Will bb alleviate, present an efficient alternative, or bring an end to grinding? It will alleviate it a bit. Grinding is much, much faster after Big Bang. Or at least, up until 120 it is. It'll be much easier to level up a character after Big Bang.
Will bb do something about the horrible economic turns that have resulted from numerous exploit periods? Um... I don't really know what issues GMS faces, but I don't think this will have much impact on the economy, except for the fact that some equips, like level 110 Dragon equipment and Hwabi throwing stars, will drop from normal monsters.
Will bb discourage exploiting of the game? I don't think anything ever will. People who do such are sick in the head. They don't let anything stop them from hacking, exploiting, or overall hurting a game, just for their own tiny bit of satisfaction.
Will bb clean up the useless features of the game which include the following:
•filler mobs that nobody will ever level on Yes. A lot of monsters that are previously unused will be used after Big Bang. A lot of currently pointless monsters serve a bigger role in the game after the Big Bang. Though, some others may suffer a bit.
•useless maps that make the game feel as if it's a never ending walk Some yes, some no. This is something you'd kind of have to see for yourself.
•redundant items that merely serve to fill up space in one's inventory and that have no collective value Nope. I don't think any of those items have gone anywhere.
•quests that have outlived usage All quests are renewed. Some may fit that category again, but I think a lot of the quests after Big Bang do more good than before.
•garbage NPCs especially the ones littered about in towns Um... I think this has to deal with specific versions. The only way to tell is to see what happens in GMS gets this patch.
Will bb make questing a more enjoyable part of the game? Yes, a bit. Quests are much better now.
Will bb give us more rewards for hard work, rather than simply 3 and 5 points? I don't quite get what you mean by this. AP/SP gain? Those stay the way they are. =/
Will bb do more to differentiate the classes, while helping to make sure that no class ends up dead last (as archers have historically been)? Yes, kind of. There's a huge game rebalance included. I don't think any class is left too far behind anymore.
Other than suggesting cash shop items, will bb do more to help people be unique in terms of stats and skills in the game? I don't think so... Things have changed so much. Skill builds are kind of redundant compared to what they are now. Skills will still be built the same way. Stat builds MAY change, but I think most people will still keep doing what they've been doing.
Will bb replace stat whoring with a more useful form of competitive fun? I think potential killed all hopes of that.
