Well then if everything is all official, i wonder what people on kRO do when they reach so easily the endgame. RO has always been about farming, which is fine. I don't mind farming over and over something, if there is a point to it. The thing is that you get anything really fast. As soon as you got the piece you want (which is, with a rate 1x, kind of easy, evenmore with some HE bubble) and then you just have to wait a few days for an event to pop (in the meantime you'll get plenty of moonlight/ores/BsB easily) and have a guaranteed +12 for very little to no investment. And well, if you are a bit lazy, you pop some instance reset ticket, and you don't even have to wait for 2-3 days to get the piece you want. Not counting on the fact you usually have friends/guildmates to run with, multiplicating chances to get what you want by XXX Right now it feels like market is alive because people are rerolling from their main(s) already fully stuffed. Hell, you spend quite some time making a pt due to lack of tank/AB/sorcs when before there were countless parties. As discussed on the discord, i'm pretty sure a good bunch of people would be interested in doing more BGs if their was a nice incentive, let it be cosmetic and with some "exclusive" thing to it. As per the PvM side, i honestly have no idea, the new modes are already over-farmed and not really challenging and Bio5 / Fortessa suffer from the lack of parties to farm there. Of course i only speak about what i see which is European daytime hours - i might be wrong and things are better on other hours.

Not much to add - also mid server doesnt mean that everything should be easier to get, especially end-game gear. Giving better or easier access, why not, but being able to roll everything in a few days... Well, people get bored, and bored people just stop playing. And we don't even have WoE/BG ations. Let's hope the afflux of new players will be higher than the one departing (oh and that the "zeny fixing adjusting market" stabilizes quickly)
