Fang upgrade success rate and Papaya communication in general
The issue of the current failure rate of Karon's Fang
upgrade has prompted me to raise the subject of Papaya’s communication. Players
have either spent days in game grinding or an incredible amount of real money
trying to get this item to the top level and the lack of success has resulted
in a level of player discontent I haven’t seen in all my time with this game (since
the days of 2moons).
It is simply wrong to expect a player base to give so much
without reward for time and money spent. The item has a success rate so low some
suspect it to be bugged but despite these concerns, there has been no comment
from Papaya. Because of this players are leaving and there is a real possibility
more will stop paying and playing. Surely Papaya wants to do something to address
this before it’s too late? The current situation is unsustainable and I don’t
think players will put up with it much longer.
A while back, Gismo started the ‘Free to Play’ open topic to
ask what players’ thoughts were in an attempt to increase players enjoyment of
the game but even though it was a decent idea and some good suggestions made, the
whole thing seems to be dead in the water, again due to the lack of any
response.
In another thread, someone on the player side with extensive
experience in managing games and GM, DEV and player interaction has offered to
act as a 'player communications liaison' and provide updates advice to Papaya. This
seems a good idea to me and would help address the current communication gap,
but it needs someone on the game's team willing to listen, respond and actually
have the ability to do something about it, not just passing it to a Dev team.
Even if this is not taken forward, at the very least, the players need
communication of some sort through the forums, perhaps a Q&A section with
an active GM.?
Over to you Papaya…

I stopped logging into game since i spent 12b and over 22 tries on trying to max my fking Mitera bright TEAR, talk about fang ... thats a far off dream for me sooo yeah.
Papaya, stop butchering the playerbase and community and do something costructive for us you greedy asians ... (totaly worth the bann)
Nothing to do in game ... stop it with the Dshop and the freaking SEEDS FARMING events cuz we are soooooo sick of it, id rather cut my dik and listen to a Jehova Witness than farm another seed... listen to your freaking costumers or lose your money hoes.
It's not a good image for the company and the game when negativity is the only thing new players will see when they check out what the community has to say.
It's time to fix it before it's too late. This game still has plenty of potential.

If you're going to host an event like this, there has to be a FAIR chance for participating players to achieve the final item within the time frame of the event. The point of having an item event is OBTAINING that item. If you're going to deny 99% of the players that played hard, and fair for it, then you're completely out of touch with how to run a game anymore.
The fail rate wouldn't be so bad if it didn't require 100, 200 and 300 pieces per try.on the fang. Half that would have been much more tolerable.
