Either everyone should be able to have a pottable badge, or no one should. Because of the nature of this game, doing huge nerfs like this to new players is even worse because it'll make people want to quit and not make new mains or new characters.
When are they going to come back? Is there any plan to reintroduce ghost ship exorcist?
New players are at a HUGE disadvantage and there is even LESS incentive to main a new character now. If nexon ever releases a new class, GMS players will be less inclined to play it. Removing pottable badges ONLY hurts new players and DOESN'T HURT any of the players already capable of doing endgame content. It has literally 0 effect on reducing player power creep and making black mage(?) harder. Everyone on GMS who is going to be doing black mage already has the badge. Nexon you need to either remove all pottable badges or reintroduce them.
It is simply absurd that old players can have a 40% stat advantage and a 100 flat stat advantage over ANY new or returning players.
