    Who grinds with 1x droprate and xp?`Nobody, whom benefits from this? Nobody.

    Who grinds with 2x droprate? Conciderably more than with 1x it seems. Whom does this benefit? Everyone whom thinks BH's is ruining the game.

    Which option is more benefitial overall? ^^

    Guess that makes me 'nobody'. Just because YOU don't grind under normal experience doesn't mean no-one else does.

    I have to agree with Ted on this, I grind all the time under normal conditions. When I'm done with BH, turned in CS, and have nothing else to do I AoE grind on poison mobs on Zan or I go AoE grind Seaweed Thieves/Pirates on Zoll... Grinding can be profitable even without double drops, you just gotta know what mobs to kill :3

    I half agree with the 2x drop perm, make the extra drop rate at maybe 150% rate from boutique and only temporary each?

    2x exp? Nah, there is already items in boutique that increase exp and there is lots of plvl stuff. Buy some training escort then.

    Well with the Pwi economy now i think the x2 drops should stay or be tweaked a bit.

    It would be very beneficial for us non-Csers and grinders.

    All im asking to make 2x drops is the DQ items, all the other ones can stay at 1x.
    So it wont ruin "cs mats"

    The 2X Drops may not become permanent but a better idea would be to have them happen maybe every few days or hours, as to not make the game to easy. Although it is hard to level by just killing enemies and if you die and dont have an item to prevent the experience loss well... you would likely look like this: b:shocked b:angry b:sad

    ^I'm with this 1, the drop rate increase while mob kill questing/grinding really help with paying for repairs, potions and other things while still giving you great profit after those expenses b:victory

    OVER 9000X DROPS OR GTFO!!111!!!!!

    Seriously, these people should just get a new daily quest, you pick it up. You port to one random location talk to an npc, then port back and collect 1m coin. It would make everyone so happy. ^^
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    no.....as having 2x drops permanently would flood the market with coins making coins worth even less then before.

    there always has to be some sort of "lower class"

    @Father / Zan

    I grind on normal too, just way more rarely. Of course there are random people grinding on normal too, but the incentive to do so ain't there.

    It's more profitable to do lunar runs for coin, or TT runs. It's better xp to do BH, or FC.

    If grinding gives less xp and coin than something else you can do, why bother?

    Either make grinding worth as much, or nerf the instance runs to be worth as much as grinding. Those are the only ways to have more people spread around the map, instead of bunched together at the BH guy.

    Break the current status quo

    nerf the instance runs

    Bingo! That's what I really want to see happen. Cut back massively on the amount of experience low-mid level BHs (anything below say - lvl 95) give, and possibly find a way where in order to succeed the bounty, everyone in your party must be in level range to accept that bounty.

    And sorry if I came off a little chippy - I get frustrated on these forums when people use words like "no-one" and "everyone." :o

    No, having 2x drops/Exp/Spirit permanent won't be a good thing to have because it will make the game more easy as it is now.

    There's already many ways to lvl fast like BH's, CS's, WQ's, zhening, and more. Also, if the 2x thing became permanent there will be to many people lvling to fast and they won't know how to play their class causing more party wipes in squad doing BH's or TT's.

    Yes, having 2x everything is great time to time but making it permanent is not a good idea.

    I'm not convinced that grinding would cause noobism in the same scale as.... say oracles have.

    In fact I don't think it is physically possible for plain grinding to cause noobism?

    The reason why oracle causes noobism is because those people grind on the same mob and never see any variation. But regular mob grinding forces you to change mobs from low lvl ones to higher lvl ones and you want better gear for them to be able to grind better, more efficiently.

    But that's only my opinion.

    all we need imo is the 2x drops we dont need the 2x exp or spirit we can get those easily but i rlly think we need better drop rate on mobs outside of instancesb:victory

    Oh great... another handout. I come from the generation before Hyper/whoracle/BH and we didn't need double xp/drops to make coin. Making money isn't insanely hard, grind for more than 20 minutes, keep the drops and soon you'll have a few hundred thousand. Stop asking for handouts, BH and Hypers have done MORE than enough for you.

    Who knows... if you spent more time grinding instead of whining about drop rates maybe you'd have money... >.>

    Here Here! I'd have to agree with Zanryu on this one. Grind it out and stop looking for handouts. People forget or don't realize the hard work the first players on each server had to put into getting to where they are. There were no high levels to walk them through an fb or hand them old gear. Work for it - it makes everything matter that much more.
