1.) The durability is there to add more realism to the game. Also to make it to where you need to actually think of how you wanna take a situation.
Obviously if you are doing a easy shadow mission, you shouldnt use high equipment. As even with trash you'd 1 hit everything.

Players can fix this with a small easy fix called beginners weapons. These weapons cost only 1 gold to repair a point.You can use them for training/doing easy stuff.
Players who are much higher don't need to worry though. As when you are high, it becomes more obvious how easy gold is to make. Though even when you are low it is still easy. Doing saga on daily days give you 30k, you have 9 possible character slots starting out as a new account, that's 270k a day You can just do ep 7 evey day and open it on it's daily days.

Selling drops like fine/st leathers will make it so you can make some side money. Also selling stacks of holy water will also be good for money. These are three things newbies can do. Not to mention there's even more. Even if we had someone who wanted to specifically do shadow missions, then all you have to do is make friends to do the missions with and they instantly become 10 times easier.

2.) The style tab is a feature to help them make money. It's a convenience thing. Wanna look good while you have your good stats? Gotta give up dem rl dollarydoos.
A lot of games have a second section of the inventory that is only for purchase. Be happy mabi gives you a chance to earn it, as they are not obligated to do so. Also, when you get high enough there's very rarely a thing that you NEED battle gear for. The amount of times on my main that I switch to my good gear is maybe only 10% of my mabi time.

Let's not all dump on someone for suggesting limiting access to Iria. Instead of focusing on that let's look at the heart of what they are proposing, which is to make VIP a tangible advantage rather than more-or-less a collection of convenient services. Although they didn't say it, I suspect they mean to do so and keep the price of it the same which would create greater demand for the product. Maybe there are ideas to do that which won't make people upset?

Their proposed idea was literally to make the game pay to win (Read: P2P Disguised as F2P). Of course people are going to dump on it. Just like if the company implemented it their loyal playerbase would most likely leave, and dump on it.

This is the whole point of people posting ideas, they post, and people comment either negatively or positively. This gives the company an idea on what ideas are worth discussing or not.
most people who suggested something here suggested revamping VIP, nobodies disagreeing with that. What people are dumping on is the way that person suggested.

Make Dan skills, homesteads, and Iria VIP only. Yes, Pay2win. It's the only way to generate enough money to rewrite the game from scratch, because I hear the existing code is very difficult to modify.

Alternative 2, gofundme or kickstarter to rewrite Mabi code.

I'm hoping your post is sarcasm... O_o

The suggestion is based on Runescape's successful free/member content divide, which brought in enough money for runescape to be rewritten twice and still continues to get client rewrites.

It went from this

To this, which is starting to get very close to Mabi

Does anyone really need Iria? The exploration skills, exploration levels, Iria sagas, Magic Craft and Engineering, and Iria content should be for paying customers. Free players can enjoy Uladh, which is already mostly a complete gameplay experience. Ok, making homesteads VIP only may be too much. Maybe just limit free homesteads to level 10 and make homestead housing VIP only. Squires? 3 for free, 5 for VIP.

What you're basically suggesting is we limit players to 2008 mabinogi standards. But with some player have 2018 content. (sure they'd have more talents to do, but theres also several skills that can't be leveled if you dont go to iria. Including final hit. One of the strongest moves for humans, the one race f2p players would be able to use!)

I personally would quit fully after 10 years if they did this.

So basically people complain about a 2 hr afk event

and so nexon screeches "Hold my beer!" as they enact another afk event.

item 2b) As for the game being unwelcoming to new players, I bid to differ, and put forth it has never been better to them than now:
- the unlearned tab helps them a ton,
- you start with a reasonably good weapon, rather than a substandard pseudo spirit weapon.
- the combat lessons actually teach you a VERY good combo: normal/counter/defend -repeat
.

Plus free pets, a book that lets you travel anywhere completely for free. Other goodies like decent looking outfits.

Not to mention mabi being a game where total level in the end is kind of meaningless. Just sorta a number to epeen about.
7 starting character cards + 2 from siding with giant and elves, giving you 9 character cards. That means 9 bank tabs, and if you wanted to do the work, 9 pegasus from sagas, allowing you to effectively pet spam most things.

Speaking of inventory space, a free bag for new players.

Mabi is a game about stats, as long as a newer player builds stats well in that first 1k levels, they will have no problem. Not to mention atleast in alexina all the 10k+ who are willing to help just about anyone.
