Let's take a moment to point out the irony here... Last 2 weeks players have been in an uproar about AP traders (that mostly take place in the abyss). Then in the last 2 days players are in an uproar about the AP traders now trading General/officer kills to get godstones ahead of legit players (also taking place in the abyss). Players been BEGGING for a response and action from NCwest....NCwest stays silent and ghosts the players...then BOOM... Here's an event that will make AP trading even easier then before! ENJOY! Who runs NCwest? Like for real, it's one trololol after another

Oh because glitching Bakarma affects the game way more than AP Trading, Hax Tools....

This game so rubbish make no sense ... People ap trade during the day... Bots during the night... Ncsoft team be like: Let give them 2min flying time to revive the game !

Really? This is what you show up on the forums to talk about? We're all waiting on an update for what's going to happen with the AP traders to see if the game is worth staying with or not. It's been a long time without any sort of update, and coming here to give us a pvp event instead as if everything is fine feels like a slap in the face.

I know alot of you will have your comments of good riddance and this game isnt for you and what not. I just wanted to say some things here that I truly feel. I played for around 5 years when aion released and love the game. The AP trading that others have done to get ahead has caused me to neglect my family and life. Its not directly their fault at all but this game is extremely competitive, built on being victorious or being defeated. The constant grind I have put in to close this gap is like pulling a sled uphill but the hill gets steeper and steeper every day. It's been made impossible

Or ... you could just merge the servers and give them a higher population to play and group with ... just sayin

Good: 1 kinah retune is good to have as always so thank you for this. Bad: BCM sales are irrelevant for me, I never buy those, but you are practically selling +5 paragon weapons there! As if it wasn't enough that some p2w whales run around having 10 people and 20 guards on them not dying while killing everyone in their path with 2~3 shots! Ambiguous: The 12 gift event is still lacking information, is it a random reward or a selectable on those chests?? As for the "kill 12 bosses" do all end bosses work, like Minium Vault, Herelym Mine, Lower Udas Temple and Essoterace? I

The chests are not affected from the event, only direct shard rewards are. The ultimate shards need 6x ultimate breaths of transformation to combine, which would take you 6 months for the breaths and if you are religious about doing lugbug daily and weekly then you will most likely have the 500 you need to combine them.

Fam, someone else did it and he said he got 2 days forum ban for suggesting it. You are getting us in trouble, BCM is like Hilary Clinton, if you talk against it you vanish. Keep the dirty talk against BCM away from me please, I got 2 strikes already!

quit complaining about content. this is classic ...you know what to expect. enjoy what they have now. more will come.

@Kibbelz With much respect, this is a mistake. One of the reasons the community has been so upset and dissatisfied is the lack of communication. You should continue to communicate each and every time bans occur. We do not ask you to be specific, just continue communicating. When we think NCSoft cares about this game, it makes us care about the game and want to continue to play.

So it's been a month without any actions against, ap traders and hackers. The server is at a standstill on verge of collapsing. The player base has decreased drastically like the North Pole with it's ice melting at a rapid phase. So basically what I'm saying is, if they don't act soon enough there will be nothing left for them. I myself am boycotting anything that NCSOFT releases in the future.

@Kibbelz Lets break down what has happened these past few weeks. Delay 1.5 by 2 months compared to how the patch cycle was in Korea despite claiming to follow their release cycle In an attempt to make up for it you release the Gojira event that was broken, too much health, and nerfed rewards compared to Korea and I guess don't even try to fix it? Have an event that is literally just a GM transformed into a pig that gives out an exp buff, I guess because the staff isn't proficient enough to fix the Gojira event I'm sure they broke. Might I add that bots were spamming /3 the wh

...can you imagine the amount of people coming to forums to complain they never AP traded but got banned,. And then someone will make a post, talking about "check my logs" and will sound 100% legit, some people will make fun of him, others will support him and he will persist and they will unban him and everyone will go nuclear against NCWest for banning at least 1 innocent person. Then more people will start claiming they simply did open world pvp and they will have people against them again until their posts get deleted. Some tenths posts later a CM will come and say "we assur

