I do believe you know I have quit this game. Yet, I do post on this forum from times to times because that's the only thing not pay to win. PvP on this forum be very rewarding.
But the reason I write this post is to discuss about your last event : Walter's failed Medal.
According to what you said, no one managed to recycle a +7 medal. This should question the rates that are currently set on Jainus. You even said there was a boost on rates. And despite that boost no one succeeded.
I do believe you should revert the rates on the level they were set pre-merge. Forging is almost impossible. Reinforcing to +18 is no longer attainable - leading to discrepancy between old players and new players.
So, let's take the last event as an opportunity to discuss the rates that are currently live on Jainus : could you set them back to what they were before the merge ?
