SKIN WEAPONS WITH DEFENCE

I've got a question for the staff.

Is it true that there still are some WeaponSkins supplying "old-type" bonuses, such as pvp-resistances and Max.HP, which are preserved by using Bonus Transfers?

In my community, many players complain about few other players still having the chance to exploit these bonuses.

Well, that'd really be unfair. What's the point into pvp-balancing if someone may still retain bonuses which on Skins? I guess Webzen hasn't taken any action in order to force these players to invest their money on the Wheel of Fortune - but that's ridicolous.

Yes, there are still some skins with old Bonuses.

I have one with "20% chance of double Yang drop" and "6% dagger resitance"

Yes they are. At that point when the decision was taken to change the bonuses, it was said that, only the palyers that would like to, can request a refund or a new weapon skin to replece the one with old bonuses, otherwise they'll remain with it. Of course that those who had defences were not willing to give it up and take another skin. So now there are still such skins, extended each month. If it's right or wrong it's not our call and nobody asked anyways. Looks like we have to deal with those skins as we did till now...that's not the only unfair thing in the game

Without any doubt, it's not fair the Way it is at the Moment.
A better Solution would be, to make the Skins available for everyone in the Way the USED to be.

Because the Skins are the only Way to grant a better Balance compared to the current Situation. Without the Skins you're simply not able to defend yourself against every Race in a reasonable Way.

Maybe this is the intended aproach...not to run solos against opponents and not to be able to defend against every race. Maybe they want (by "they" I mean Webzen and/or GF) to show that this is a team-play game and no-one should be able to fight alone, instead should go with a group/guild/whatever.

They made some things in that direction when they first introduced Meley's Lair and one of the arguments of that was that it'll grew guilds stronger (due to the fact that you need to be in a guild to go to Meley). Now...they ruined that approach and took out one of the reasons people would stay in a guild and introduced "group" Meley. Why would you first give reasons and opportunities to make stronger guilds then take it apart? Don't you see? There is NO WAR between guilds anymore, the term "guild" lost all it's meanings, it's just a group of people having same name and logo above their heads. They have split in smaller groups with which they go Meley, Razador, Nemere or other bosses and the guilds lost their...bond. Dunno how's on other communities but on Romanian servers I couldn't see a war FOR YEARS. And it was fun

Want to do something to keep the players? Make something attractive for them to keep playing. Ballancing and new items could be something but if it'll be implemented as in BR then for sure a major part of the players, those that only play PvP...will be less and less willing to play
