    Recently I have noticed a lot of discontent among my group and others across the server in regards to the existing state of affairs. People are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the lack of progress and lack of information about progress on this server. The two hot button issues that I would like to talk about are Gachapon revamp/update and Weddings/Amoria PQ.


    Gachapon revamp/update
    Some time ago, changes to the Gachapon system were implemented in an attempt to balance the system and create availability for certain items that were incredibly hard to obtain, as they were only obtainable from Gachapon locations where no one gached because of significantly lower rates resulting in lower overall profit when compared to mushroom shrine.

    The general consensus among players is that it did not work as intended. The items that the market was lacking did become available, however, other desirable items and that were once readily available began to disappear. The disparity was merely displaced. The negative effects on the market were almost instantly visible. Gachapon now has a relatively low yield for desirable 30% scrolls, items, and Chaos/Whites scrolls. The market was left in a state of high demand and low supply, Resulting in inflation.

    All of this created a backlash from the community and eventually led us to this post on December 9, 2015.
    http://forum.maplelegends.com/index.php?threads/the-grand-gachapon-thread.6868/

    Option A2 received the most votes from the community, however, the staff chose to disregard the majority and implemented a different option (not listed) in a beta phase. Gachapon was left alone and silver 'Gachapon Ticket (Hunting)' was added to mob drops. Regardless of that, we all agreed that something needed to change.

    At the time of the first anniversary update, the Gachapon tickets obtained from mobs became unavailable as of April 1, 2016. With many people asking questions, some staff members alluded to the new system being scrapped entirely.

    The Gachapon revamp should be treated as a top priority. Having a stable and balanced economy is a very important factor and I believe it plays a massive role in wether or not this server will survive. The current Gachapon system is discouraging for everyone but most of all, it's especially discouraging for new players. Many people on this server and others servers share the similar opinion which is "Legends is shit now, the economy is fucked. It's too hard to scroll items due to the lack of scrolls and items."

    I don’t have a definitive answer for fixing the economy and I don’t expect you to have one either but we have to try something. The negative impact this has on the server only grows the longer it’s delayed.

    My first question is what’s happening with the Gachapon revamp?
    It would be greatly appreciated if you could give us a comprehensive answer, not something along the lines of "we can’t talk about that right now", "It's being worked on" or any other vague answer that leaves nothing to digest.


    Weddings/Amoria PQ
    Weddings/Amoria PQ are high the players priority list. It’s enjoyable content and something that we would very much like to see.

    As I understand it, Weddings/Amoria PQ have been on the staff’s list of priorities for quite some time now, in fact, it has been just over a year according to this post made by Navi dated April 23, 2015.

    This topic has resurfaced numerous times over the past year and there is still very little knowledge about its progress. Amoria PQ would not take very long to fix but Weddings are much more difficult according to this post made by Navi on May 29th, 2015

    It’s been just under a year since there was any official update on this matter and I feel like it’s time that we got some answers

    My second question is: Can we please get an update on wedding/Amoria PQ?
    I just want an honest answer as to what’s going on and a rough estimate on when we might expect its implementation.

    General update.
    As I mentioned before, very little is known about what is currently being worked on. It would be great to know what the Staff has planned so we can have something to look forward to. Some of us are worried that nothing is being worked on at all, especially after discovering that some members of the MapleLegends staff has become far more active on the forum of another private server than that of their own server.

    My third question is: Can we please get a general update on what is actively being worked on?
    Don’t be scared to give us some juicy details.

    Closing thoughts:
    It appears that numbers online are dropping steadily over time based upon my own personal observations. Players are leaving for other servers or becoming fed up with what’s going on here. I’ve spoken with many players over the past few weeks and most were worried about the server’s future.

    I understand that the Staff is busy and have put a great deal of effort into creating this server and keeping it running and I would like to thank the staff for doing so. I did not write this post with any intention of disrespecting or offending you, I’m just a deeply concerned player who wants to see MapleLegends thrive, not dwindle.
