included in this last patch.
If you worry so much about how much gold is produced in game for the sake of your exchange system preventing ncsoft from losing money, and you think gold production is the biggest problem in game related to that... you are totally wrong... start by fixing your servers once and for all and replace personnel by new people able to deliver work of Quality... your focus should be on making the community happy displaying quality in the way your game is handled... and hey words fly... people will notice and you might even get back users.
And please... try to not look so bad... show some knowledge about your own game... the new "Difficulty System" is totally wrong... I hope the boss take notice already and have some heads rolling.

There has been dozens of threads about this. To put it simply; you are a small market country with very few players so you don't merit a server of your own.
Brazil's population is actually not that small... they have over 209 million people (300+m in US)... which is still a big number... and yeah, they have a lot of gamers. Some other gaming companies, specially from EU usually have servers in there... at least they used to as far as I know because it's been a while since I tried new games.
Other thing is that Brazil is a pretty big country... if you want to check and see the real size of any place you can do so on this site: https://thetruesize.com/
I'm not BR by the way... just saying since what you said caught my atention...

Well yes but the gold prices are similar to that of items in trove. so in your example 2900g has Suare dyads thats why it costs so much. All together, looking at these boxes i think they are slightly better than trove, for 2 resons only:
Trove resetted daily , if you got say a 3 star crit and didnt have the gold, you were time limited else you lsot it. With the boxes, you can keep that 2900g box until you farm enough gold to open it.
also trove needed you to unlock salots, the box doesnt.
Asside that everything else is the same lol
Excuse me? having to pay for the boxes and for the reward is fare for you ? right then, keep taking it from b. Those are suppose to be rng boxes... they just came up with an idea to make an even bigger Gold Sink... Even Trove itself is debatable on the way you have to pay gold for the rewards instead of you being able to pick up freely whatever is it that you have won... because let me tell you something about trove that you should already know: you pay for the keys, also for the expansions + you have to pay gold for the rewards which in most cases whatever it is that you pick wont be cheaper than you just purchasing from npc or f5 whatever is it that you are after...
A vivid example of what I'm trying to say here is about the Legendary Gem rolls that you can get very often from trove. Most of the time you have the option to buy 1 legendary gem by 5g... (cheap right?) think twice since you have already paid 49 hm/nc coins for it besides the gold... same deal with materials and the rest of the other trash items that you get from trove... if you just purchase 100 keys you might get lucky and land a good 3 star crit that will be worth something real or if you are just unlucky like me you wont get anything from 450 keys besides 2 -2 stars crit were the best option to choose from was a pack of 5 (yes 5) legendary gems... that by the way happened 3 troves a go to me and after that I have never tried again to do Trove... and yes I've been here since the start: beta tester all the time premium member max rank (that was another scam by the way) which I stopped purchasing premium after these trove events.
Right now I'm just playing the game casually because I like it... but I grew tired of all those scams that they are running on us with that "rng" so no more money from me to them. period.
If you agree to all of this and you feel like that is fair for you having to pay 2 and 3 times for the rewards that you "might" get after spending real money? fine by me, everyone can do whatever they want with their time and money... but that doesn't change the fact that this is one of the main reasons the game has been dying so fast... (because a lot of people just don't care and they keep supporting this kind of abuse and as they (ncsoft) keep making profit from it, they just keep pushing and pushing to get more money out of those people that don't care / or they doesn't stop to think about how they have been manipulated to be part of a vicious cycle of pure spending money) while the rest of the community just give up and quit because they can not keep up (a vivid example of this is the amount of people that actually do battle grounds at competitive level... new gear+trove, new gear+ rng box).
Anyways went a bit out of topic... but the main point is that this is another gold sink scam and I don't think that it is fair having to pay to claim whatever it is the reward you are getting from an rng box which you have already paid with nc coins#realmoney... is not like you are purchasing a box that will give you 100% something... in this case you are purchasing many boxes to see if you get lucky and roll something good... so if you get lucky why do you have to pay top gold for it? it could be 100g or it could have been 10k gold... it doesn't make it right.

It's an eastern game coming over into a western gaming market. This is common across many eastern MMORPGs, and this primarily has to do with publicity, advertisement, and audience retention.
If this was a western MMORPG, the game would be doing a lot better than it is now because we're in the west, and western game industries understand what westerners want in their videogames, as well as how to market them appropriately.
To be fair, both NCSOFT and the community are to blame for Blade & Soul not doing so well right now; NCSOFT for making and pouring out bad game design decisions that are ruining the game's health, and the community for becoming progressively toxic towards anything NCSOFT does now, on top of spreading bad word of mouth. Granted, things like these should raise concerns and help improve the game, but it's clear NCSOFT won't listen to us because here in the U.S, it's NCWEST, and they aren't in charge of the updates being poured into this game; their only job is to hear about what has to be released, announce it, release it, and take the beating afterwards.
If we were part of the Korean gaming market and complained, I'm sure NCSOFT would listen because their HQ is located in South Korea, but we aren't, so we have to deal with it. Sad truth, really, but that's how it is.
Yep, I wonder why the community (what is left of it) has a negative attitude about everything ncsoft does now a days... it might have something to do with them not learning from their mistakes and scams?

what's new? They are a sneakier Trove 2.0 with over 60 different loot tables with only 11 good pouches roll among them which need a big ridiculous amount of gold to be opened.

and we all are suppose to believe that you stopped, made some parses with your ET3 and the event weapon before coming here to post your biased opinion without any fact behind it whatsoever.
Just because the 1 day version has a bit more ap than the GC9 does not make it better by default... the buff from that weapon works different than the other in game weapons which makes them a bit worse than a GC weapon... they do give a bit more ap than a Aransu 9 but is not that great and of even less value for some classes.

Difference is that Circle of Sundering and the other dungeons that you are mentioning did not have an unfair timer. They were and are mostly mechanical based and doable with low gear if you know mech.

I'd like to give unpopular opinion. I like the fact that current events have easy and hard part to them. Gives stronger characters something to do and some extra rewards. At the same time rewards for Resurgence Coins aren't good enough to care about them on alts.
I'd like more of those "two difficulty level" events in the future. Don't get discouraged by hate from alt farmers, who want to do everything on every crappy character, instead of doing actual game content.
you can say whatever you want but in my own experience this is not a fair event for the 80% of the player base.
In my case as a returning player that was out of the game for about 5 months (was sick of all the p2w bullsht... and still) I find it impossible to kill the last stage of Longi with my gear as it is rn having a VT/TT geared Character with some TT stuff, say: Accessories + 5 Piece of TT Soulshields + Awakened Tiger stage 3 + Aransu 9 Axe.
Reward wise the event is ok, but what kind of player can really claim that reward and make good use of it other than just stock pile gems, etc. for future updates just because they are fully maxed out? a Person like me that is semi geared could make good use of them but guess what? can not kill the last stage.
Looks like the bright Idea that NCsoft had was to make a farm-able event that could only be done by the top tier spenders which would not bother that much on farming it since they would not really need.
I have to say that all of you in ncsoft are doing a good job on killing the game for a while now... an example of that is you having to do another server consolidation because once again there are not enough players to fill up 2 servers...

I'm still having the same problem I had with the old Client... the fps in game will drastically drop in populated areas but the game client is unable to even take advantage of the graphics card... which never goes above 30%.
So, what were these changes for?
and in case you are wondering... no I'm not limiting the frame rate in background.
