    I don't understand why Enmasse nerfs events half way through? What is the big deal with having great drop/spawn rates from beginning to finish? It's rather irritating that you guys do this... Tera players have become accustomed to farming the crap out of every aspect of this game to either make money or to have enough materials for their gear and yet most of the time we fall short of this and can't get where we need to. New players are completely turned off by this game as a result of this. I legitimately feel sorry for every new player that comes into this game and has the patience to stick around. I have tried to pull in a handful of friends from other MMO's and they've all said two things "This game is p2w and expensive", and "It will take me forever to get money, and farm materials for gear". Every single one of them have quit after reaching level 65. In terms of this event...What kind of disadvantage is there for allowing great drop and spawn rates in events? You guys make money off these events it's not like you're losing out on them. So what is the big deal? and what is purpose behind nerfing spawn, and drop rates?

    I'm glad we get the original letter drop rate. However, I feel that the nerf to the letter drop rate was unnecessary as the rate was already low enough that in order to get the mount at 75 token you had to play hours upon hours of BAM IOD farming.

    I hear you. We don't talk percentages, but I will break that rule this one time. Just this one time.

    The percent for each letter was .05. It dropped to .03. I am changing it to .075 for each letter. I did not say it was returning to "the original letter drop rate". I said "a bit better than the previous drop rate".

    This is an example.. What again is the reason behind dropping it from it's original rate? What disadvantage do you guys get from allowing your players who invest a crap load of their time and money into your game to have a "reasonable" event? You guys are handing us scraps and it's getting tiresome.

    On another forum I read that it was 1 terron per channel.. In what world is the Enmasse staff living in? You realize there is a few hundred (could be more) people playing at the same time right? What kind of event is this? or are we playing the lottery?

    I agree. The only reason they nerfed it was because of the players posting about how many tokens they were getting, and how they were overfarming the event so early. That made EME nervous, so they nerfed the letter drop rate from the BAMs. If you want a good event, don't brag about how you're exploiting the event. There were even people bragging about how they were getting loads of letter off of one monster from the dragon book. When will people learn?

    Yeah no kidding.. but that was a small population of folks.. prob no more than 5% of the population. So the 95% population left gets the [filtered] end of the stick since Enmasse got scared and figured it was "too much". Now that the titans are gone today I went looking through several zones and did not even see ONE terron. After an hour of looking I gave up.. yet again another worthless world bam spawn event. I was hoping to get another 25 tokens before the end of this event so I can get a halo .. Looks like that won't be happening.

    Best way now is to farm BAMs. Trees are still out there, but they are so tough to find.
