Part of me feels like an answer to this would be to create a new variant of the dungeons (using special passes to get into these variants) where there are 8 chests at the end. This would also be an indirect way to do something about drop rates while also eliminating any potential use for someone to bring mules along.

Nexon should just do what Valve did with CSGO.

Newbie accounts being restricted from events and content until certain months, buy a premium item, have friends, finish Chapters, and/or Talent Levels. Sorry, you can't run this dungeon/mission event with a limited account.

Timeframe Restriction? Probably add another restriction.
Buying Premium Item? Let it be equal to 10 USD. This proves this user is a legit user. Not getting technical with the Card number being the same on multiple accounts being flagged.
Have Friends? Likely users with actual activity. Anyone caught with bot as a friend should be under watch. Heck, being a guild also should have a GM investigate them.
Finish chapters? Easy to put restriction. Complete Chapter 1 and 2. Then you will unlock the game. Not much people have the patience to run story content.
Talent Levels? Probably more than just Master Talent. How about Grandmaster titles?

I'm sorry newbies. But this is why the expression "Why we can't have nice things" exists.
I compared the mules and the mulers as smugglers- like smugglers, these items are dirty and obtained illegally.

There should be a GM who polices with an Iron Fist but has restraint to not be oppressive. Mules? Kicked. Muler? Flagged and kicked. Still doing more? Tempban. Still muleing? Ban.

I agree with both Timeframe and Game Progression restrictions.

As for banning people who have additional accounts to hold stuff, I don't quite agree with it. While yes it can solve plenty of issues, there are people out there who collect mementos over time (like event items). Next, nexon is often doing things that would help out with inventory by adding bags and increasing how much space they have over time as well as stuff like dressing room being added and updated. This means they acknowledge the need for expanding inventory space as a constant issue. Mule accounts can help alleviate part of this issue. This is why I agree with both Timeframe and Game Progression. You can't just pop out a new account/alt to abuse an event or something, and you have to put in a good bit of time (For Mabi, I would say at minimal the first 3 generations, but feel completion of up to Saga 1 or Saga 2 would be best...unless you make cut-scenes and that unskippable the first time around, heheheh.).

First of all, I would like to point out how you were pretty much saying someone is evil for having put a poll to get people's opinions with their options for the poll being Yes or No.

You have posted a poll doing the same. EXCEPT your options for your poll is:

1) You agree with me.
OR
2) You are a terrible person.

As for shared goals to unlock stuff for the server, I do agree with that as it will get people to cooperate with eachother more and would add a really nice touch to an MMO.

I can back up your plead on changing requirements that depend on hardware, since I have low end systems and feel the bitterness of being excluded on basis of poverty. but not on requirements that depend on randomness, specially on systems that should be optional or additional.

Maybe it's just a lesson in life: only the wealthy and favored by luck advance. But I think I have enough 'lessons in life' from life itself to also have them on my scapism method.

There's one thing I do hate though, and it's to call for a poll in an attempt to put pressure on the ones in charge, no matter how much abuse of power or indolence they exercise. A poll should be called when it's creator is interested in the OPINION of the participants, not just to recruit an army for your own DEVIOUS purposes, otherwise, you're not better than the evil you're fighting against.

Luck is a real life thing (you even acknowledge this buy saying "only the wealthy favored BY LUCK") and sometimes you are just stuck with bad luck. I've seen people with an average of like 40 or so runs to get X, while others tend to get it with an average of around 20. So from what you said about changing requirements only on hardware stuff but not changing requirements that depend on randomness is pretty much giving those people with bad luck a middle finger and going "OH well, too bad. Lol". And wealth/money is easier to control than one's luck. You can buy a better computer and so on, but you can't buy better luck. So there is more reason to work on the randomness than focus on hardware as it will have an effect on more players rather than some small portion.

As for the issue with your issue about the poll, it is a quicker and easier way to give feedback from the mass. Instead of reading through THOUSANDS of comments to see how many feel one way or another, you can look at one poll and have your numbers. From what you are saying, we should not be voicing any feedback unless asked. But then it becomes a matter of them even asking for feedback and even showing they have interest which they may just forgo. If you really feel this way, then I take it you never speak unless asked, as that is essentially what you are saying needs to be happening to all the players.

"Your not better than the evil you're fighting against"....and silence is the answer to it all? From what you are saying, do not argue or question the evil, just accept it. And you want to talk about being evil via a poll...

Not only did you show hypocrisy by doing a poll yourself, but you also put down as the choices for the poll to be:

1) You agree with me
OR
2) You are a person

As for dan tests....uuugggh.
Definitely needs a revamp. Having requirements for getting crits to have enough points to pass? The hell did you get hit upside the head with to think that was a good idea?
Fix your stats and skills to nerf ya? Again, not a good idea cause it increases the issue with some of the requirements (like damage).

You are not testing the player, you are having the player play a character YOU made. I think what they need to do is change it to be more like grandmaster questing but with some increased difficulty (ie - instead of just making an item, it has to have X quality to it). So that way it actually tests your character (as in YOUR character), while also helping remove the heavy necessity for luck with some stuff since you won't have to deal with a time limit.
