Feedback from an old returning player...

Salutaitons.
I'm Jack. You may know me in-game as "MarijuanaMan."
I stopped playing about a year ago because of some terrible balance issues, especially where Wonderland EXP grants were involved.

I returned to ToW a couple weeks ago.

Here's what I noticed:

The Good
*You guys FINALLY fixed the Wonderland EXP grants. It used to be that WC mobs were granting more XP than Wonderland bosses, which made no sense. Thanks for fixing this! It was my main reason for leaving and now that it's fixed, I'll probably stay for a long time.

*Server Merger was VERY necessary. The game world as a whole benefits from this because now it's much easier to find duels, groups, etc. Thank you.

*Adding set bonuses to the ring/ammy set was a good call too.

*I'm noticing a couple new pets and mounts.

The Bad
*The server merger also comes with an undesirable bug: If I want to delete characters I don't use anymore, it won't let me. Basically, if you EVER had 3 characters, you're stuck with them. It will not let you select a character after deleting one without un-deleting the one you just deleted. It's not game-breaking but it is annoying.

The Ugly
Okay... seriously... that SBMB "update" is nothing short of insane.
Consider the following:

1 SBMB = 10% chance. But we need to turn in 20 of them (if you do the math, it's equal to 200%) to get a measily 20% increase on just ONE.
And to get 50%, you basically need to trade in 400%'s worth of attempts.

The update is a good idea, in theory, but I think the price of admission is a bit too high. 7-10 SBMB for a 30% SBMB would be more fair. Especially since they aren't exactly common or even uncommon drops.

All-in-all, great job. Keep up the good work.

I like ur posetive insitcts but still u need to understand SBMB aint supposted to be easy. 20x skyblues and u get 1 for 30 % chance its up to u but i dont i really think 10x for 30 % is too little.

I know it's not supposed to be easy, sir.
I just didn't know you guys wanted to make it ridiculously more hard as well.

I will NEVER use that part of the game. Too expensive, too time-consuming (and that's IF you luck out on drops at all), too much of an obvious money-grab.
Just make beads available to donators and be done with it.
