Side note, can we get a GM in here? OP has been harassing these players for three threads over several days now. They have baseless claims for nearly everything they've said, and are just actively witch hunting. This has to be against forum rules, no? The glitch that had been discovered has been patched up and the GM's already resolved the situation regarding that. It is not up to this person here to keep attacking and slandering them.

@Laep He read it out of a paper bag in a hill where no one could see him.

'Fake.' Lol. Where is your evidence that is fake? I've seen them run. I've literally read every single post in each asinine thread you've made. Those people could get first place in rankings pretty much every week if they wanted to. I bet the only reason they were even doing the exploit was just to see how much higher they'd be able to boost their score. They were already at the top, and no one would be able to pass them regardless. If there were a way to run it in a private server esque way, they likely would have, but as they have no means of doing such things, that really isn't an option. Is it not a manner of speedrunners/TA'ers to make the best use of every game exploit available to them to obtain their highest scores? That exploit was there, and it became known. What is the issue? They're getting 1st in every leaderboard right now after the exploit is fixed, no? They were first pretty much every week prior, too. It's not a trainer. It's them investing their personal experiences into the mode. Stop harassing them and killing the challenge mode community any further, you're a tick on the game mode.

Any time they didn't get first was a week they weren't actively trying, or a week where actual cheaters that you seem to actively ignore hogged the top placements. Funny how you just seem to have amnesia of every one of those instances.

I've read all the threads. You realize these people were trying to hit max score possible even before the exploit was discovered? They've been optimizing their runs more and more for over a year. Yet you keep crying foul because you refuse to put in equal or greater effort than they have.

OP, have you tried getting good? Optimizing runs? Figuring out monster prioritization and positioning per area? If not, maybe you should give that a shot instead of instigating more witch hunts on players that have been trying to make cm more popular to run rather than actively encourage its death by calling out those better than you to be cheaters.

Pricing needs an overhaul, some restrictions behind premium should be removed, gathering should be given more reserves (I understand it's meant to deter botters, but the limits are small enough to deter practical participation as well). Imo pricing for the largest pack should be capped around $20.

Imo premium shouldn't exist, and neither should there be a split between AC and Star Gems, tbh, but they're there and won't go away. There's plenty in the game that'd motivate people to pay into it, but the pricing scares away many of those impulses. When I play League, for example. I could spend $100 on RP and buy a stupid amount of skins via mystery skins, heavy discounts, or what have you. In PSO2 you can spend $100 and get... 8 rare drop boosters? Sure, 400% but that's not realistic monetary value to most of us.

I'd rather have those extraneous boosts be locked behind high tier participation in events rather than a high value cash lock. Leave the gamebreaking consumables behind performance, player market, and limited events. As encouragement to play the game rather than incentive to continue. Honestly, most of the things available for purchase in the AC or SG shop are just jokes. One-use pickaxes and fishing poles for absurd amounts relative to the $ paid into it?

I would like to spend money on the game, but as it stands I won't be willing to pay in more than I have, unless the current pricing and monetization structure is given some sincere thought in an overhaul.

Please permit the game to scan the player's various banks when needing grinders, enhancement materials, gathered resources, etc. It gets pretty tedious when you see you have 0 of stuff, and need to scroll through your entire bank to see if you have the stuff, forgotten how much of it you needed, grab it all, see you're like two short, bank it, and continue on.

If anyone in here played PSO2 on jp servers for any time at all, you'd know why people want the height restrictions removed. So that they can once again witness dozens of min height characters dressed in suggestive clothes erping in the lobby. Anyone that denies that being an extremely regular thing either never played for longer than a few hours on JP over these past several years, or are lying.

I only ever received the intial login bonus halo from the beta, despite having participated in several urgent quests, myself. Shame, because I'd like to have the Dreamcast mag. Hoping that March 31 bit is right.
