New Root Abyss Equip Drop

No problem here...



Nexon's going to release a new, better set eventually in the first place. But it's not going to be because RA has become more commonplace, especially when Nexon knows little about how the game works, it'll be whenever the hell they feel like it. There's no new better sets coming in the next several months, and I don't see that changing.



This is going to happen anyway. When new, better equipment is released (this is going to continuously happen) people will work to obtain that gear, and will then scroll and cube it. And if it's from a boss that only the rich can kill, then it will once again be stupidly overpriced and something most people will never see in their equipment window.



Just having end-game gear doesn't really mean anything. Before this drop change I had my mind set that I would never obtain any RA gear, because it was all 1b+ and it wasn't something I'd be able to obtain without investing a lot more time into the game, despite already playing quite a bit. Even if I were to obtain the RA gear through just playing the game (even with this drop rate), I wouldn't be able to scroll and/or cube it very well (if at all), and I'll wager most people in the game won't be able to either.

This drop change has absolutely no downsize for the vast majority of the people playing this game. It brings the possibility of obtaining more end-game gear to people that under normal circumstances, would not be able to. Especially now with them "nerfing" Sweetwater drops, and the Sweetwater armor already being rare and overpriced as it is.

Yes but if the prices of the equips aren't abysmally low, you have the following options:

Gain income by selling boss drops. You can use this income to improve your equipment.
You can purchase NX to improve equipment additionally.

What happens when boss drops are worth next to nothing?
You can purchase NX to improve equips, and that's about it.

Basically it cuts income away from players with them being so cheap.

Granted, a very small amount of players are benefiting from the drops, but still. It's unhealthy for the game.

However, maybe Nexon thinks that having this gear so "unobtainable" isn't good for the game, and isn't how they want it to be. I can also partially agree with that, but I still think if they were going to have it like that, they needed to consistently have it like that from the beginning.
