This statements made about Boruta and its success or relative functionality are disingenuous. To suggest IMC has been trying hard and been ‘relatively successful’ in providing ‘a stable environment for large-scale PVP’ is way off the mark. IMC has been fighting an uphill battle to improve server and client stability since 2016. While we may have gone from an unstable 5-15FPS to an unstable 30-100FPS in town, this improvement doesn’t hold up in Boruta. It is right back to unstable 5-15FPS and that isn’t even the largest concern regarding the content.
Another statement was made earlier in the same Popolion Post regarding Boruta. “GVG raid has been altered…to prevent… as much as possible, the larger guilds from monopolizing the content.” They go on to say “new Seal equipment will also be available through features that will be added later on.”
In the meantime, everyone can just suffer I suppose as there is no way to obtain them if you are not willing to buy from the guild that has held rank 1 for 10 weeks straight. ‘This will be addressed eventually’ is not a good answer to people who are suffering now. Letting substantial changes take the already 10 weeks plus the 6 or so weeks we are behind Ktos means a minimum of 4 months from the time Boruta landed to seeing what might, and probably won’t be an adequate fix.
Removing contribution from PvP doesn’t incentivize PVP which is an already failed part of Boruta. Only thing that changes is Rank 2/3 can’t afk anymore; they might actually have to pay Rank 1 for a chance to whack the dragon once or twice.
IMC since you claim to be listening and receptive- the forums have spoken without end since week 1 about how it was a ‘private instance.’ Nothing has changed and nothing is going to change. Rework the content from the ground up or scrap it as it is not achieving any of its goals; gvg, pvp, rewarding for individuals (within x% of contributors). Do not waste half of your 2019 resources/time trying to fix this when you could put it towards new and better content.
