I just realised I could have been using the Goddess's Blessing skill to remove the Arcane Power penalty...
I am sleep deprived.
That might make it fairly doable.
Does Arcane Power just affect the damage I do, or also the damage I take? I've failed to find clear info about this.

Arcane Force affects both the damage you deal and receive, to a small extent. At high levels of Arcane Force, monsters will deal less damage (as far as I've seen).

"It's too difficult to do"; is this really the case?

Most likely, yes.

Evidence points to the EU and NA servers being two distinct databases. Migrating all character data would be exceedingly difficult to start (and would likely have to be manually transferred without infrastructure connecting the two databases). Further, because they are separate databases, players have conflicting names (names are only shared per-region), complicating matters.

If you want my personal opinion, without knowing the exact structure of the databases, I would assume it isn't possible without a major overhaul. You would be better off dealing with the ping, or recreating your character on the EU server.

I cannot speak officially, however.

I'm still very confused about your actions deleting every thread you've ever made. Never in my life have I seen someone go completely dark over being banned from a game.
Had you deleted all the maple threads I may have understood more, but you also deleted numerous threads you made in other subreddits (namely /r/transformers).

That aside I will point out that the subreddit mods likely banned you for spamming multiple threads on the same subject (at least 4 in less than a week, as Aggraphine pointed out). While your threads on this forum have been different enough in content and far enough apart in time that they're not explicitly spam, you should be wary of this fact. This isn't a threat, just something you should be aware of.

I should also note that I cannot find any evidence that any user explicitly has accused you of being a hacker, let alone a majority. Partially this is because you went and deleted all posts and eliminated much of the record of this subject so I can't be too sure, although I think I recall one heavily downvoted user saying something akin to "lol stop hacking", maybe?
Many users, in fact, attempted politely to guide you through the appeal process, and later the process to deactivate your account.

Finally, although I will admit I personally don't like the mentality, the most used method of scorched-earth policy for Reddit posts is editing first, deletion second: Reddit stores backups of deleted posts but doesn't store backups of edited posts, which is why deleted/removed comments can be recovered via certain APIs such as Removeddit (for deleted comments) and Ceddit/Snew (for moderator-removed comments).
Since you deleted your comments without overwriting them with an edit, I'm afraid your post history is still visible via certain undelete APIs such as Removeddit. This might not be something you want to hear, but I feel you should be aware of this fact so you aren't troubled in the future.

When you're fighting monsters around your level, an orange portal will randomly appear. When you enter it, you'll either speak with Pollo or Fritto.


Pollo


Fritto

You'll then be teleported to an area to finish one of 6 missions.

Pollo's missions are:

• Protect Pollo: Mobs will charge at you and Pollo from either side of the map. Your objective is to kill them before time runs out without letting Pollo's HP drop to zero.
• Guard the Castle Gates: Mobs will spawn from 2 portals (one on the upper level, one on the lower level) and make their way across the map. Your objective is to kill them before they reach the other side.
• Catch the Stormwing: You'll be put in a map full of lots of monsters. Your objective is to kill as many as you can within the time limit. By killing the Stormwing monster, your time will be extended by 6 seconds (up to an additional 30 seconds).

Fritto's missions are:

• Eagle Hunt: A minigame where you use your mouse to aim and shoot a rifle at eagles bouncing around the screen. Eagles are worth 50 points, Dark Eagles are worth 100 points, and Golden Eagles are worth 200 points. Kiyos are also in the map, and give a 50-point penalty if you hit one.
• Egg Stealing: You'll be transported to a large vertical map with two platforms on either side, with hidden portals on either platform. Your objective is to guess the right platform combination that gets to the top.
• Courtship Dance: Fritto will dress up as a chicken to steal their eggs. Your objective is to complete the chicken dance by pressing the arrows in the combination appearing at the top of the screen.

Pollo's missions reward EXP from the mobs you kill. Fritto's missions reward minor EXP upon completion and up to 2 reward pouches depending on how many points you got (3 pouches with the Alliance skill).

These missions are not to be confused with the Inferno Wolf, which has a different portal (red, with a wolf head on it). Although Pollo tasks you with killing the Inferno Wolf, the wolf is not a bounty hunter mission.

LOCK NOW

For once, I agree; this thread has gotten entirely out of hand. Specifically because you refuse to accept any advice given to you, and reported at least one comment for "harassment", despite the comment in question containing absolutely nothing but sound, polite advice.

