In the words of the great Mr Jagger, " You can't always get what you want." And its not needed, its a luxury gamesamba where willing to give out to draw players to raven instead of horus which isn't an issue anymore.

Who's talking about platinum boxes?

The fact is, that GS SGM's WANT to bring back EXP boosts! and I perfectly know that I can't get what I want always, life showed me I can't.

And boxes aren't needed, EXP boosts are, BECAUSE the focus of the game is PVP and RVR

They made the game more interesting by increasing the incentive to grind.
Explain how grinding qualifies as interesting, regardless of exp earned.

Just think about grinding witht hose boosts, addig the boost from your scroll, grinding gets even funny and interesting and you want me to explain how grinding is interesting regardless of exp earned.. that's impossible! :-)

I didn't miss the point.

And why did it make you laugh? RO's focus is pvP and RvR, for war you need level, and if you want to be hihg level you must grind

No boosts ofc.

Usually boost events kill the war on whole server. Everyone grinds alts or for drops. You can hunt on grind places, but fort fights are gone.

So in general there have to be balance.

No, you're not correct ieti, if you play during the 4-hours-boost there's was on-going, and anyway, with exp boosts, people can grind at War.

Before time +GRP was removed from war XP calculation. So experience from war is a pure waste. You can level way faster if you grind on mobs.

24/7 boost...better will be to lower the level curve for level till 50.

A much bigger problem is the lack of mobs (or the crappy mob respawn).

In Alsius at level range 48-53 your only viable option is OC. Which is relatively small and has a ridiculous respawn of ancient sabers (there are golems and other sabers, but those are high level).
The grypho's at crater mount are no alternative, especially for melee, because of terrain limitations and an even worse respawn of mobs.

I fail to see the point of boosters, be it bought or given, if there is nothing to boost. I can run around for 5 minutes to find a mob, buff, and then only to see it lured away by some marks from range 40+ >.>

I'm sure other realms have similar issues (though syrtis not at 48-53 since they have mobs spanning all the way from efe beach to PP2 for those levels ). I usually end up going to syrtis OC, but understandably not all greens like seeing me there ...

This especially hits melee characters (aren't those the ones NGD wanted the most of?) since they have to be picky at what kind of mobs to grind on (rake, range, damage type, etcetera).

So no, we don't need boosters given to us imho, we need mobs to:
- encourage people buying boosters ($$$ NGD).
- encourage grinding in parties (a good party sometimes kills to fast with the current respawn).
- give you at least the impression that you're doing something (ahem ) useful while grinding.


tl:dr no boosts, more mobs

oh, and higher XP rewards for war (provided they finally fix support XP distribution)
