That's your main miss. It's Korean MMORPG, but server is EU.
Also I dont get why do some players emphasize that if some feature was implemented by developers, then it's how game must work. "It's part of a game" - so what? The fact they implemented stigma shards, godstones and other things doesn't mean it was correct decision. Furthermore, the fact it was mistake to implement these pointless items was confirmed by next updates when shards and godstones (for example) were removed.
Now don't need to say "go play another server with more fresh update if you wanna play without stigma shards" - it just was example. I already know opinion of publisher (EuroAion) about these changes - they have objections. So, if don't want/can't to remove them, then make them more available. Then some classes like clerics can play fullpower. Yes, you can play fullpower now, but be real - the most of them don't switch stigma builds when they would like to or change only some of them cause they are afraid of losing so much money. Or maybe afraid of stigma shards get disappeared from broker - yes, it's posible. Yesterday all courage scrolls disappeared from broker, for example. And again there was opinion - don't need to send playes grinding just for stigma shards.
For example, yesterday I changed stigma to dps, went kata and we failed cause templar doesnt know how to use iron skin at the beginning. Is it my fault? No. But I spent stigma shards and x10 strange Id for that. Then I switch to support to do sauro as solo healer. Not bad, right? You must farm money and stigma shards to get opportunity to farm (in katalamize). Farm to farm - it's Korean style. And here we are again coming back to my first sentence.
