Entirely nerfing FC won't solve anything. All this is going to cause is for people to start selling PV runs -.-

The real way to fix FC is to make it 80+ and remove the glitch on the second boss.
Removing that glitch would stop almost all sins and bm's from soloing FC.

Remove glitch of course after all of you when you were lvl 80, made fc ONLY with that boss glitched cuz none of low lvl's squads cand kill it , now you want others not to benefit from it right? But when you benefit from it was ok ..so typical....

There's many subtle levels of power creep, and the idea is to keep the power creep continuing but attainable as so you don't kill your game. PWI seems to constantly flirt with that line. Other games cross it and kill themselves or survive via other positives the game has to offer. They're not going to change a business model for making money (That would be stupid) but they will hopefully attempt to do it in an attainable/reasonable way.

Also get your butt in more NW squads so you can make money and get R9. I'm up to about 20 friends/faction mates now that were in the "I'll never have R9" crowd that now have R9 thanks to NW and regular farming - no Merching needed.

I have a decent amount of faith in PWI wanting to ensure the game stays alive and avoids the death pitfalls that have killed other games. It may not be the sexiest money maker out there, but you never throw away a profitable business model. It seems they're thinking more into the future than they have prior, and the fact we have a communicative CR that seemingly IS getting results out of China, I can't complain.

There is a power gap between R9/R9rr and the other gearings, but it's not as FOMG of TT99/R8 vs R9, and it's WAY easier to obtain than it used to be with NW. I believe the game would have been more balanced without R9rr beings so obtainable, but ah well.

Either way gearing only relates to the FF Hyper situation insofar as hyper leveling DOES allow you to get to that competitive level quicker to better compete in TW and NW. However banning all hyper FFing is bad, as it does take a lot of time and effort to go through 80-100, and it's really boring. Getting facepunched for months instead of a few weeks in NW I imagine would be really discouraging.
