Same here. Refresh button is greyed out, so I can't refresh traits.

Also, Rein and Nautilus achievements are stuck at like 20/20, but it won't register as completed.

Copied from Reddit. I haven't come on this forum in a while due to its layout, but figured this will raise more visibility.

The rest is copied from Reddit directly. I will be checking both, so please feel free to leave your comments.

About Me

For those of you who don't know, I am a ~~pleb~~ streamer, Youtuber, #4 Night Walker in GMS, and a guy who spends far too much time on this subreddit.
I have been playing this game since the original beta days, and I genuinely believe Reboot is the natural direction that this game would have taken, and I want to do whatever I can to help bring new players into the game and help them have fun! No MMO survives with no community, and this is just my way of trying to give back.

What Happened?
As you may be aware, meso farming has recently been, for all intents and purposes, removed from 99.9% of players, barring the few that have access to 225+ Kishin and endgame damage.

This would not have hurt as much if we had good alternatives to fall back on, like daily bossing and PoT farming.
That's why I want to help consolidate a list of all alternatives and start creating a guides for New Reboot players to diversify our meso income and make the game less monotonous while still progressing decently.

Next Steps
What are current and future viable alternatives to obtain meso and Nebulite Boxes?
Please give me any and all ideas that may come to mind! In addition, please provide the meso bag sizes dropped per mob in the maps listed, if you can.
A few to get y'all started:

Current Methods Left

Daily Boss Crystals (60 a week or ~300m a week at midgame funding)
Ursus 2x
Silent Crusade meso bags
Arcane River Farming with Meso Gear/pots/Kishin
Alien PQ/NLC questline for possible single Neb Boxes
Remake Kannas and meso gear/IA and keep around 150-170 to maintain meso rates by deliberately dying (potentially bannable)
Farming Pensalir Equips at maps like Goblins in Korean Follk Town to extract for Philosopher Stones (300k/ea)
Lv200 - Lv230 Kannas only: Dangerous Deep Sea 3, possible farming alternative
Ideas

Field Hunting

Daily dungeon, akin to Monster Park, for Mesos, Nebulites, and Cubes
Increase meso rates scaled proportionally to HP (even more than current scaling)
All mobs should drop Neb boxes, especially in Arcane River
Spell Traces sale price increase from 5k -> 50k to help new players
Increase meso/drop rate Reboot passive buff so normal gameplay rewards proper amounts of mesos for regular progression
Increase base spawn rate to match current Kishin’s rates to remove the need for second computer
Bosses / Dungeons / Misc.

Increase items' NPC value, particularly on lower-tier bosses (Zakum/HT/Hilla/RA)
Vastly increase the rates of tier-up / amount of Master Craftsman Cubes and Nebulites
Increase number of crystals you can NPC a week and remove meso penalty for being in a party

Dungeons / Misc.

Mini-game area for rare rewards like Nebulites
Allow crafting materials, like ores and crystals, to have a high resell value or some kind of trade-in system for cubes/nebs
Cubic/Chaos Blades should sell for ~5-10m each
Decrease the cost of the first __ amounts of cubes for a new account in Reboot
Party Quests give substantial amounts of mesos
Include 2x coupons in the starting Reboot box to further help fledgling players
Allow sale of Mysterious Meso Pouches in several shops (Gollux, Commerci, Root Abyss, etc.)

Thank you all, and I hope this will be an actual way to help us all come together and restore Reboot to a healthy community with fair, steady progression for everyone.
Together, we can revive Reboot despite Papa Nexon.

I love how nobody mentions Reboot in any of these posts, and how absolutely cancerous droplet farming already is for Reboot players.

You average 1 droplet/hr if you're lucky right now. That's over 240 hours for an Arcane weapon, not to mention the future release of the set will require even more.

After droplet nerf, it's estimated to be around 3-5 hrs for 1 droplet. That's potentially over 1 thousand hours! You'll be 250 before you even get over 100 at this rate.

That's WITH 200%+ drop gear.

1. Withholding information because it could aid hackers in avoiding detection is a pretty shallow excuse when there's already DOZENS of hackers avoiding detection. In the last 3 weeks, 4 botters have hit lv250 in Broa alone. Dozens more bot openly and for extended periods of time in any map they please.

2. Bans and ban appeals are btwn the investigations team and the individual, but the vast majority of the time there is no actual process here. The overwhelming majority of appeals follow a very simple and very frustrating pattern: Appeal the ban -> GM says you were banned for "x" and wont be unbanned -> player seeks evidence from GM that they actually did "x" -> GM refuses and tells them to stop sending tickets.

3. Transparency isn't the only issue in the bans process, there's several issues inherent in just the reporting process. Despite reporting several people with video evidence of them hacking on several different occasions, none of them were ever investigated. Many of the players who hacked and gave themselves dozens of skills in their beginner tab back in February are still playing right now as if they never did anything wrong, still with the same skills they hacked into their character. The fact that for 3 months absolutely nothing is done about something like this, and then you refuse to even acknowledge that you're aware it's going on or that you're working on SOMETHING is what players hate the most about this system.

ZomgNit has hit the nail on the head so well, it's scary. This is exactly why the players distrust Nexon's ban appeals process. The overwhelming number of people who openly hack and say "Nexon doesn't ban" and still continues to play just deepens that divide. We're not just talking about lv30 recreatable characters, but lv220+ people hacking in Arcane River for weeks on end.

In addition, the ban appeals process is so one-sided and non-communicative that "withholding evidence" from the public is only the last straw. We don't want you to share all the evidence with everyone, but to share the evidence with the people involved! Whether they individually choose to share is up to them, but so far, Nexon employees haven't even given the banned players the evidence they deserve to be able to contest.
