Make Dark World Tree/Scrapyard great again

(I'm talking about Dark World Tree here, but I guess this applies to Scrapyard too, as well as any other level 200+ non-Arcane River area that we'll get in the future)

Today I decided to actually bother with the Deserted Camp daily quests for the first time. I ended up spending an hour exploring the entire world tree, just walking around, enjoying the epic music, remembering the fascinating story of Heroes of Maple, etc.
But then it hit me, when I saw how much EXP the monsters there give, and also when I saw that almost every map is a level 10 burning field:
That place is useless.

Now that we have Arcane River, other 200+ areas became obsolete.
Level 200 mobs in AR give 360k EXP; level 210 mobs in DWT give 260k EXP.
Mobs in AR drop Nodestones; mobs in DWT don't.

It's kinda heartbreaking. DWT seems like it could be such a cool place to train at; it's very atmospheric, very unique. Such a waste to see it being left to rot like this.
So then, my suggestion/feedback/request is: Make that place useful again please :3
Whether it means to give the mobs better EXP than AR mobs, or to give them some unique drops, add/improve the quests there, etc... I dunno. Surely Nexon can use its imagination =P

    I think they can give the bonus exp for party like they gave for some maps, so people can train there if they want to, even tought i expect they nerf all areas like in Road Vanishing in KMS, and no mob lv200 give 360k, that's Lachenl level lv220+area, overall all mobs give 200k exp in the first area.

    All mobs in DWT don't have the imense hp that all the Arcane river mobs have too, even with the bonus from arcane force the mobs in Arcane river still have a good hp, i still think they can make a revamp, reducing number of maps and making more usefulls ones maybe, and doing something to actually have a reason to go there intead of Arcane River.

    the thing is AR was created specifically to address the issues with higher lvl training maps of the past (Scrapyard and DWT) while expanding on story. it would be better if they just scaled those areas for better for 180 to 200 to lead up to arcane river instead of trying to compete with the 200+ areas that are superior for more than just the EXP, because that lvling gap is pretty stagnant in good training areas.

    Oh, the irony of the place being called "scrapyard". About 95% of the completely obsolete and unused maps in MS need to be thrown on that pile.
    Seriously this game is up to what, 9 gigs of download? They could probably cut it down to about 2 gigs if they waste bin'd all the unnecessary out-of-date crap.

    Both scrapyard and corrupted world tree are designed specifically around obtaining Absolab gear rather than actual exploration/training. The currency needed to purchase Absolab gear is through tedious daily missions and defeating the *QQ-inducing-carry-me-pls* juggernauts; Lotus or Damian.

    Only problem is with Absolab gear now being disregarded in exchange for either CRA set or the new Arcane Umbra equipment. Without a real goal or purpose for players, there really is no reason for players to even bother coming to these areas. Party zones or Exp boosts are nice, but there should be a greater secondary purpose exclusive to these areas; like Arcane River's Nodestones.

    Problem also is that in KMS it's more suefull, so i guess more people go there to get absolab eqps that are much better in there, while in here it's not worth the time, so nobody goes there, i guess not even hackers go there, Arcane River is just better in every way, you get more power farming there, more exp, and more mesos if you sell nodestones. For me it will be more usuable this areas if we get the 25stars system hat KMS have.
