Honestly, so many rejuv/healing motes drop I can almost kill non-stop off just those.

While I like a lot of ideas in your post, the community that plays the game (NA and KR since you wish to lump them together) actually disliked a ton of stuff like harder bams and non-rng enchanting. GW2 did gear equalization and pvp in that game died within a month. WoW has been trying to balance pve and pvp for a decade and has never once been successful. Just saying that many things do not have simple and perfect solutions like you seem to think.

No better comeback than calling people paid reps eh? How much does NCsoft pay you/whorgut/outlaw? Or does that sound as silly coming from me as it does from you?
Fatwa is in all probability just a shill, probably an alt forum account for one of the high ups in Enmasse. The best way to try argue your case as a company is not to post on your official account but seem to just be one of the players arguing the good things of everything they do.
Anyway it's still pretty sad that they said they would do certain things and now they see the $ signs they are just forgetting they said it, end of the story is that this is a game and you need to keep that in mind. We all know you need to make money (f2p wasn't needed it was a decision to get more money out of the customers) but if you lose sight of that you will pay for it in the long run. Right now many of us feel compleled to use the cash shop to upgrade, or buy cash shop content others have bought. Something we were promised would not happen, but is.
Spellbinds should be available ingame without someone paying for them (the cash shop should be a way to get MOAR, not the only means to get any), MW alks (the success rate of which have been nerfed) should be available in higher quantities ingame. Ext are still preferable so this should not be a problem.
The problem with the cash shop is that you are moving away from adding quality content for people to buy and into taking stuff out of the game that is needed to progress to sell instead, because this costs you nothing to create. Adding a new costume is quite expensive, selling upgrade items = no cost at all because it's already in the game.
The more we buy these ingame upgrade items the less chance we will get any new costumes or mounts, why sell expensnive to create limited sales items when you can sell ingame upgrade stuff?

It's significantly more skill-based than the majority of MMOs. Obviously gear and class play a part. If you want purely even fights go back to CoD because FPS is about the only genre where things will be even.

People already said in the chicken little thread that the price for these consumables actually was lower on the AH after the F2P change in korea than they were on the specialty vendor before F2P. So either enough people are laundering cash into gold through these consumables or enough are dropping or both.
There won't be. Drop rate is probably increased, but nowhere near what people could subsist on.
I'm almost certain the vast majority of mw alka and spellbinds will come from lockboxes.
Unless you're buying your own keys, you'll probably be buying them from broker from people who bought keys to get them from the boxes.

Maybe they're taking a queue from ncsoft lol.
Seriously though EME, should let us know if these class balance changes were simply accidentally omitted from the Rising patch notes, or if they were unable to be included and will be added in shortly. Some sort of response along these lines would be appreciated. At worst I suppose we wait another 4 days and get our answer then.
Segar, that is entirely illogical. Why would BHS sabotage their own games localization after striving so hard for years to seem like they wanted Tera in the West to succeed? What you are essentially saying, is that BHS is preventing NATera's growth, but can you give any single reason why they would do that?

Ya, it went with EME allowing them to drop in game instead of making them cash shop only when BHS took them off the vendors. And I believe earlier in this thread somebody pointed out that ktera's mw alks are cheaper on the broker after the cash shop change than they are currently on the vendors.
I'm going to call shenanigans on this. Pretty much this same line was used to discuss the possible removal of mw alks and spellbind in our version. It was something like 74 pages, if not more, of people against the removal of mw alks and spellbind from the specalty vendors. Eme read the thread, compiled the feedback, and we all know how that went.

To be fair, right below you is a post complaining about how strong priests are when Korea considers them significantly weaker than mystics and in need of buffs.
Also most of the glyph changes lessen the rng involved with stun resets in favor of other effects which is alright by me, even if I will mis backstabbing 4 times in a row sometimes lol.
you really didnt post that did ya?
Of course ours and theres are diff ,they have had balancing done that we have never caught up to.Now the Balancing is designed with the new things in mind .Which it doesnt look like we are getting .
so we dont need the balances that are designed for what is coming because we werent caught up to what was there before was the responce ? O.O "walks away shaking head"

BNS gonna be F2P and massively P2W hella quick if Aion is anything to go by.
Hopefully they are just missing the other patch notes from class changes.
Good thing NCsoft is getting Blade&Soul and not this [filtered] company.

Since they are decreasing the cost of stuff and I'd likely be doing NT/nexus anyway for chance at an easy piece, is nexus T13 any good +9ed? I'm returning from a long hiatus as well and only have nexus t12 atm.
