Considering the circumstances - the many, many variables at work for both sides - it would be easier if the most used items were in the quna shop.
Wait, you said what? That is so pay-to-win; how dare you say this!..
We are already there. We've been here for a long time. Before the nerf patch, everyone was paying a kinah seller to obtain world materials, and it drove the cost of things way up because those that could buy created demand. At one point on Asmo, you could RMT for .11/million. Come on now - many of our internet service bills are more than the cost of 300m kinah; depending on what you were buying, that could last a long time. But, those that couldn't buy suffered. It's sort of similar to today's economy, and there isn't an easy solution. Inequality will always exist.
But this is a fictitious game, not reality.
The proposal of manastone bundles, balic materials, and crafting supplies, for example, are better served in the quna shop. In this patch, you will never craft another fabled or let alone eternal balic weapon. The bots are keeping potion-making alive. Nobody is out there harvesting enough materials to sell to the masses.
The enchantment rate for manastones, the methods implemented in retail are not coming classic. Failed enchanting would increase supply, but it won't happen.
So, put it in the shop. The keys in the deava pass could open boxes that provide quna so that all could get what they want from the shop. It is the only proposal that will work, considering how receptive NC Korea has been. Inequality will not be fixed; however, so don't expect it to solve all of aion's problems.

Even though this will fall on deaf ears at ncsoft what are some of the pros and cons of aion 2.7 ?
I'll start!
I dont like the camp set up for dailies . It increases the amount of time and it has essentially killed all pvp around zone 3 and forts of gelk. You literally only have a few minutes of group pvp when daily go live each morning then it is dead.
2. The lockboxes are complete rubbish. I have opened many of them to only get food and aether jelly that share cd with crafted ones. The best rewards just 1 plat medal or 1 mil kinah is very rare to get and it helps nothing to address the zero drop rate.
3. The server due to some of these changes drops etc has been even more dead since 2.7 the opposite of what you would think would happen.
4. Drop rate for new stigmas is horrible and to make the only instance that drops them once a week is even more of a joke.
Its really sad how NCwest has no control and NCsoft in KR doesn't listen to its NA region but instead wants to copy and paste what they have in KR which does not work in NA markets.
Im usually not a negative person but i fear for the longevity of this server if changes aren't made soon .
Some of the changes I don't mind and do enjoy. I think they deserve some credit whether KR or NA on the ideas and work they have done to make the game interesting again.
I like the daily setup, but there is a lot of travel that is needed to get them all done which does increase the amount of time needed. Though, right now there is more PVP and I many I know appreciate this.
The lockboxes are another example of aion RNG at its finest. Complete rubbish. Also, the amount of items you get is crap - 5 scrolls... crap.
Stigmas can be obtained in many ways now and I like this change
The game plays better, feels smoother, and looks better.
The quna shop I like because now one does not need to always buy quna to use in the shop or pass. The amount to unlock the pass as well as different levels is way too much.
Prices for kinah are stupid high. We all know, seriously, we all know that everyone buys or was buying/botting kinah because the RNG to socket, enchant, and craft is absolutely dog s h i t. Instead of changing it to retail structure with a failure not destroying all stones, it leads to buying kinah. Also, balaur mats for crafts? If found are so expensive and the rate to make an eternal weapon? Serious low. Quna for kinah? Sure, I can live with that, but not at this price. Or fix the real issue imo.
The extra server is a good idea on paper, but a fail in reality. The population is slow low that it's not worth leveling and being trapped on a server where it is improbably to obtain same level gear that is the standard for pvp right now.
The pass? Again, why not give out an entire set of 40e acc/armor instead of weapons? Because medals for these forts is not just not feasible now.
my 2 cents.

In case you guys haven’t seen it they posted a new video updating us on plans for NA
https://www.aiononline.com/en-us/news/new-class-revenant-more-2-7-dev-update-preview
it seems they are switching to a lockbox type drop system to combat bots .
thoughts ??? Comments ?
Ready for disappointment I am.. Is one box going to give all the items listed or a random chance at one of those items? If its random they put up a tombstone for classic. Anything random in this game is frustrating.

Aion Classic Maintenance Notes
The following changes will be coming to the game during this maintenance:
-
Aion Classic Login Reward Event Begins (7 Days)
- Event Period: May 2 – May 8
Thank you!
The Aion Team
Are you able to perform server maintenance on time, or have a good explanation why server maintenance is consistently being delayed 1 hour or more?

Nothing at all.
That's mere speculation
Not sure what you are stating as speculation. The EU patch notes are clear… My reasoning is speculation sure; however, it would be hard to deny that this reason is not a reason or part of the reasoning for such changes

Been many weeks now with no solution to white drops etc...what's getting done if anything?
It's not going to be addressed.
Aion EU will be utilizing the same fix/patch with nerfed drop rates - probably to combat RMT and other outside-game-transactions based on in game drop mechanics
Thus, both locations will continue like this..

Should include in this thread those that use anti-gravity and glide hacks to fly into forts while xformed. A game breaking mechanic that gets no attention also.

Christmas in Atreia has felt lack luster in comparison to other events held this year. In addition, there has not been any rewards this holiday season for re-subscriptions to Siel's Aura - my 90 day re-sub this week did not net me any rewards as has existed in the past, 5-7 major crowns and then some... Quite depressing. Likewise, there has not been any exciting drop events, boss rewards (remember the random godstone or manastone drop?). The shugo shop for coins is quite expensive, major crowns used to be much cheaper than 150 tokens, for example. Sure, you get free weekly dice, but I feel much more could be done here. After all, this is the season of giving...
My point is that this whole holiday season thus far has felt like the Grinch stole Christmas - any opportunity for happiness with some sort of fun event e.g., double drop rate, 12 days of giving (12 days of Christmas), no soul healing penalty etc. has been lost as if the entire team is a bunch of Scrooges. Any comments @Roseae @EMpulse

The price increases on the level 60 balaur materials is due to price manipulation and has nothing to do due with drop rates. These are the players that are trying to lock other players out of playing the game because they refuse to normalize botting. This artificial price increase is a form of encouraging rule breaking which then in turn costs NCsoft in loss of opportunity. When those players leave, we will have more frequent rule breaking from those unfettered players, and if not, the popularity of rule breaking per player will increase simplify because there are less players that play fair. Don't get me wrong though, they do have significant measures in place for botting, but the already existing kinah is still in circulation among the bot owners and a few lucky players. Some bots might farm unfettered for short periods of time, which is why it seems like they don't do anything about botting, but they do and if you look at the map there really isn't much botting at all because of this. Take all that I said, you got players forcing the population to normalize botting and then you get something like Aion 8.2. They do need to increase drop rates on balaur materials though.
That's why most people are buying/selling k i n a h. Its quite normalized because the sellers are making a decent amount and players are getting it for cheap. Many are not complaining because they are okay with this as a means of keeping the economy as it is.

Can we get reset scrolls for UT/LUT & Besh in the quna shop since the dungeon delve event has ended? Could this be a rotating thing where the scrolls are for sale when either event is/isn't active? Even if its just for a week that they are for sale. I do not see instance timers changing so I feel this is a good compromise.

Quna shop for all our needs

Yes, the integrated broker system is a great idea. We need it to expand to where there are always the most used materials in stock with prices that respond to world prices/taxes only. Some stuff should be sold by NCSoft, not players.
