this isn't gear replacements it's new pay2win bs when we have a perfectly good spell trace system they could have improved instead.
The only redeeming factor is the 0 boom chance, and the high success rate (100% in this case). Of course this also introduces new cancerous min maxing insensitives through requirement to return scroll at $5 a pop to try to get the top end roll.
If that's not bad enough it's also buried in philo books. There's very few worthwhile items in philo and you are as likely to pull an X scroll from a single book as you are to profit from buying philos. Another naked money gouge.
But I am sure we'll be expected to keep forking out money for a 1% chance at a good reward, all while a certain server starting with R can just progress entirely for free.
TLDR: they're only really a problem because of the cost.
Can we get someone who actually plays the game at Nexon to look into this? We went from getting something from nearly every elite mob [regardless of time of day] to getting maybe 5% of the drops.
I may not be an English major but I'm fairly sure a 95% reduction does not fall under the definition of "slight decrease."
It’s Friday and that means it’s time to dump the bad news on our community while we at Nexon hide from the backlash until Monday. For the three of you that are still upset by Monday we look forward to discarding your feedback.
As you may recall in previous memeos we are unwilling to pay for an appropriate amount of server resources to support the small increase in spawn caused by kishin and furry totem, and for this reason we have removed frenzy totem from all future cash sales. It’s only fair. If you’d like to see frenzy totem return, or increased access to the new furry totem we’ll need at least half of you to quit. That should free up enough resources!
Next, it has come to our attention that the increased rate of obtaining rewards from elite monsters is no longer being applied. I know we said the higher drop rates were intentional, but I guess it’s not. Who knew? I guess you’ll just need to buy more NX if you want cubes.
Finally, a quick update on some of our long-standing issues. We still have no plan to allow gollux earrings and rings to be obtained beyond the single purchase limit. Just remake your character lol. Crafted cubes will continue to not be tradable. The materials are all tradable but you can’t trade the cube. Because. Reasons.
I look forwarding to seeing you in game. I’ll be afking in an event chair for coins. This is considered content.
Thanks,

There's a perfectly good scrolling system that uses spell traces. They could improve that instead of the inevitable wallet gouging that will follow this event.
