[So many connection errors on the launcher]

If you check the news, there have been lots of world wide issues on the internet since last week because cables in France got cut and things had to be rerouted, etc etc. I don't think everything has been fixed 100% yet since that happened. Consider that as part of the problem, in addition to all the other possible reasons it isn't working.

I get all the same errors as well all the time, but it's very random. 

You have all this week and next week to get stormwing gifts and open them. Hopefully they will add an update to the Impressive Gift Box after this up coming maintenance so you can pull the refining stone/sanctity potion bundle out of it. 

Its the fault of COVID & the War......that is all.......

There isn't a 3x number difference. Last night at divine the numbers appeared relatively close. 

When asmos were dominating the server for months not a word was said and no buffs were given to the Elyos faction.

Numbers will change based on the time and day. Weekends you will see more players as the "kids" are out of school, and the "adults" are off work. So the side with the most players that SHOW have the advantage. However, there is also alot to be said for skill of the player.....most Asmos are busy trying to find enough gear and stone etc to even compete. That said even gear and stone can only do so much. Part of the leveling process is lost when you are elevated too quickly. You dont learn the ends and outs of of playing a certain class, which can be the difference in a win or loss at times. There are so many things both of player and DEV side. That said, personally I think AION should go back to REAL classic, offer a sub without stings, ditch the P2W mentality and start giving a #%^%$ about the game like players do.

I knew what it would be the moment I saw the candies and I knew why everyone left at launch. What I'm shocked about is how the few remaining people actually ask for more bots and more pay to win. Also shocked that this game doesn't have a single GM.

But the latest thing that's shocking is they just had a sort of public apology, in which they increased drop rates and decreased the price of Siel's Aura and Daeva Pass. Then they add L110s for $50. That makes no sense.

I'm trying to understand the purpose of classic. It looks like they're adding a new class now and it seems they're thinking of ways to introduce new gear or raise the level cap. Basically they're making retail Aion again. I'm not sure what is even classic about classic.

Its the "Greed Machine" most gaming companies run on. Like I said before we all know their aim is to make money, and they want it fast. Instead of looking at the long run. They know people will always P2W, so they keep finding ways to do such. Most people cant or wont P2W, but  if a vanity items gets my attention, Im not above paying a few bucks, but having to PAY for things essential to  the game is ridiculous at best. Just to enjoy the things outside of of the main such as crafting, or getting the same level of reward for the same amount of work to finish a quest is #R%$^$%^&. Basically if you dont give them money its a form of punishment. I have an issue with "paying for pixels" as all that money spent stops being relevant once you stop playing or the game ends: IE City of Heroes. So until NCS ACTUALLY starts listening to its player base the only 3 people they apparently having working in development will keep coming up with fail ways to just keep the game scrapping by and taking money. It wouldnt suprise me if if most of the bots WORK for NCS!!!!

[are you kidding me?]

Just coming back after a LONG hiatus.....EVERY time I log in (if I can log in) the first thing I see is "SDGKHKFSB: kinah 2/USD" or some such. This says to me that there is no hope that NCS will ever clear out the sellers. No game will ever be content until it is cleared of bots/hackers. I also do not agree with having to BUY your way through the game. Paying a sub I can see, which is how most games functions, with the option to buy vanity things. Take a look at WoW. While the changes they have made have enabled you to  lvl from 10-60 in 4 days, gearing is still the main object. You pay your $15 a month but can not P2W per se. Aion was a great game until they went F2P causing a loss of many players, myself included. I understand the whole reason companies create these games is to make money, BUT without players you dont make that money you greedy people want.....so I have only one question for ALL MMO companies: What will it take for you to actually give a damn about the product and your player base and actually fix some of the issue? That might just being back more bodies which equals more money.....and DONT blame it on COVID or the War, while these things are horrible, the excuse is getting old!
