This is quite ridiculous,
We understand that the issue at hand is the exploitation of the feature in the NPC Highest Quest Manager, but why is it that because of a small number of cheaters who abuse this feature, most innocent players are inconvenienced and lose access to enjoying the game's mechanics?

I'm not making empty complaints and am trying to contribute some thoughts that I think of (at least I'm TRYING TO THINK).

1. Improve your server's security; we, as ordinary people, don't understand how to do it, and if you as developers can't figure it out either, I can only laugh.
2. Manual approach: Maintain the NPC with a dedicated person in charge who stands by on a schedule (office hour); if unusual activity is detected, terminate the activity! Outside of staff working hours, please disable the NPC feature (this may sound ridiculous, but it's a fair way for other players).

These are some thoughts that, in my opinion, are quite clear, and I kindly request you to reconsider the WELL-BEING OF YOUR PLAYERS.

oh ya, my another comment has been deleted and i guess i will tell you once again in here.

please be well-managed on every maintenance.

Every post-maintenance notice such as events, game updates, etc. should be updated right after the server up (at the same time). Be professional, please.
Gaps and delays between server up and event thingy are kinda annoying tho. small things, yet important (professionalism).

Hello There!

We deeply appreciate your enthusiasm and feedback on the Sevis Highest Lvl Quest Manager.
Please, be informed that this NPC along with her quests will remain under constant monitoring.
Plus, our GM Staff along with the DevTeam will keep on reviewing the proper functioning of the NPC's quests.

We'd like to bear in mind that the changes performed during the last maintenance were performed in order to prevent the quests from being abused. However, they are not definitive and will stay in evaluation to consider possible changes in upcoming maintenances.

Finally, we'd like to ask for your patience and comprehension on this matter as any change performed will be properly communicated through Patch Notes.

Seal B.O.D Team^^

Next maintenance ?? As always...........
All hail gm bod

I like to know about abuse on npc quest manager first.
What benefit do player get from abusing it?
The only thing I can think of is timing the quest. The quests rotates every 10 seconds, so you'll always get the quests you want if you have stopwatch beside you.
If that was the abuse, it's just inefficiency from the system.
Beside, it's not suppose to be about how long the player play in a day, but about how to keep them playing for longer term in time like years
This will be like you win the battle, but you lose the war.
.

I feels like this has some connection with 200k fame for event and dummies.
Before it's 200k, but you raised to 250k, now it's back to 200k.
So now you monitor it from this npc.
And if you really want to reduce dummies, you need to think along the line "how to stop getting new players"
Those people are try-hard with extra effort to spare. Making a high standard to not let them have it, will make the other player suffer from it.
Basically we're screwed either way.
It's an irony that it's a mmo, but multiplayer is the problem.

Latest "unpopular move" to prevent dummies...GM team out of idea thus implemented this without considering the feelings of the majority innocent players!!
You are making this game less and less popular...maybe time will tell..

I'm confused about how is it exploited and abused?

There's already a limit in place on fame/level requirements until we can't take the quest anymore.
I spent like 300 quest items there and didn't get any single fame like wtf?
Like how stupid can this be?

I spent cegel to buy quest items and only get cegel in return? (and much lower too)
How is this fair in anyways?
If there's a cheater, you shouldn't make bad changes that affect all players like this.
Like who wants to use that quest manager if it doesn't or barely give any fame???

There are already cheaters who have used the reverse operation of this Serves mission, using plug-ins to obtain a large amount of props, and then using macros to quickly obtain a large amount of money from the entrusted secretary. Anyway, most players on the Serves map are not willing to go hunting. Monster, so no one will record a report. This official change has caused worse effects than before.

Hi GM,

I want to make a suggestion,
please change the reward for level 276
You gave us Hyper Rascal Rabbit Gold Word and Hyper Rascal Rabbit Gold Lucky Punch, but they can only be used by characters before level 80

do we have to create 4 more new characters just to use them? I think this is less flexible and less suitable for us considering it is a reward for level jump lvl 276
