Make the game less about the money

A major problem with this game over the last few years is it has become more and more about cash shopping and aps classes.

My suggestions are
1. Make the game about the game play again, stop making bosses so hard you can't do them unless your Rank9 recast bleh bleh bleh - Make quests fun again, make squad Quests, new mobs, new fun pets for venos, there is lots you could do to bring the game back to life.

2. Remove or nurf aps further - aps still rule this game now. If you don't want to remove them...make some more instance for arcane lovers =\

I suggest you do it soon or your not going to have to worry about it....your killing your own game - Over 50% of the Lost City Server have quit because of the path of this game.

    I've only seen over 100000000 posts about this, so I'll answer it.

    Those who MAKE the game, can not just appear out of nothing on a server and say: Hey, from now on, anyone who is more than 3.33 aps sparked, is banned... Aps is part of the game...lotsa old school bosses are nurfed so they're easier (example: Krixxix boss at Orchid Temple, has about 50k hp less now) things were doable in the past, before TB, so surely they are still, only need to know how to do it...And let me say this again: a game NEEDS money to stay alive... think about paying employees, keeping servers up, paying bills for the location where they're working, like elektricity...
    I do not need much,
    I do not have much,
    I do not miss much,
    I have love and friendship,
    To compensate for that!

    Name ONE boss where you need gear like that

    Why would the company that profits from the game being heavily cash-shop oriented want to make less money by cutting said profits to make the game more "fun?"

    'Cause you can't make money from the cash shops from people who are not playing the game and consequently have no reason to purchase zen.

    I absolutely agree ! look at the example of A I O N ( i dont know if i can say the name of the game here so i wrote like that ) xD

    that was a monthly paid game, and then, when they got the game for free to play, and ofc with real money items, they doubled the profit of the company, u know why ? because a person that doesnt spend money as often as a "nerdy" person, ends up spending and buying real money items .. but for that, the player must have fun playing the game, must be "addicted" to the game, but that requires time .. i tried to bring some friends to the game so we could have some fun and they just hated the system and the economy of the game .. as a newbie player u need to spend real money. Now tell me. if u are demanded to do something, do you do that ? but if you take your own conclusions about something, you will do your best.. i dont know if im being clear enough, but to sum up, a person that plays the game, because it is fun and it is fair will maybe end up spending money. if he feels pressured he will just leave the game. and you ( PWI staff ppl ) know that it has been happening ..

    But as PWI ( company ) has more games, they don't care about this little problem ..

    ( English isnt my native language, sorry for the grammar mystakes )
