Scheduled Game Update - April 30, 2013

Honestly, I agree with @Justin. Why do some people assume that funded players just have everything handed to them or buy their way in? It's certainly not true for everyone. In fact, most of the well funded people I'm friends with have reached where they are now by working hard and playing the game and not just pumping their own cash into their characters to get there. Every one of them at one point was at the same place some of us less funded players are at. Yeah I'm one of those players that has capped out around CHT and Czak, etc, but I'd be straight up lying if I said I couldn't find someone who would love to go on that V2 run, or that PB run, or Ranmaru, or whatever high level content there is that I can't handle solo. The problem with people seeking freebies from all these events are that they think they need those hand outs to upgrade their characters or get rich quick without doing too much work, and then they just lay dormant after the event and wait for the next one before they do it again. If people put the same amount of effort they do with raking in rewards from events into attempting things like V2, empress equips wouldn't be a market dominated by the only people who aren't too lazy to take the time to fight Empress everyday. And those people just happen to be the really funded people because the less funded people don't even bother trying.

And no one can say that its too hard to find people to boss with. Join a guild, post in a forum, ask randoms, make some friends x.x
If it's really true that 90% of the player base is too weak to fight these bosses alone, then that just means there's 90% of the player base for you to team up with and fight the bosses together.
