Yes. We cater both extreme of two types of extreme models. One that always AFK waiting (2 weeks model) for BG/WoE and one that's always farming MVP non-stop (1-hour model). Of course, those who are actually placing more efforts will reap the better rewards, that comes without saying.
What do you mean AFK waiting? In what world is BGing and WoEing less effort than asuraing 1 MvP every 10 seconds? Saying things like that shows how completely out of touch you are with the majority of the playerbase on which this server was built upon (PvP,WoE)
While BG provides the fun that you're looking for by killing each other it will take a longer time to obtain the said equipments. Killing the MVP although it was relatively easier, you will be filled with boredom and the wall of RNG that is against you. The aim of implementing these is to bring the balance between both environments, PvP and PvM. If it is necessary to tune these value due to the outcome of the implementation, that's something that we will eventually do. As I am aware that this server playerbase is mostly PvP and WoE, if the average people could have access to all equipment within a week will the implementation of the permanent beginner equipment will be moot.
Talking about what you want to do doesn't tell anyone how you are going to achieve it.
There is no balance to both environments with your statements, sitting and killing the MVPs is infinitely better than sitting and playing BG and putting thoughts into your actions. There's no settlement or middle ground that I can see here. All I can see is you saying "sorry but we like it this way so it's staying that way." I see nothing about compromising with the player influx that's about to come in.

Currently I'm just provisionally in the team and it will be reviewed again a month after the server has launched. When my position is fixed, it will be more transparent than this.
In what world is this system easier than a tombstone? Do you not understand that having a tombstone will let people know when EXACTLY the window opens for the MVP to spawn. This PvP system while good should co-exist with the tombstones. Removing tombstones infinitely makes it easier for 1 person or group to COMPLETELY hoard the valuable MVPs.
I'm not disagreeing with the fact that the new donation shop is healthier for the server it's the fact that there's barely anything in it to even entice people to donate.
It's easier because the person who wants to hoard the MvP's doesn't have a literal clock telling him what time to come. Any time the server restarts, they can't just go to the clock and see what time to show up. I never said it's perfect, but i have a hard time saying that giving someone stop watch makes it harder to time things.
I 100% agree that there could/should be more incentive to donate, i was specifying specifically when it comes to cards it doesn't matter THAT much when its not used enough to matter anyway.
Then pardon me as English is not my main language. I will try to be much more specific in the future. In this case, it would be the cost of each loot boxes, amount of BG distribution and loot boxes drop rate.
You know that guy wanting to hoard mvps has the literal clock regardless of the tomb being available or not.
The tombstones literally do not apply to the people that try and hoard the MVPs, the tombstones are there for the newer players to know when exactly a high value MVP is coming up. Here's an example of a timer that people use.
If it were possible for a single person to be awake and on bRO 24/7 i would agree with you. But considering that people sleep, work, go to school and the server shuts down occasionally. It should reasonably be possible to lose track of an MvP's times. It should reduce the ability to hoard. Once again: I have a hard time saying that providing someone with a clock makes it harder to time things. Just my 2 centz.
Did you not read my previous posts? Because I've specifically said 1 person or group can completely hoard the high value MVPs. I don't think you're getting the point here. Explain to me how the new players are supposed to get their MVP cards when there's no tombstones? You'll probably say buy it from the players but how? Hunt zeny? No because as of right now there's no use for zeny. War Badges? Good luck getting the amount you need since you'll be a sitting duck in BG with the beginner equips. Especially since the hoarders will be the one setting the prices since they will have full monopoly on the MVPs.
