This point is completely ludicrous. One, Zakum is a boss with millions of HP, and requires a party of four to six people to kill effectively. Granted, by today's standards, he isn't hard, but the point is still valid. Two, Scarlion/Targa are also bosses, both of which are tough in their own ways. If anything deserves to be buffed, or rather, restored to it's original stats, it's the Scarlion/Targa helmets, which were originally +18 to all before Nexon nerfed them. Neo City is NOT Neo Tokyo. Why the hell would Nexon give us a +18 stat helmet for doing what was quite possibly the easiest set of quests in the game? After the crumpled paper quest, it seriously took me forty-five minutes to finish the next FOUR areas. Just because a quest has a horrid drop rate doesn't make it hard, just time consuming. The only part of Neo City that fits your description of "MUCH MUCH MUCH more work than a zhelm or scar" is the crumpled paper quest, which really isn't even that bad if you have 2x drop. Scarlion/Targa/Zakum aren't exactly "hard work", but the helmets that drop from them certainly deserve more stats than anything that Neo City could vomit up. And by the way, the level requirement means nothing. That's not even a valid argument. The only reason you see so many 5x's running around with Zhelms is because of the Scissors of Karma and the fact that they're selling cheaply for ~59m. Just because the Circlet has a level requirement of ninety-three doesn't mean it should have better stats. It's stupidly easy to get.
The circlet is a piece of crap, no doubt, but it's perfectly suited for the area. All of the monsters in Neo City are almost fifty levels lower than their stronger counterparts in Neo Tokyo. Making the Time Traveler's Circlet +18 to all would be stupid in every way imaginable. It would destroy the purpose of having Zakum/Scarlion/Targa drop their helmets in the first place.
