I'm really not sure what they thought they were doing with this tbh. If this was any other company, this many lies (hey, we fixed it..... NOT) would never be acceptable. I'm not sure about everyone else, but I'd much rather have bug fixes and a more stable game overall than new content.
I recently interviewed an IT manager that works at the headquarters of a major corporation, and one of the things that he said was most important was managing expectations. If a customer wants something done by a certain date, AS SOON as you know it's not going to happen, you need to inform them, and give a new, reasonably accurate revised date. Nexon is absolutely terrible at this.
RNJ and first drill hall were, "toxic"? What are you even talking about? No smart person would ever have used RNJ past 120, because there used to be evo lab, before that ALSO got unnecessarily nerfed. They also moved LPQ, so now it's at a level range where no one will play it. They've effectively managed to entirely empty the party quest lobby, all the time. How is this a good thing? O_o In a community, multiplayer game, is it so bad that the party quests are the most efficient at leveling? I'm guessing that, for whatever reason, you don't train link skill characters either, because if you did, you wouldn't think easily getting to 120 was "toxic". Clearly, you need to think about more people that yourself there, bud bud. There has been a long series of nerfs in exp gain for a while, and it's extremely irritating to go from parties to solo grinding. They nerfed HoH, they nerfed RNJ, they moved LPQ, effectively killing it, they nerfed EVO lab. Yeah, let's just continue the nerfs and make it take ridiculous amounts of time to get link skill characters trained up.
