Thats a really small thing, changing one figure in the DB? And it affects 1/4 of mir?
The exp rate, fair enough, you arent changing. Imo its misguided, but whatever. You're bringing quests in to offset that.
Skill levelling effects ALL players and not one person bar you has said its fine. Like I said, a whole level of using gfb 15-16 got me 1000/3000. If it were euro and x1 exp rates I wouldve had to use it 3 times as much = lvl 1 gfb.
Which I really cant comprehend you not wanting to change, its a 5 min job. Using 'Oh well tbolt is better anyway' isnt an excuse, its meant to be the best single target spell wiz gets from 15-17 (Which can take a while here) meant to follow on from fireball, yet you may as well keep using fireball as level 3 of it does the same damage as lv 0 gfb but for less mp.
It brings doubts as well - if I do level to 40, and boss hunt all day, are you still going to just have the same euro maps, bosses, and sets, dropping at the same rate as euro (A server that had a stable economy and more than 10 players online.) When people tell you its wrong then and you give the same reply 'Nope not changing it, euro did it like that' thats alot of players time wasted.
Euro was good, people are nostalgic atm. But euro wasnt perfect. Remember that.
Edit: Spiderfrogs were bugged, Minos ae bugged in the same way (Much higher stats than other stuff in there) lost interest in this server. One where gm wont listen to obvious reason is one that will fall.
