New Root Abyss Equip Drop

Honestly he swayed my opinion on the matter, and this really isn't a healthy way at all to fix the game's issue. I'd much rather have HARDER equips to obtain, and EASIER ways to empower them. That seems like much better balance than hard to obtain ways to scroll/potential and easy ways to obtain gear.

You can't buy gear with NX; you can only improve it with NX. So having cheap gear really doesn't help anyone when the gear honestly isn't the issue. The issue is the price it takes to make the gear good. If NX was more optional, say for impatient people, or people who want to upgrade easier, then that's one thing. But if there's so much equipment and none of it is really getting scrolled/cubed... Well, what use is that for anyone? There's just going to be a bunch of extra equips like there is of empress right now.

And while I agree with Vanderlust, I only agree with what he said, because he's one of the few people in this thread who made any valid points and had reasoning.

On the bright side being able to kill the bosses on your own or with friends, something that was pretty discouraged before, allows you to freely gear mule characters which has always been something encouraged by nexon. With cheap emp and ra i can gear up my phantom/bishop/bucc to be strong enough to farm gollux for scrolls or commerci for cube materials, which are easy enough to beat with clean end game gear sets.
