Can you give me an official statistic about the player base so i can confirm this myself?
The big bottleneck are greater leapstones and gold not stones

Base on what i heard from another player that you (us) don’t spend enough time playing the game so you don’t deserve to be at end game.
I think so myself, i’m 1400 started 3 weeks late since launch, i’m not sweaty enough nor having a credit card. So they don’t help after 1370 i think because we don’t desvere it, most people play the game 6~8 hours a day, while others swipe thousands.
Actually EUC is maybee ready for Valtan, EUW isnt. I can say our cluster is something like 30ilvl behind. I play hard and i did hit 1400 three days ago. Most of others are around 1390. We still need these few weeks to catch up.
About events, we had so many, its fine for now. Can poeples stop crying for eveything ? Even the retards who used express on their main when it was clear everywhere it was to level an alt, and they still cry on forum like it wasnt their fault… Just play the damn game and doint bother to be first of last or whatever. The game is fantastic, community is pathetic.

Well…its hard to push honing, when you have no gold…and have to use mats to sell…for gold.
Also…need gold to push alts… in order to have more mats for honing.
Also…need gold to buy legendary accessories for 3331 engraving minimum or else no one will even accept you for Valtan. No point in pushing if gear sucks. And yes, my gear sucks.

Yeah answers like if you are not 1415 now means your doing it wrong all around. Most players that dont swipe and dont have much time for second full time job called lost ark have 2 options. Do some honings or sell all non bound mats for gold. Obviously many players are struggling with gold so they choose to sell mats instead of progress their own gear. And yes event like this one with guardian wont help at all cause you get crystals for only 1 honing chance per week and it gives no greater leapstones, how this suppose to help with ilvl?
Im not swiping too not because i cant but because im not gonna pay for all this bots running around, i would be glad to spend some money in this game but waiting untill bots situation is sorted out to do this. But you can clearly see that lack of greater leapstones injection and gold in the game is there to force you to swipe if you want to rush with ilvl because if you f2p you have only 2-3 honing chances per day, which most of it will fail anyway.

Kr got 7 events (separate from Ark Pass) in support of South Vern’s release. What do we have? T1/T2 express mission event and a bootleg version of the guardian raid event. In KR, the guardian raid event, aside from a bigger number of items you could exchange, you also could exchange those coing for big leapstones.

im 1470 ilvl im ready for all legion raids
What percentage of the player base do you think are at 1415 or higher? I would guess 5% or lower, being generous. How much of the population do you think are normal mode raid ready when a raid comes out in other mmos. I would say at least 50%. It is good for the whole community to have a large number of people there when new content releases. Having events that drop 1370 plus materials to help people get there faster so they can actually release content, instead of sitting on it and waiting, is a good thing. It does not devalue anything you or I did because it’s not like we can’t use those materials to push toward the hard mode or beyond. Imagine them coming out in a few weeks and saying we can’t release anything because our players aren’t there yet. The goal is to catch up to the Korean version not gatekeep entry level raids.

I wish we could see their data on where the players actually are. I can’t use my own progress as a metric anymore as I stopped at 1385 since it gave the T3 stronghold thing.
Because the players asked for this; asked to hold back content until they are ready. Players demand they don’t release anything, so they gave us an extra month to grind to be ready. They probably estimate that ‘enough’ players are on track to get to 1415 with this extra month of grinding, so they are just waiting it out instead of giving us too many materials.
I estimate we probably get a lot more resources if we stayed on track and asked for resources to help us keep pace instead of delays.
Good on them, but I don’t think LA should be the type of game that waits for 50% of players to be content ready. Other games might release an update once or twice a year… LA release major content updates at a lot higher rate. Even in KR, probably less than 20% of players are doing end game raids, and that’s been out for quite a while.
If you want to wait for 20% of the population to get to 1415 naturally with no help we will be waiting 3 more months for new content, I would actually like to play the game, It hurts no one to have the events drop more materials and great honor leapstones.

It hurts no one yes. But I implied nothing about 3 more months. Let me quote it for you…
We probably approaching the amount they want to meet the May release, so it could make sense that we are not seeing generous resources flowing in.
I’m not sure why you are so intent on making sure 95% of the player base can’t do new content when it releases. Is it not better for the game to have a large number of people able to do entry level content. Should it not be the goal of the game to close the gap between this version and the Korean version, If they ever want to get there they will need to help people push through content. Or is it your goal to progress at the same rate as Korea (which they complained was too fast) and never catch up.
I’m intent on nothing. In a perfect world everyone can do it, and I’m fine with that. Even if no one can do it, it technically doesn’t hurt anyone. Just hurts players mentally because of fomo. We can give our inputs, but it’s not exactly my place or your place to decide how many players should be able to participate on content release. Each game is different. It’s unreasonable to use other game, especially with different cadences, as a guideline.
200% agree with this. I believe entry level content for this game should be Valtan NM. I also highly push for them to get players in there on many threads, both new and current players. After that point would be more a upwards climb with a pyramid scheme progression and release shouldn’t be as heavily dictated by player progression.
And I agree that we should speed up and not continue to delay content more than we already have. But as I stated, if they believe we already have ‘enough’ players at that point, it’s not unreasonable that they are not throwing too many resources at us.
If they give a lot of greater honor leapstones it’ll just add a large gap of ilvl between casual and hardcore.
Everyday hardcore players are getting 30-40+ greater honors before even weekly sources kicks in.
Thanks to current events after reset, I could push from 1400 to 1400,83 and wasted thousands of gold in the process. Yeeeey

If “release shouldn’t be as heavily dictated by player progression” then what shoud it be dictated by? They can not just choose a random number right?
because they dont care is that simple ive been struggleing for fat leapstones above 1400 not gold cus i play the market a bit in the start whent things use to worth something.
