Stop giving me "etc is one clan , just start on this server and try to catch up with them" blablabla. This is a 30X server, which means there is a HUGE gap between people starting now and people that started 2 months ago .
A 5X-7X , even 3X would be awesome if the drop/spoil/quest rates would be ok, and they don't fuck the economy up.
First of all it would take an extremely long time to reach the cap , which means you always got something to play for. Secondly, if correctly advertised it would bring the low rate hardcore players on it. Most people that are good at this game don't like anything that's higher than 10X .
I'm not debating whether ETC will be on top or not, they probably will, since they got the most experience in this chronicle, but at least they would have some COMPETITION. I don't understand why they are running away from it.
