@Cyfur: I am curious, what would you define as really bad?

Sorry guys, it is valentines. I feel generous.

@Shirene-DN: Certainly. As soon as the remaining 20% (taking your numbers) of real players stop, due to the 80% of bots, the bots are going to leave as well. One could also argue with the amount of players that left already because of it.

@Cyfur: You are correct. Only Platinum to Sapphire currently.

Aion | Aion Classic 2.5 Update: A Daeva’s Counterattack Patch Notes (aiononline.com)

Most of the old guides were deleted, yet with a bit of digging you should be able to find one. That you did not find any actual treasure chest is no surprise because those are camped heavily. I suggest to wait for the incoming empyrean crucible (in a few days) where it drops of the spirits in an early stage (atleast it used to) and skip the hassle.

Your assumption for the rate past +10 is correct.

@Shirene-DN: The NA playerbase. @Arhangelos: Also the huge delay and the fact they are not really getting the actual classic the other regions got, does/did not really help. Right now, the hype about EU is pretty unjustified. If they really required two years to fix a launcher, the expectations can not be that high.

@Malloc-KT: They just take the second option of your search too literal.

Confirming the issue. Started a new character on sunday to try it out. Light blue quest icons are mostly not displayed in whole Verteron, except for some excpetions, even if just one level below, exact same level or one level above. All the quest settings on the map were active.

@Cyfur: How is knowing the chance being an easy ride?

@Cookie: Thanks for sharing.

What is this about?

@Jiren-Siel: I believe that your posts are not changing a thing, whether I am cool with it or not. May your perseverance be rewareded.

@Highdetails: Since you just quote me to vent your opinion in a strawman fallacy there is not much for me to reply to you, except... if asking questions for you equals bashing, that means you are bashing me and the Aion-Team with your post.

@Jiren-Siel: Are you not getting bored of this? Your whole post history is you asking about 1.9, 2.2, 2.5. Surely as soon as 2.5 is out you ask for the next patch the day after. While it might be justified, there simply is no point in it.

@FictionGirl-DN: The reasons should be pretty obvious: ping and schedule. GF and NcWest are pretty much the same.

Unless you are fighting named entities or nuking on reflect, I find it hard to believe any mob slaying you with one hit while having max gear and upgrade's at level 50 during quests. Do you have any specific example?

You have to gather all the instance fragments starting with lower chambers. If you managed to outlevel that one, the quest is impossible to complete. After you proceed to upper outer which again has a level restriction in classic. Next upper inner chambers. The last part was in Indratu fortress.

NcSoft never clarified as well whether ID/loot selling should be allowed or not in Classic. Most players just assume so because the game offers the possibility. NcSoft never clarified whether players are meant to invade starting zones in Eltnen/Morheim as well, because there was nothing to clarify. NcSoft never clarified whether players are supposed to be able to skip most of the elites in Kishar/Indratu by sneaking around the mountain tops. And so on.. What you seek in this matter is not a clarification, what you want is an official statement forbidding it. I support your cause, but not your reasoning.

People assume that enemies should not be inside Inggison and Gelkmaros fortress due to a decade old message by a former Gamemaster on retail. Looking at it technically, the game itself does not prevent it heavily, which it obvisouly easily could. If you look at the fortresses in Eltnen; Heiron; Morheim and Beluslan everyone was able to infiltrate those anytime and none really cried about it. I used to slay enemies in Beluslan fortress, Red Mane Cavern and Hoarfrost Shelter and they never made a post about it. I used to get attacked at Heiron Gate often and never came complaining on the forum about it. Because it was meant to be. Because everyone was aware of it being possible. Compared to that, there are Teminon and Primus fortresses, surrounded by a large lethal bubble barrier. At the start of retail that barrier could be bypassed by ressurecting at the other side of it, whereas later and still now it instantly sends you back to the obelisk. So Teminon and Primus fortresses are not meant to be reached by the enemy faction and the rest are. As a player, if I can reach a location by only using the games functionality, without the help of any third party application, I assume it is meant to be reached and part of exploring the world of Atreia. Especially if it is still possible over a decade later.

If only one could transform in there

@Blume: Your conclusion seems weird to me. GM can not afford to ban misbehaving players but can afford newbies to quit instead because of such players? Players openly misbehaving (botting, cheating, grieving, harrassing, abusing) made players quit. If dissatisfied and ridiculed players repeatedly get told to deal with it or quit, guess what they do? If newbies doing quests get rolled by a full opponent partly shouting "noob", "rubbish", "just quit", guess what those newbies do? One has to realise at one point that the low player base is a consequence of the misbehaving tocix players and poor management, not the other way round.

Yes. If you consider buying one to master it, just see the value as a plain noble, without manastones, enchantments or godstone.

Yes.
