95% repair is the most efficient anyway for high cost gear. Take a 56th 48th CRK pair; at Edern it's 170k x 2 a point, at Nerys it's a much more manageable 65k x 2 for 1 less percentage point. So with 95% you save over FOUR MILLION per 20 points of repair, and statistically you'll only fail one more time per 100 repairs than you would with 98% (because 5% fail chance / 2 = 2.5% but 97.5% chance gets rounded up to 98%), but you've saved 10m PER SWORD so you can easily buy a plat hammer to cover that loss.
What I mean is, an independent dev team, made up of domestic developers, answerable and accountable to NA version players and developed and managed for NA needs.
That would go a long way towards helping the game.
Giants arguably DIDNT need a revamp at all except to make WG/Stomp more useful. They were not in a bad spot compared to other races, maybe a bit behind humans in melee DPS but that was easy to fix (either slightly reduce FH % or buff giant Bash/Smash).
Personally Elves/Giants should have been purely cosmetic but the ship has long since sailed on that.
Pretty much every revamp Nexon has done with the exception of the magic revamp I'd call a failure from a balance perspective. Even the elf revamp just made hyperscaling range elves stronger while not doing much for anyone who doesn't want to use Elf Magnum.
I've always disagreed with Elf QQ but honestly they've had a point all along - not in terms of "elves are weak" but more that "elves are one dimensional". If you pick an elf you're pretty much locked into Magnum Shot because you're mediocre to trash at everything else. Now elves finally get something ELSE they're "best in class" in (even if it looks more like a utility skillset) and they can't even have that.
1: When a gacha is released, add a pattern to produce the rarest gacha items, with a relatively low drop rate from mid to endgame dungeons (let's say, 2% from Rabbie Phantasm, 10% from doing it solo, 1% from Mirror, 0.1% everywhere else.
2: Create fragmentation recipes for gacha items that produce common to mid-tier mats, with the occasional Seal Chain or Ancient Magic Powder.
There's a third step but it'd be HIGHLY controversial so I won't suggest it.
