The Never-Ending Cycle

I came across this found out its gear bonuses as well as anything else positive it had to offer on the JP server.

Forgive me if the person I drew the translation wrong from, but from what he said the whole set gave the following bonuses: +70% xp, +200% hp and mp recovery, -50% hp and mp costs of all skills, and +30% xp to demons.(feel free to correct me)

Now stop and think for a moment. Think about the AP price of the current things we have and the current sets we have in the US server. Hell, the roping scarf is 5k ap and that is just 1 item alone. How much do you think THIS set will be when it hits our server?

The thing I don't like about this game, is that it's all about "the latest gear" or the "best gear" and the problem is, there will NEVER be the "best" gear, because in order for Aeria + Cave to make money and keep it's players, is to constantly give out a better set, to constantly make people chase to be better, to constantly make us chase after such epic gears such as this knowing that withing a few weeks to a few months, something better will come out and we will repeat this process again.

Take a look at that gear bonus above, 70% xp gain. with the few xp gain items we already have in this server, you could make it 100% and stack it with x3 or x5. Reaching lvl 93 seems almost more like an obstacle then a accomplishment. How about all those hard working people like Theena, Demongirl666, and the latest addition, Royce who obtained their lvl the hard way? You will reach lvl 93 faster then these people did and then what? you power-leveled and missed the whole experience and journey of getting there, you have ruined the game for yourself, and more importantly, CAVE helped you do it. Eventually, people will get tired of trying to be the best, tired of trying to have the latest gear, and tired of the game itself. This is what I think that's partially killing the game.

It won't stop here, they will keep making better and more epic sets and items and clothing, ect, ect. Constantly making our characters more epic then we need them to even be. I'm not saying what they are doing is absolutely ludicrous, but there has to be a limit on how far can you go with our gear bonuses. I think our server is already better then the JP server despite the gear they have. We've managed to do 4 kings, ichi 108 deep, and I am 100% positive when celu gold hits our server, we will breeze through that like a walk in the park with the gear we have currently. We already have proven that we can do all this without such epic gears, maybe having such gears will of course make it easier and faster to kill, but less challenging.

Maybe CAVE should take 1 step back, and look at what they are doing. Stop focusing on the gear, give us new demons, extend the storyline, they want to make money off the game they created, how will you guys do that if there's no one left interested in playing?