Your previous post outlined that you're specifically mad that a friend of yours got banned for doing a little AP trading and you think that isn't fair, and you seem to want a clearer understanding of what constitutes punishment tiers. Problem is if we knew what the maximum about of AP trading you could do without getting perma-banned was, then everyone would just do that. Walk right up to the line, but not cross it. It's far better that NCW has taken a zero-tolerance policy for AP trading because now (idealy) people wont risk it at all, even in small amounts. This is why nobody is on your

Since they do not give out the way they check the logs for AP traders, people can always claim they never AP traded but did legit pvp. People were mad a the blatant ones that they saw and took videos of them and screenshots. Nobody knows what NCWest is going to do and if any legit player gets banned or not.

Returning Player From P2P Days. What are you guys even doing? I have been playing for the past month. Bought a 90 day Subscription to your Aura nonsense. And as far as i can see you guys have lost complete control of this game. Or the very least are not even trying to maintain it. You release a broken event day 1 and it has been broken since and you still have not addressed it. I didn't even take the time to check it out that's how pathetic your event was. You clearly don't care about having active GM"S in the game maintaining it. All you have to do is go to any village in the game and st

NC be like: we're investigating, but trying to figure out which one of the 5 names is doing it is too much work, no updates, sorry guys.

They're already feeling the squeeze, they just announced this last quarter they saw a drop of 19% of revenue from Aion.... a very dramatic drop that has several investors concerned. Gotta remember the USA is their 2nd largest market that makes up more then double of any other region with the exception of Korea which is their number 1 market. Aion also accounts for over 30% of their revenue total. Another fun fact, is the NA/South America audience which uses NCwest makes up 20% of their total customer base which is a huge slice of the pie.... STOP GIVING NCWEST YOUR $$$$ UNTIL THINGS CHANG

Dredge is not a fix for the current state of AP trading. As you might've forgotten, you're going to have to go against the AP traders in matches, and since they severely out-gear you, your chances of winning are slim. Meaning that AP traders will on average win a lot more matches than legit players, and so the disparity between the two will only rise higher. Without stripping AP traders people won't be satisfied, or happy. Some may return when 1.5 is released, but once they're bitterly reminded of why they left in the first place, and that nothing has changed since their hiatus, the numbers

No because they might accidently hit one of their Whales that AP trade if they do that!

Do these things to make sure: 1. Log into NCSoft website and delete the payment method from your account (easiest way is to do this in-game when you go to buy Quna). - when you hover over your payment method "xyz@email.com", a little trashcan appears on the right of the box you can click to delete it 2. Go to your account details page on the website > "My Account" > Transaction History > Subscriptions > Aion Classic Tab > Check that Siel's Aura has "Subscription: None" next to it and below it reads "You do not have an active subscription." 3. Log into Paypal and remo

My sub ran out a few days ago and I'm not renewing it. I am impressed at how poorly they've managed this game. It wouldn't shock me if they are actively trying to kill it.

I went into Classic with optimism and was willing to hold out for changes -- but it seems like they're not coming. A big chunk of my legion has quit the game and I'm seriously considering doing the same. The inaction on policing players who are clearly hacking/AP trading/botting (if us players can CLEARLY see it from our end, I can only imagine how much easier it is to detect from your end of things) coupled with the numerous bad eggs within the community has really soured Classic. This really sucks -- Aion is a lot of fun and could have been a phenomenal game, even with all of the little flaw

Nice thread bro. Devs will surely read this.

Because it seems like people are walking on egg shells and they are at NCWest's disposal when they are trying to fix one thing and they end up breakin two things instead. They have given up on this game long time ago and whenever they deal with it they end up messing more. There used to be people taking advantage of terrain to do aoe on mobs while jumping on stairs (before mobs could literally defy the laws of gravity or walls). Then they added a rule "don't take advantage of terrain"... what is fun if you do not play the game as it is. Hack is one thing, a bug exploit is another, kn

"Login event begins (log into game each day for a survey containing useful items, next week will include some VERY useful items for 1.5 preparation!)" I seriously hope you do not mean 10 life potions is the very useful item thats going to bring back players.

