HUH? What
I dont understand much of what you are saying but its 1500 gold, at least be accurate.
As everyone is 1445 and Valtan HM and Argos give less gold, its harder for the people whose roster is below to 1490 to invest in these characters cause gold sources are more scarce. This gold nerf forces us to upgrade so we can access vykas and clown on this characters to make them profitable, which we did not have to do before.
On a side note, if you are not willing to add, argument, counter-argument or even add your own experience, I suggest you drop your attitude, I already saw many of your ¨contributions¨ in this forum and just don´t waste time, I am just sharing what the devs asked for in the survey.
Thank you for your thoughtful post, OP. 
It really is kind of barbaric, to screw over your “new” and “no hardcore / whale” players like that.
I have:
1575 main
5x 1450 alts
I have played Lost Ark every day, for a year, to have that kind of roster.
Yes, that’s a “cheap” roster, and allowed me to play some other games with my friends after a 40h work week from time to time, OH MY GOD! HOW DARE ME!
To push that roster to Clown or Brel or Brel HM, it would take me another whole year, to do that now.
Game get’s worse and worse, more gold nerfs are coming.
GG WP.
Thanks for nothing.

ITT: “it really sucks that you guys are releasing content for the vast population of players that have been playing since day 1. If only you’d give us 1540 alts to keep up…”
Alts are alts. Never were meant to keep up with your main. They’re there either cause you want to play multiple char and accept the associated cost, or you want them to earn you extra mats for your roster which takes time to recoup.
OP if you’ve been playing since day 1 and not 1540, there’s a problem and it’s not AGS/SGR’s.
Lemenex, you’re 1575. You’re done till akkan. Its not their responsibilities to help you push more character to that point. You either accept that there’s a cost sacrifice to make if you want more character leveled up, or you keep juicing your main. Can’t have it both ways.
None of this is barbaric. A friend of mine started playing again for Artist and their highest char was 1340. They’re 1480 already within 2 weeks. People are whinning about non existent issues just because they’re greedy and want more alt and gold lol
Not wanting to invest in your toons is a you problem…
If you exclude the bots, we’re already below 50k
a year? mate , your taking it too far, if you do things daily in months you get there, you can get a drop o a accesory thats worth a lot, sell it in the market and there u go , from there star doing it constantly, save the gold for what you need to do specificly , the important things its to put yourself one objective, for example mine was hone my striker to 1490 , did it yestarday and i was 1475 last week , i spend at least 40 k gold and didnt get pity. now that i’ve achive that, i need gems lvl 7 to replace the lvl 5 gems, once i get there i THINK i wont be gatekeeping of clown, and i still need the 5x3 engravings (i have 4x3) so… as you can see are very things to do, dont do it all at once cause with that in mind you’ll never get to do anything. good luckkk

I think most people are looking at this from the wrong angle. Especially vets. A new player starts today. In a week hes finished the stoty collected quite a bit of resources through the story express. Enables the hyper express takes his free power pass from vern and the one from punika. Finishes getting one character to 1445 works on the next one while either replaying the the story to save gold or uses the knowledge transfer to save time. Giving him enough time to finish the 2nd character to 1445. He now has 2 characters farming while bringing the 3rd one through the ranks. After 1 month it is completely reasonable to have 3-4 1145s without havving to spend any gold outside of fusion materials if he chooses not to burn through his life skipp energy. So while yes he lost 1500 gold from 1 characters income they are gaining the ability to get their roster wide substantially cheaper. Will they have a problem with gatekeeping? Yeah probably but thats only because people pretend to care about new players on the forums
The second it comes to in game life 99% of veteran players dont give a single flying fuck about them because its going to slow them down. Theres opportunities to be made for new players their progression will look different than the ogs that spent months and hundreds of thousands of gold to reach valtan hard by its release

And the OG’s are not responsible for these “NEW PLAYERS”. The gold nerf was intented to keep the money rolling for them.
No the gold nerf was to stop players from abusing valtan. Aint that the reason people would elect to skip either vykas or clown. People didnt do valtan because they loved it so much they did it because it took 10 minutes at most and paid the same as the other 2 legion raids. So if the ogs arent responsible for the new players why are you constantly complaining about the gold nerf. As an og you are not affected by it what so ever. Yet they are constantly complaining about it under the preface that they actually care about new players.
So its ok to waste everyone’s time, got it 
Abusing from what? It is literally less gold than doing Clown, it just less stress to do. If you are talking about bussing, even AGS/SG cant do shit about it and this GOLD NERF is not the best way to stop it.
The gold nerf should be fine if they did also removed the 3 Legion Raid restriction for each character. Without restriction, GIGACHADS who’s no-lifing Lost Ark can bus low level characters or “NEW PLAYERS” for cheap because of the competition in bus fee and eventually will be farming for mats only in the future.
Was it not?
You look at it as wasting time i look at it as being rewarded for your efforts. That explains why you cant stop crying about it and i go about my day as usual. Got it

Abusing the fact that it takes 5 minutes to do a raid and paid out the same as doing the following 2 raids that are far less forgiving. Its less gold now yes. Prior to the update both gave 4500 gold… the only thing that was different was the rewards from the last gate of clown have the potential to drop a class engraving book.
Whats wrong with this?
The same thing wrong with the adjusted gold for it. Absolutely nothing
Huh?
You asked what was wrong with valtan taking 5 minutes. Theres nothing wrong with it. Just like theres nothing wrong with reducing the gold for an activity that takes 5 minutes
Yeah and you gave a BS answer. So, explain it a little bit more.
He’s saying it makes no sense for an easy soloable raid to give same amount as vykas or clown. Just like it would make no sense for vykas to give same gold as Brel 1-6, or clown to give as much as brel hard 1-6. And so on.
