I joined EA in October 2024, and took a long break 3 months later because the gear gap between old and new players is absolutely insane, I will never catch up with people who have been on the server for 5 years, farmed the hell out of events back when the tempering drop rate was through the roof, and Sauro bugs to drop even more tempering solutions. I grinded my ass off to get full AP gear within 2 months, but it was still pointless as my accessories are +0, I get clapped in 2 seconds by +5 players and gunners...speaking of which, the classes are extremely out of balance in PvP. After my break, I came back and made a bard, which I love so much and enjoy a lot...BUT, absolutely no team would take me in PvP, and I am fully geared with composites, just no +5 because I don't have what, hundreds? thousands of euros to spend on cash shop to hopefully catch up with old players...As a result, I am forced to only do PvE as PvP on this server is an absolutely disgusting experience, but again, the droprate in PvE is not rewarding, Sauro 30min of my time for an L70, I havent seen a mythical jewelry drop since MONTHS in there... So I would say, based on my own experience, action should be taken to improve the gap between old and new players, improve event droprate, instance droprate, improve balance between classes and GS proc rate, democratize tempering because in my head, it makes absolutely zero sense that I have to decide "oh this Kamar we afk" because my opponent is some +5 elyos premade, or "cancel queue X premade has applied", like to me this is straight cancer I have never seen such buffoonery on retail, I used to enjoy PvP so much back then, PvP here is just unfair and frustrating, and PvE is mostly unrewarding with the 0.000001% droprates
