Why wonder. Here is the skinny. I just MIGHT give it a try. Because I like the game and HOPE someone will get it right. I dont think you actually understand WHY people play any game. Its because they as, Squid said, LIKE THE PRODUCT. Just because the
s that "maintain" the product dont do their jobs correctly doesnt mean the product, if managed correctly, cant be good. Plus its my money why would someone I dont know care what I do with it, or what game I play? 
You seem to be more upset about the people that play the game more than the game issues. Again as I stated in my opinion of your post......you need to do alot more research into the people that play before you can BEGIN to even comment. I do enjoy the conversation, and Im not mad at ya, but why spend the time flaming other's opinion when yours is a bit flawed?
The problem is you already have live proof that game forge do not fix problems. Aion retail NA vs Aion retail EU both have the same negatives despite EU having unique regional changes.
They will have the same pitfalls because the pitfalls is the design philosophy by NCsoft for all regions to implement. This is why every region has had the item drop rate nerf this is why every region has a 1.3m kinah cap this is the reason why every region had a 4.5x item price nerf at release all as a way to increase the amount of battle passes people buy.
The problems you have with the game are problems created by NCsoft and are problems in KR players have as well.
https://aion.plaync.com/board/devanote/list
There are people in KR complaining about the EXACT same problems NA is complaining about. In both the Retail version of the game and the Classic version.
At some point it is the players problem for the state the game is in, There is live proof that developers do change their ways if they are confronted by a united community.
No Man's Sky, BDO, Age of Empires 2 and Ark: Survival evolved are all games in which the community took a stance and had their product they improved 10 fold...Hell you could even say WoW is also a game that comes under this category of community members taking a stance. FF14 re-made its game entirely for the community...Dare i go on.
When a community lets developers take take take take without coming together as one a developer will continue to do that and run a product in to the ground. The Aion community across the world has more than enough people to fix any problem classic currently has. Now quote me on this when an expansion comes out for Aion classic(level 60 increase and so on). NCsoft will find a way to take even more features away from us the players and make us even more reliant on the cash shop for progression.
At what point do you stop blaming the developers for the lack of action that the community is not taking?
Edit: With all this being said the best part about Aion classic for me in both KR and NA was the first 3 months and i bet it will be the same in EU as well so i am not saying do not play the game in EU or do not subscribe just know that the same problems will arise in that region so if the enjoyment of the game before these problems arise outweigh the problems you have with NA classic then be my guest buy 100 battle passes if you want it does not bother me.

If server has not shot down already why would it shut down in a few weeks?

What stands out to me is that I've never seen this account post something unfactual. Also never seen them post anything outside of game stats.
Same here.

I've been posting for a year now about how drops should be improved. You can go read my post history. What pisses me off about everyone here, is how you think you know everything. You don't know. You don't know about me. You don't know how the game was in retail. You don't know how the game was in classic. You don't know how the game is now. You don't know statistics. You don't know how to quit. You don't know anything at all. Yet you all act like you know.
Congratulations on your promotion.

Run your NCLauncher in compatibility mode. This will force all children processes, including Aion client to run in Windows 7 compatibility mode, and that should fix this problem.
Glad i decided to read more posts, This fixed my auto hunt problem as well ty kindest of souls

where can one make a complaint to corporate NCsoft for lack of NCwest doing they're nyerking job
The problem here is NCsoft makes NCwests decisions. We have been told time and time again that they are waiting on a response from KR so it is NCsoft that does not care about our region. Employees are just doing w/e they can do get a pay cheque it is not their fault NCsoft does not want Aion to succeed in the west.
There is no fix for the problems because events are the problem. Paying players have to wait for a flash sale event and people who want to play to progress have to wait for events to spam when the rewards are not created equal. Hell look at the newest addition to the game it is an event battle pass LOL.

Dude they took forever to act upon these cheaters. Whose fault is it then?
If they acted faster, maybe they would have more players, but nope. Your point makes no damn sense.
It is not meant to make sense, I am roleplaying the CEO of NCsoft. How am i doing? I think i am doing pretty good.

Bruh LOL who tf are u?
if you arent upset over a month of paying to play a game that is constantly broken and getting told things will be fixed and then they arent, you are delusional. Im not being "nice" to a company i give my money to for them to sit around and neglect their server and player base to the point NEW PLAYERS cant even play.Is it really neglect tho? Maybe the fault lies in the players, If so many players were not cheaters/AP traders maybe they would of had more players who subscribed and bought candies long term thus having enough money to to hire someone for long enough to answer your rude outbursts.