As others have pointed out numerous times, you should make efforts to improve your gear:

• Collect your class' Emblem
• Fight Zakum for the Eye and Face accessories; the set bonus provided by the Boss Accessory set will be worth it. You indicated in a PM to me that they were ugly, in which case I advise waiting for a transparent item sale, or using a fusion anvil.
• Try upgrading to Pensalir gear. It's very common in training areas around your level, and hardly a grind.
• Try fighting Horntail for the Silver Blossom Ring and Horntail Pendant.
• Try the Heizan dungeon to obtain Kanna's Ring, Hayato's Shoulder, and Ayame's Belt.
• Start the Gollux questline by accepting the quest "[Crimsonheart] To Grendel's Library" located under the lightbulb icon on the left-hand side of the screen. Some of the Gollux accessories can be farmed by killing the shoulders and abdomen, as it is not necessary to kill Gollux's head if you do not want to.

There are guides available online which can lead you through content quickly and without issue.

For upgrade materials, you should make use of in-game systems to obtain things like cubes and scrolls:

• Use the Fairy Brothers' Daily Gift to obtain things such as cubes and flames. Assuming you started the Daily Gift today, you would receive a Powerful Rebirth Flame in more days (2 flames if you are at least Bronze-tier MVP). The daily gift only requires 300 mob kills a day, and the gift can be claimed by clicking on the green calendar icon on the lower-right section of the screen and selecting "Daily Gift".
• Use the Monster Collection to obtain reward points, spell traces, and occult/master cubes. Monster Collection might be difficult to set up, but once you have a good collecting of monster sets you can regularly obtain rewards on a daily basis. You may try going for the Chryse set; it's a relatively easy 24-hour expedition to obtain, as it does not include any elite monsters, and two of the monsters appear during a stage that involves dozens of mobs spawning at any given time, meaning they're rather easy to collect.
• Reward points can be used to purchase red and black cubes, as well as safety scrolls and such. Bosses and monster collection are the primary earners of reward points.
• Set up your legion by having at least 500 levels across all characters total in a particular world. Once you have your legion set up, any characters in your legion will earn coins for you, even while you're offline. Legion coins can be used to purchase Powerful Rebirth Flames, Epic Potential Scrolls, Master Cubes, Bonus Potential Scrolls, and so on (as well as EXP coupons and leveling potions for your future characters).

Additionally, you should familiarize yourself with Root Abyss boss mechanics. For normal RA:
Von Bon

• Jump over or duck beneath Von Bon's energy balls
• When Von Bon jumps, jump as well; make sure you aren't on the ground when he lands. You will know Von Bon is jumping because he will make a distinctive noise.
• Lure Von Bon into the black clocks, and make him avoid the white clocks. Black clocks increase the time you have in the battle, white clocks decrease.

Pierre

• Try to keep yourself some distance away or otherwise behind Pierre, to avoid his umbrella
• Dodge his hats by noting the markers on the ground
• Pay attention to his color when he changes, and the color of the hat you're put in when he changes. As the battle states, attacking Pierre when you're wearing the same color hat as him will heal him
• For Blue Pierre, simply double-jump through him and run to the other side of the map
• For Red Pierre, simply move away when he vanishes.

Crimson Queen

• Avoid Crimson Queen's breath. It cannot be tanked unless you possess a skill that grants invincibility from %HP attacks, a skill that absorbs a one-hit KO, or if you are in a party and all party members stand inside the breath
• Stay out of reach of Crimson Queen's claws, they will inflict various status conditions; her claws can be avoided by jumping through Crimson Queen behind her.
• Do not attack Crimson Queen when she triggers her damage reflect (denoted by the blood-red barrier surrounding her)
• Kill Crimson Queen's Mirror as soon as it spawns, such as by using skills that target multiple mobs. If you do not kill the mirror, it will seduce you and kill you.
• Double-jump out of the way when Crimson Queen spawns her vortex.

Vellum

• Double Jump out of the way any time Vellum comes out of the ground. Watch the ground for the yellow markers (indicating where Vellum will pop up) and his normal digging
• When Vellum is about to fire his meteors, his growl will be different. Pay attention, and try to stay behind Vellum at all times
• When Vellum fires his poison, he doesn't growl differently, the poison will be denoted by the green markers on the ground.
• When Vellum is about to jump, the yellow marker will be much larger. You may attack Vellum with certain ranged attacks while he is jumping, but not all of them will hit

Finally, if gearing up proves difficult or impossible, find a party, or someone to carry you through. I will note that this may be more difficult than simply getting better gear, however, as you're attempting to do regular Root Abyss, and not many people offer carries for normal mode.

Please don't dismiss other users trying to help you, or call them names and insult their intelligence, or report them for merely trying to help. The people in this thread are, to an extent, only trying to help you get better at the game so you can have a more enjoyable experience with these bosses. When you dismiss and berate them, it comes across as egotistical, rude, and haughty.
Your account's age isn't particularly a selling point on authority; many users, such as myself, have also been here for many years. We are trying to help you become better; an account being older doesn't make it better if you don't put in the effort to try.
That's all the advice I can give. If you don't want to follow it, that's your decision.

Thread close reason: thread derailment, infighting.