So normies can finish it too I guess.

It looks like everything in game still has decimals and they get rounded. When we had some luna materials doubled in some recipes they look like they previously had a decimal which was taken into consideration. If you see the weekly lugbug it gives 15x legendary breaths of transformation, I think previously it gave 7, so it must have been 7,5 in number originally so the doubling made it 15. We get these edits and local customization with multipliers so they decimals are omitted but they are taken into consideration when other multipliers apply. Also I think the memory shards th

Honestly, if you want to have a reaction, you have to hit them where it hurts the most, and that is with money. If everybody stopped paying, you'd have 1.5 within next week.

Cash Grab 101, sell Pre-sale Siel's Aura to players that lasts 90 days.... Don't release any new content or new patch until day 91 or release... GG

How do you participate accidentally though? AP trading isn't something that suddenly appeared in front of you. If your friend was killing bots over and over again, or if he kept killing a person or people (because they did pvp and the people dying kept coming back and kept dying) then the rhetoric would have been different. But you admitted he did AP trade at some point then "ap trading a little bit" sounds more stupid than "AP trading a lot" because if you are going to AP trade and hope not to get caught you either have to do it smart or you just go full blown AP trading and enjoy t

If NC is only going to do temp bans (of any length) literally don't bother. Gear Strip/Perma Ban or bust. No other solution will do*. Thanks for your time, looking forward to being disappointed in 24/48 hours! ❤️

Will you release 1.5 this year?

This is getting ridiculous! I mean let's be real, there are only 5 Asmodians officers. Of those 5 only 3 existed when this post was made... IT'S NOT HARD TO FIGURE OUT WHO IT IS!

Yup!

Gonna voice the devil's advocate position here and remind you all this is exactly the same laundry list of issues that plagued Aion at launch. The AP trading, botting, kinah purchasing (straight RMT instead of candy) all happened with similar or greater frequency but people just didn't care as much. I didn't start my eventual main until 1.9 and he wasn't in his first PvP set until 2.5~ since Zikel was a zergwall 24/7 and I had a great time despite getting rolled in dredge sometimes and getting smooshed by piles of Elyos. The reality was simply that other people would be more geared than you an

Once it is realeased... AP Traders at that time had 50e armors, 50 Acce and 50e weapon. GL, HF.

Free flight time for more AP Trading.. This has done me.. I'm burnt catching up legally and honestly.. I quit.

I heard Onaho was trading General Kills in game so his buddies could get Godstones with ppl in a certain legion on Siel... coincidentally someone from that same legion is selling the general kill godstone in Primum today... Remind me how AP traders don't destroy the balance in our community?

We want ban hammer

I love Aion so much. My excitement and anticipation was so high when I found out about Classic coming to NA. I don't know how to answer this poll though because either answer is contingent upon two things happening: 1. Genuine effort by NCSoft to ban hackers, especially animation hackers. 2. Evidence that most AP Traders are being stripped of their AP and their armor deleted. I am sad this has been happening. NCSoft cannot plead ignorance. These issues occurred in Korea. Humans gonna human, and so they had plenty of time to plan and prepare to be thorough and expeditious in how

l'm all for playing Aion but I can't justify it with all the ap traders and prices of loot rights now with the introduction of candies added to the game at launch. My leveling experience so far has been terrible with all the ganks and groups disbanding so it's made my decision that much easier. Even if New World isn't polished and combat is semi average, l'd take it over this game how it is right now. I do love pvp in this game but l can't entertain feeling like no progression is being made.

AP traders/hackers/bots directly reduce my enjoyment of the game. The more of these people you ban the more money I will spend.

Just strip their AP and anything they bought with it. Honestly I dont see the point to banning them a few days if they come back to having the same AP /gear they chated to get
