The drop rate nerf was a huge mistake in general. That whole "closing the gap" post made it that much more painful. It shows how out of touch they are and shows they aren't paying attention to feedback either. Korea didn't want this and neither did we, yet they still pushed it through into the live servers. There are many ways they could have made things a bit easier to lessen the gap without screwing over the people who have spent hundreds of dollars investing in an additional gear set for the drop rate stat. The fact that you lose over 10k+ stat (as a funded player) investing heavily into this stat means it should be good.
All they had to do was buff the drop rate universally (either that or make in game cubes more accessible with higher tier up rates on meisters). This would make it easier for unfunded. This would also bring down the price on nodestones for unfunded as funded would farm more too. Even with full drop rate gear before the nerf, the drop rate for symbols and droplets was disgusting. It's now almost non existent. Most of the people I know have been put off by these changes and have just stopped playing or farming in general. It's incredibly demotivating. It's like Nexon's purposely trying to slow down progression even for people who invest money heavily into the game to make things faster for themselves.
