You have no idea, you should play another game like Minecraft instead of trolling here. I have leveled several toons in Aion Classic, so I know the changes very well. Non quest related world drops are totally unrelated to progressing a character to max level, as thousands of players have proven.

The manastone system is a joke, it was fixed in later Aion. The flaw is the destruction of all stone when a single manastone fails. In later Aion, when a manastone fails, it has no effect on the other manastones you have successfully installed on the same piece of gear. Unfortunately, Aion Classic still works on the old hopeless total failure system which people didn't like at all.

Yet thousands of new players over the past 10mths. have manage to overcome these "difficulties" and get their characters leveled successfully. Perhaps you are not the right kind of person for this?

Most people don't have problems with fort instance timers, because we have something called Instance info in our Menu. 50e was nice, but many people have moved on and are looking at the L55 gear options, and methods to obtain it.

You assume to much. Not everyone has been complaining, in fact it seems only a handful. eg. I don't care at all about general open world drops, and I am sure there are many others like me. The only drops that bother me are quest items. I know some people like to run bots to harvest open world drops, that's not my kind of thing. That's why we have things like surveys and polls, it's called democracy.

Run a poll or survey, see what proportion of the community wants better world drop rate. If the majority says yes, then the devs should do it, after all we are paying for the product.

Wrong, questing has kinah and other rewards.

Bots grind. New players quest and get rewarded.

There is a F2P version of Aion is simply called Aion. Aion Classic is a subscription only version. When you install the Aion Client it allows you to switch between Aion and Aion Classic.

Well you certainly don't earn much kinah from real world drops, so you can discard that idea. Instance drops are a good way. I prefer to do gathering and crafting for my kinah.

The Wardrobe icon on the Desktop is the most useless icon I have seen in the game, it clutters up the space used by far more important icons like Dredge and TIAK entry. What's more, Wardrobe access is already available in the Menu and via Shift+R

Aion has always been plagued with gear inequality and the resulting gear snobs that creates. The devs could easily fix it by making all gear tradable, but they refuse to, so it is what it is.

The high sub price is the main killer of the game, I was surprised at the $15US/mth. subscription price when Aion Classic was launched, I was expecting it to be more like $5mth. because most of the game development had already been done and paid for, TIAK is about the only new content.

All gear should be tradable not just PvP gear, like it is in most MMORPGs.

Back when I started first playing Aion on Nezekan server, the Asmos were first to flee when server transfers were opened. More recently on IS they did the same thin,g and re-rolled on Siel where for a short time they had an advantage in numbers, then when IS merged with Siel, and it was clear there were more Elyos after the merge, the Asmos started leaving again. That's why Dredge and Tiak would be far better if they were not faction vs faction, but simply group vs group instances, that should be easy enough for the devs to do, they made it happen in certain 1v1 arenas in the past.

Also I noticed that Asmos getting a free win on MyAion stats with no Elyos in the game, whilst at, the same time, I was in the Elyos QE queue trying to get into a game. Seriously broken system.

Aion Classic is NOT a free to play game, it is a paid subscription game like WoW etc. If you want Free to Play then simply play Aion retail, not Aion Classic.

This is the NCsoft North American forums, not the EU forums. You are in the wrong place to ask for Aion Classic in Europe, you need to ask on the Aion Europe forums.

Dredge popped faster for the first few weeks after the merge but now it's a disaster. Always says waiting for Asmos, even if you QE right at the start of the session. The is not much point in working on PvP gear if you can't get into a match.

Sorry meant Design Recovery Potion at 12million on the broker. It will be worthless next week because the fine designs will get you above 400 alchemy.

Lot of these things will change next week as many expensive items on the broker become worthless. eg. Design Recovery Spell currently 12millon. Lots more equipment options will open up. Udas, Stormwing etc.

Your post has nothing to do with PvE. The reason people sit in QE for ever is it's buggy, always has been, and the devs have never tried to fix it.

Correct, unlike Gold and Silver medals, Platinum medals are not tradable, which has always been a problem. The got replaced by something called Petra Medals, which I guess NA have named Sapphire Medals, but we wont know for sure until we see the icon.

Dear 5 post troll, I will be posting where I feel like. Since you remember back to 2011, then you should also remember there are about 20-30 quests, if you count both factions, which reward platinum medals.
