No.

There's me and like one other guy on the Elyos side that have been carrying lowbies through campaign quests regularly. Sadly I have decided to take a break from the game but honestly helping low level players is way more fun and #feelgood than anything else going on. Perhaps if they introduced a mentoring system like days past it would help for people who need a monetary/item reward incentive. Also - every so often I would get a message from some random annoyed that I'm helping noobs. Cant wrap my head around why anyone would be mad about it but welcome to Aion I guess.

Tbh matchmaking would be difficult to implement when the player population is so low. You will go from making half the AP to no AP at all because you won't get a match.

One issue that's gone on as long as time itself is the lack of transparency. We never know what's really going on, we just see the results of it. Based on the small amount of interaction we have it appears that those that want to make a difference are hindered by internal/external agreements and rules. These rules likely prevent them from communicating as much as they would like as well.

I think they do read the forums. People certainly get banned for being too spicy lol. I suspect that the issue is they are powerless to do much. A public post released in July promised change is coming with negotiations between the producers here and 'HQ' to be finalised soon. Post here: https://www.aiononline.com/en-us/news/aion-classic-producers-letter-july2022 This is probably their last and final shot to fix things.

Some people just want to watch the game burn (or what's left of it anyway lol).

Happy to say I'm not good at pvp. But I accept the terms of which pvp happens in this game. Yeah it's skewed towards whales, no lifers, and people with excellent pings - welcome to a game that was built for a Korean audience where this is the norm. Anyway, I just enjoy it for what it is, if people are stroking ego because they beat you with 10x the gear or broken mechanics why are you mad? Be happy you didn't waste the time and money that they did and move on. If the player owned discord is toxic just leave it lol. You're paying a sub, so you should be enjoying it. If you're not then you know the answer.

You probably were trying to login during maintenance hours. Happens weekly

After best Spiritmaster stigma setup for: Udas U/L Besh HM Dark Poeta S Rank Currently using a split stigma build that includes Infernal Pain but also Armor spirit from the other line to ensure 100% chance of erosion landing on target. Any value to forsaking this for a full stigma line into infernal blight? Is this worth it for high end dungeons? I'm also using fire spirit + Spirit Wall of Protection for +16% phys damage in groups with glads/ranger/sins etc. Any suggestions valued. Cheers, Crow.

I mean, it's the principle. Many people are mad at the state of the game and so they don't perceive it as worth the 15 even if they can easily afford it. If it were cheaper they may be more happy to tolerate many of the issues and in time become more invested.. sometimes to the point of spending more money on the BCM. There are many potential returners, people who would happily be playing for nostalgia and etc that have a sour taste in their mouth that can be easily negated by lowering the sub price. No other game really need to be factored in.

Edit: just realised your character level is 69 so that aint classic. (Welcome to Aion classic forums).

Reading between the lines, and this one specifically: This is probably the single thing that's kept any real change from happening. A massive disconnect between the people with the raging dumpster fire in front of them vs. the people above in the penthouse of the apartment complex eating caviar. Imagine shouting up to them from the street about this mess, they wouldn't even hear you let alone care. Let them eat cake. Or perhaps, let them eat Quna.

Hello Daevas, We would like to talk to you about an issue we've been getting lots of feedback on lately for Aion: Classic. Specifically, about how certain items are not being included in the droplist or with unexpected drop rates for certain zones and in the open world – to put it broadly: the "drop rate issue." Although this change was applied to all regions including our own, it clearly is not representative of our region’s needs. We have been continually taking your feedback to discuss this issue with HQ and as of this week, we have almost finalized an agreement. We stayed silent longer than we would typically do so, because we wanted to have a resolution in place before sharing it with everyone. We are working to finalize the resolution for our region over the next couple weeks, and we will share it with you as soon as it is decided. This is (and has been) our highest priority and will be implemented as quickly as possible. We know this has taken a heavy toll on the community and want to reassure you all that we have been reading all the messages from Rin and our other Community Managers, as well as the other posts on the forums. Seeing all our incredibly passionate players dealing with such a strong pain point for so long without a resolution is unacceptable to us, and we have been working tirelessly to ensure that our solution will address your needs. We appreciate each and every one of you and we are continually trying to improve our service of the game. To help the community while we wait for these changes to come to Classic, starting next week we’ll be running the following events: Dungeon Delve Returns Fantastic Login Bundle Season 2 Mega Boost Festival 200% EXP 200% Abyss Points Gained 200% Kinah dropped We look forward to celebrating Aion for many more years, and from us here at NC, we hope we can all come together to create a better tomorrow. Sincerely, The Aion Producers: Loki, Andrew, and Min. https://www.aiononline.com/en-us/news/aion-classic-producers-letter-july2022

I can only agree. My suggestion is a compromise, $7 USD per month and just ban the bots (I know, nothing is going to chance, but hey why not have a dream ).

I feel your pain here but you already know the answer. It's the same answer we have had for over a decade. It's not changing now, or ever. For the small player base that's left I think it's one of those boiling frog scenarios really. By the time they realise it's hot, they've already put too much time in and can't pluck up the motivation to leave. We all love/loved this game at one point but it's not that game anymore bro. You can't get that magic back, you cannot go back to your childhood. Don't forsake your present for your past. Don't be the person that in 10 years from now looks back at this time with regret. Life is finite.