Allow Elyos players to be able to swap their main characters to the Asmodian side. Aion NA will not have new players coming in due to how hard it is to start from scratch so the best bet would be to take some of the Elyos population and move them to Asmo. I already know a couple of groups who are down to do this hencewhy I think this is the best move to make. Imagine an Asmodian race that is able to contest world bosses, apsaranta raids, Vielle etc.
If the Asmo's were not so defeated i think it would be an easy to add a practical scenario to your theory crafting.
If these groups that want to change faction to help do not participate in any content at all for a week and the asmos participate at full force i would wager you could gauge whether or not these groups changing factions will help things or just create the same problem but for the opposite faction.
In my experience playing other games that allows alliance(GvG) and faction switching ends up often being the geared and often the big spending players that will be the ones who switch and if several groups of geared elyos switched faction it would just make it so elyos lose everything and asmos win everything. That is not bandaid fixing any problem that is creating the same problem for different people.
QuoteI remember reading a patch note saying we were supposed to get a global broker either on this patch or the next. Eitherway, this would be a soft band-aid to help Asmodian economy but still wouldn't address the elephant in the room which is the population and the lack of content for the Asmodian side.
This would be pretty cool when it comes in if we were meant to get a global broker, I think this has been a long time coming and has honestly fit the lore since release considering shugo's are the broker agents in this game and they work for both factions. If this is meant to come in soon that will help circulation of items through-out both factions but will also create other problems in itself.
QuoteAllow Elyos players to create an Asmodian character and be able to move their items via the account warehouse back and forth. This will allow players to bounce between the 2 factions population in hopes to tip the scales against the winning faction. This, however, would bring the most problems as people would just move to Asmodian side if they're winning.
To me this is no different than the problems that will arise in the first band-aid.
I love the ideology that is perceived by what you said but i genuinely feel like the practicality will just not work out how you would want it to play out. If they do implement 1) then i will be genuinely curious to see how it plays out.

I remember the theory crafting people made up being that it was meant to be the first mythic weapon but they scrapped that idea when they realized no one could(more no one was attempting) do the dungeons w/o using sorcs to auto attack it or w/e it was.
Lots of different people have heard different theories about the flavour text from what i have heard.

Wish they would add luna mats to the Daeva Pass already!!! Such a simple solution. Yet, something tells me even if they did add them to the pass, they would likely only add them to the upgraded pass.
The theory of this i think sounds good but lets use a hypothetical. Lets say they added luna to the daeva pass but did not did not add it to the upgraded pass. Knowing NCsoft and how they are doing things currently it would be the level 45 reward in the free pass and you would only get like 80 luna. Do you really see yourself doing 12 daeva passes a month to maximize your luna income?

It's absolutely insane that they have left the game in this state. Not that Aion is drowning in new players, but IF new people were to try the game they would have a terrible experience.
They have not left the game in any state, The players left the game and the game does not function with out players like all MMORPG's.
New players to Aion who started during Aion classic had a terrible experience considering 60% of the server was AP trading so yea new players that i knew quit after finding out about people AP trading exploiting the games systems.

Thanks for the answer that is a real shame.

I have only seen discipline and chaos i think, What happened to EC/ID and so on

Luna is meant to be a cash shop feature, You should be bowing down to those who buy it as it is the only reason your game is still open with how little players are logging in.

Yes, it's a good thing that they are doing something, but please do it right.
The one thing we desperately don't need is bad marketing... I saw a lot of people in chat saying things like "game looks awful". Well ofc it does early game.
You need 100s of hours in the game before it gets good. How many 100s of hours has sneaky played Lost ark for now? Pretty sure he is no longer sponsored in lost ark yet he still plays it.
Also we know nothing about his sponsorship deal(unless sneaky said and i missed it) with NCwest for all we know he was sponsored for 4 hours a day for 1 month OR alternatively maybe he was sponsored to hit level 55 before he gets paid.
QuoteI disagree that GW2 is a superior game. People have different takes on games. And if you really think it's superior then why bother with Aion at all?
Look when i say superior i say superior to the masses, I like Aion i think original Aion easily a top 3 game in my books and it got better all the way up until the addition of omega stones. However there is no contest when you look at content being created/game streamed and game played GW2 is clearly a superior game to Aion in the west.
This is because Aion's design is bad for content creators. The moment they make it to PvP zones they are going to get destroyed camped and never be able to participate in content because they will have no gear and will be targeted by sin's and worse transforms who just want face time on streams and drop N bombs because gamers think that is funny for some reason. Is the entire Asmo or Elyos faction going to run protection whenever sponsored players are online? I doubt it.
Also there is one more thing, There is the potential that 20-30+ people were approached for sponsored Aion streams and Sneaky and his agent was the only one that agreed to play Aion classic because if you look at western sentiment of NCwest it is poor and many of them i believe will understand that doing a positive sponsored stream with NCwest will hurt their channels more than it would help their channel.
Either way i am kinda just getting theoretical now so ill stop here.

Who do you suggest they get then? GW 2 streamers would not bother because they play a superior NCsoft game. WoW gamers are addicts that like only WoW. Lost ark streamers are playing and updated korean grinder. BDO streamers will find Aions pace to slow.
Just be happy they are actually starting to do some sponsored streams at all. It mite just be the start of a long list of sponsored streams they plan on doing.
It was a genuine surprise to me that they did a sponsored stream and that is a great start because it does mean that they have listened to the community or at the very least are bringing up western culture promotion tactics at their meetings.

IKRRRRR!!
Such a shame that they trashed the game in the west. =/ (YET AGAIN).
Too bad I didn't like LOA... =/
It is trashed in the east as well. The difference is they have a 5-1 bot to player ratio so they can buy all their kinah from 3rd parties while here they are selling 10m for $15 in which mind you is funny because some of the people i know who are buying kinah for enchantment stones that cost 5m ea quit retail because spending $'s to enchant accessories was p2w. Now they are spending more on 2 enchantment stones than they ever did on tempering and consider it fair.
Does give me a good chuckle.

If this is true let them find this out the hard way in 2 weeks LOL. Maybe that is why they are leaving it broken they want all the EU players out to see if they can or can not shut down the server LOL.
