New Root Abyss Equip Drop

It is not difficult to weight loot drops for the players participating in e.g. cRA. The only question to ask is: how do you want to weight it? That question still stands regardless of how the drop mechanics work, be it an individualised loot like what we're arguing and being unhappy/happy about now, or whether it's an FFA of sorts (which people are also arguing and being unhappy/happy about).

(...snip...)

In fact, I feel that this is a great chance for Nexon to implement machine learning, which would recognise how much a player contributes to bringing a boss down e.g. if your aura increases someone's DPS by 20%, you should be rewarded as though you yourself did that kind of DPS. It doesn't need to be complicated, such as a quick background check on how much your buff/aura increased someone's range by, and then somehow add that to your range.

I know I'm just throwing many ideas here that probably are implemented, are not implement, or are just fantasies. But I feel that the individualised drop system is really for the better on the whole, not so much for the economy (because that's when abuse comes in and GMs etc. have headaches... like we're not supposed to have mule accounts by right, but about every Tom, plantain and Harry down the street has some number of mule accounts...).

You develop ideas for the desired end-result; you don't trash an idea for what would happen if abused (to a reasonable extent, that is), but rather you work around and improve it.

I like this stuff. Add in a static bonus for each successful bind, magic crash, buff dispell, to cover the rest of support skills.

Will this aura bonus include regular buffs like rage/medi, or bishop hyper bless/hs? or be restricted to BaMs/Zeros/etc just Aura skills?
