I think permanent beginner should be officially recognized. Maybe a special medal or chair upon reaching level 250?

eh, dont really agree, I mean perma ginners are only a thing because of the way maple lets you experience the game a little before choosing a job path with explorers and wasn't an intended class, same for citizen, and cyginners. I think the reward is in the fact that you managed to do it despite it not being intended or supported.

Give perma beginner a 5th jobesque type of skill at 200

isn't the purpose of "creating" a perma ginner to have a challenge of levling a character that has none of the benefits of a picking a Job, which includes Hyper skills and 5th job skills due to the fact that they do not job advance at all.

Nexon removed all duped items, which was the right thing to do. Allowing some duped items and not allowing other duped items to be removed would have been unfair. They have no intent to restore removed duped items, so the outcome will be the same regardless of what you say.

Lol the right thing? Again like many others Nexon has stolen hundreds of dollars from my pocket because they were to lazy and negligent to combat hackers. No other company in the world lets something slide for two years and then does something moronic like this two year delayed roll back on items. Diablo 2 was plague with these same issues and they never did a mass 2 year roll back. If they didn't catch it that same week they let the items hit the market. Over time the market will always fix itself. There is no reason to piss off your player base who unknowingly purchased duped items.

The hackers already made their money and flooded the market long ago. Duped Prime Scrolls etc. Reacting after 2 years is the wrong freaking move.

Duped items are "stolen hundreds of dollars" from Nexon's pocket. What's your point?

not really, duped items have only stolen money from the players that bought them because more often than not, a lot of items get sold and then recubed for better lines and if it didn't come with one, even given a neb, when the duped item gets deleted none of that investment is returned to the player that ended up with a duped item, which is a problem for people that shop for pre upgraded items. Even I can see that and I make/ upggrade all my own gear and never buy pre upgraded stuff.

I would be fine with the dupe removal if they could have provided some sort of return of investment made by the player that it was deleted from (maybe of just all the cubes and upgrading materials that the last owner put into it) as I agree a dupe removal is healthy, but considering how late they decided to remove them, there were considerably high amounts of player investment because they didnt know the item was duped, and so the players that had items removed should at least get back what they them selves invested in the item. I'm not saying that the meso (or $$ cause we all know there are some people complaining here that used PP or other services to get certain items *cough cough*frenzy*cough*) that they spent getting the item but if they payed for stars then they should get their meso back for the stars that player added to the item or they should get scrolls or spelltraces that they may have invested in scrolling that item after they got it.

If they put a daily limit on PQ's but make it so they give amazing EXP (far better then what you could get training) also have the exp scale to level up to around level 220 and give a bit better rewards like exp coupons, extra boss passes etc. That would promote a lot of party play and make the game more enoyable because you wouldn't have to mindless solo grind the whole time

that or give better rewards for completing it, like fusion tickets, neb boxes that give c or b rank nebs, spell trace stacks, maybe even x2 exp coupons and maple points or maple Rewards, you know, anything that players will actually use/ need most of the time instead of the lackluster stuff that they currently give which is basically just for collectors, which they can keep, but it really needs more than that to get people doing PQ's again .

I feel that Ironically the thing that Killed PQ's was removing limits to PQ's (that was a GMS exclusive change) on top of the crazy buffs to bosses that happened in unleased that made people leave the game.

pre unleased everyone was happy to do some PQ's, but post unleashed the only pq's people wanted to do were dimensional crack and RnJ, and once the lvl requirement went up for dimensional crack that was abandoned, and only RnJ was done until a nerf happened so people couldn't get from 70 to 140 in about 2 or 3 hours, at which point it became completely abandoned because for certain level ranges grinding is way better.

would be neat if they re-purposed some of them to work for lvls 200+ and give some decent exp as an alternative to grinding in arcane river

it's just the boss of Arcana, just like the boss of Vanishing Journy, (both happen to be the first part of 3 areas)
it's also part of the story that this is a "powerful boss" that is corrupting the other spirits.

wont expect the rest of Arcane equips until we get to the 6th area.
