1. The exclusion of OP items and any item not available in game in IM (with a few exceptions ie sealed bags, slot expansion, etc).
2. No more OP offense/rings/upg items offered or sold ANYWHERE.
3. More defense gear to offset this OP offense nonsense. IMO, no race other than dhan (being an assassin) should be able to 1-shot every other race with comparable gear and that is close in levels - even for a cash user. Give cash users an advantage, sure. But to make cash users like mini bosses, or gods from the perspective of the non-cash user, is something even I, a cash user strongly disagrees on. And for those of you that are wondering, I am not a dhan.
4. Useful rewards/prizes, while NOT being OP. Perhaps things only obtainable through events you cannot get ANYWHERE else.
*I have event prizes/rewards from 5+ years ago that I haven't been able to use because of how useless they are to me.
5. Try not to convey the feeling of being a stingy company by the cheapness and uselessness of the rewards/prizes given out, because honestly, the company commands stinginess in every facet of their business practices.
6. Here's a HUGE one that PenguinJoe already touched on: The fact that you guys kill the success rates for people that use preservation stones is just downright dishonest and wrong. In other words, it's a blatant scam. Stop scamming your customer base, please.
But in the end, everyone already knows the sad truth. The reality of all this is, none of this is gonna change if the company doesn't FEEL the need to, which they clearly don't. The only way they will FEEL that need is if there was a sudden dramatic drop in population (going on strike), or some other reason to cause them sudden panic. But let's get real here. No one here is going to that, and PWI knows this. They know they have all the leverage until something like this happens, which it will not.
*In the end, if no other things mentioned above can be changed, I propose that at least give the non-cash users more motivation to play and stay. Because in its current state, no one new to this game with a brain will EVER feel there is a reason to. Rohan in its current state is nothing but an 'elitist' club that 90% the server isn't in. Would new players wanna play in a game world like that?
