New Root Abyss Equip Drop

if maple trickle down continues to help fund low level players, than this helps to take steps towards nexon's publicized less-pay2win campaign. but in contrast t how they reduced sweetvwater loots, this barely evens out. the range needed to kill these bosses is higher than just the gear it drops. When higher level players sell end game equips at affordable prices, end game equips come down to who can scroll/cube/enhance the best. and even tho cra's been beaten, not everyone can kill it, so it gives weaker players something to strive for still.

i agree, it will become similar to old-style empress, where just about anyone could faceroll v2 for loot. If the selling price of these equips drops below the necessary effort to kill the boss, my guild an i will simply farm for other guildies who may not be as fortunate as we have been with equips.

but, what happens when, like sweetvwater, nexon decides the drop rate is too low and reverses this change; or simply nerfs the drop rate back into the dirt. everyone may still have a chance to loot, but at a fraction of the current rate, and in a few weeks time, prices will rise back up.

i would like to know what type of business/economics model the decision makers are trying to follow when they adjust drop rates of sweetvwater and cra. in addition, cra top/bot dont even transpose into sweetvwater, so isn't that even less incentive to strive towards the nearly defunct sws?
