Hello all, Been playing on retail since 4.0 to 4.8 inclusive. So one good point made by @Bladegunner is that it take more time to get to officer rank. Its a fact. Lets do some numbers. EOBx2 - maximum 100 GP per day. Lets go 60 medium ( 50/50 win chance ). EOB - 100 GP per day Kamar - maximum 100. Lets leave it medium at 60 Siege - maximum 900. Lets go 300 medium per siege day. How ever with smart tactics and low gear this can get increased. Arenas - lets leave it at 60 average. So roughly in 1 week you can get just from daily few hours activity 580 GP. If my math is good 580 GP a day will get you 4000 GP a week. There is IS that gives weekly points. There is IWW that gives points. So getting officer rank 2 should not be that far away. I decently accept there is a factor of bad luck or no premade for instances. Yet if you are getting a lot of losses in Kamar, EOB, Arenas with BM Gear - might be time to improve personal skill to kill your direct counter class ( class you counter ). Again not saying anyone is bad, just motivating to keep a open mindset to get better at things we do! Last week managing to make around 200-300 points a day - still going up the ranks and getting closer to Officer 2 star. When it comes to 5 star officer - sorry I strongly believe the only way to get there is to be more active then the people in front of you. Is it possible? Yeah. Sure it takes 6-8 months, yet that's how everyone gets there. Being xForm should be a privilege and additional status when it comes to guilds and numbers. Thus politics and stuff can happen. GoT got nothing on this! Some ideas about the current patch and how I believe it was designed to be played: This is just my understanding of the game process - nothing more When reaching level 65, first and main activity of the game remains on PvE. Get some mythical Sauro weapons and farm BM/AC gears. This would take a few weeks. After that comes the GP activity and GP accumulation should increase on siege and worth starting doing Kamar, EOB and IWW. ( Would assume no one will take not a geared player or there will be little time after all the PvE activity going on in the first weeks ) After getting GP for officer 2 star and starting to gear up - comes the end game. Mostly focused to get 5 star and more. From this point of view - I would ask myself how much time I want to play. Cant have all the best PvP gear without investing time and effort into GP farming. Skip next to topic if you don't want to read my thoughts on the topics. *Experience from getting general rank or retail: Hard to get there, very tempting. Was it worth it? emm... meh... Not gonna do it again on porpoise! So the players who play most on the server should have the option to get closer to top 10-30 ranks. As they would have more influence over the community. I would not prefer commanders that play on the server for 2 months - that might be a bad experience as well. *Lets look to our neighbors: So I understand the author of the post proposes changes to the ranking system on the server. I was scrolling thru the post ( didn't read that much documentation since never ) and did not see a new system proposal with details, risk assumptions, benefits and downsides. WoW - the king of MMORPG, has some great features that Aion might wanna get implemented by NCSoft in 9.0+ patches. Strongly believe this can revive Aion again. WoW also has a interesting GP like system - its less focused on the amount you play in the long term, yet the amount you play in the short term ( weeks, not months or more like in Aion ). There are interesting review videos about this system - will not describe how it works, will just make a short summary: You HAVE to play 11 hours a day for a period of 5-6 weeks to get close to 'governor' rank. Was reviewing also some Valve made games - not really makes sense to introduce changes to adjust to that system. Short summary: Please if you have some plan, ideas on how to change the current GP system - what should be added, removed. What happens to Old players, New ones - make a nice looking, readable plan. Would love to review it I believe the current system is working as normal, the changes Team EuroAion made - are good and should help new players to replace players who are less or in-active. @Bladegunner I would suggest having a chat in discord with people from the server that are here for a while - you can get to make new friends/premades and get the view from another side of the coin on the existing GP system. Its always the question of balancing the bloody coins! Nerk nerk!

I know how @bladegunner feels, I see his POV. I played Hellion some years ago, I did managed to be 2* few months, maybe two, well, you should say that you could get 2* gear? WRONG! I did have no knownledge of the game, I didn't get that much a ceranium, it was blessing to me to get two each day, I wasn't doing dreds or arenas, i hate loosing all time , my GP kept stable and increasing. When servers merge, true, didn't change for me as was like 4* officer, but we got joined with Anhuart, a older server, does feel bad having to loss your rank because someone played EARLIER than you. I could say: I deserve have 5*, I played for some years stright! Well yeah..I would deserve it, but never was enough, I could't manage to close my gap as always was 50-100 position bellow, and the gear.. dear is a pain to farm, is no easy when you have little to none knownledge or do have some party to aid you. We do tend that not everyone is able to find a premade so quick (I myself i am a example), so one player do not earn the same and do gear up as quick as it would like. Also I am afraid that the team won't gonna lift a finger to change anything, they want it as vanilla as posible, wich is loable, but let's be serious... this version only is good because of Katalam, ask others about how a pain is socketing composites after they break (Granted, it's easy here but still a pain) and they all disappear, everyone became happy when vanilla did remove that and only the manastone that was beeing socketed would break. ATM I do play on another private server on another game, it's Korean too and it's about all farming, when got max level, I saw that the curve to get a gear spiked, and oh dear, was a blessing to be able to ask for a free gear on the website, gonna make an example; Imagine yourself getting intro Katalam and mobs are hard to kill, you got at best, Daevanion gear 55, imagine that the gear you need , you need by farming some medalls that mobs drop, it would be a good drop, but they need a lot , let's say for the sake of argument.. they would cost twice the Karum set does cost. Imagine farming that with the Daevanion gear 55, a real pain... wouldn't be fun. But what if you could claim once per account that same gear but randomized? This gear normally have 6 manastones and 2 ancients and +15 enchantment, but the gear you gonna get does not have manastone socks and it's only +5, would be slow at frist, but each time you get a piece of armor, you kill faster, you get medalls faster and the more armor you have , you would be faster, and yeah, the armor you gonna buy is the gifted one, but you buy it because you can make it to suit your needs. I honestly belive that newer versions of Aion, above 4.6 are better, granted, not all are good, some are lamae, but on this particular version, that no other thing exists besides Katalam, is no worth it and I am afraid that I won't put a feet back on EuroAion if tings stand still.
