I gotta talk about something super frustrating. It's when high-ranked players make an Elyos into an Asmos account just to trade kills. Then Asmos make Elyos. It ruins the purpose of the game. How can we enjoy it if after just one month they pay for a Name Change Ticket and no one knows what they're up to?
1. Why are these guys still keeping their ranks?
2. Why do those of us ranked 9 to 1 have to suffer because of them?
3. What's the point of investing hours into gaming when this nonsense doesn't stop?
4. Why aren't these guys banned when they're clearly using the same IP Address?
5. Why hang onto players who do secret quests, only to later call others rude names?
6. Why do lower-ranked players suffer, unable to go through instances for better gear to actually enjoy the game?
7. Why open two instances and queue in arenas at the same time, maybe to match with their secondary account?
There's no improvement. I feel trapped in a rigged game (Tropico) rather than a Free to Play game (Aion). What's the point in spending in the Shop if these guys rule the game? Just so they can carry on with vulgarities? Is it like the Hunger Games, where the wealthy pit the poorer players against each other for fun?
To continue mocking players who just want a break from reality. What's the game's true purpose?
But hold up, while I was beta testing Aion Riftshade, I found hope. They've drastically reduced this nonsense with their strict server-side Anticheat and attentive GMs active in the Discord. They shut down these issues before they start. It's crazy better with Aion Riftshade's lowest ping across Europe and without the painful pay to win garbage. So that's where I'm putting my hours as we approach Q1 2026!
