Well, it's way too complicated ... i can't stop myself from comparing Eternian to Eternion in general. It's cool you guys doubled the stats gained from donating compared to Eternion, but this brought problems. Reducing the stats on non-vip / vip gear is the worst thing you can do i believe. Setting a limit on purchased stats is pretty pointless as well. One solution is that high donors should not help non-vip players that much (though i don't think this will work). Because it lets them farm up fast and then they have nothing to do so they leave ... The second solution and the best so far i believe is to buff the mobs in every instance instead of nerfing, so it will take more time to farm as it was on eternion. As for new content, you can add instances where mobs drop gear / weapons instead of materials so this can bring an alternative options to farm. Let the X IW be the last upgrade for this gear. Add something weaker than IW but still useful. I have no clue you guys understand what i mean or not but this could work really very well.
