Timed runs can be realy stressing, kill exact number, run fast, kill fast....I never done but I admire those guys. So stop that stupid crying and start working if you realy want to be ackowledge there.
Second, Timers:
-As far as I know they have been there for a long time and have been turned off due to the lag/dcs that were ocurring during last Halloween event. But again, let me ask, Overweightank for example, Im your guildmate and I never saw you runing a single elite map, and when I say elite I mean the hard ones, Shuyal, Tindirim, Planar Tombs. And dont give me that equip bs coz I have seen your stats and you should be perfectly capable at runing those maps. I dont know Obee but I believe in what Shiny said.
Finally, economy:
-If you guys realy think that timers and elite loot will fix/solve anything you are plain simple wrong. Economy issues are much broader than simple elite runs. There is no pure gold entering game besides the low amount generated by poping locks. Since plat farmers are gonne (mostly at least), gold stoped being introduced on market, thats one of the most important reasons that makes prices reaching a new low. If STS dont fix this issue, soon enough all deals will be trade based on items, no gold involved coz there will be simply no gold left in game.
Now lets go over your sugestions:
Give people three times to rejoin the map. They must be in the party.
So, how will u control scaling exploit? Make a PT of 3 rogues, 1 mage, initialy let one rogue out, 3 of them clean the map real fast and last rogue join on boss....or make it a warr if u want....so many ways to exploit this....
If a party chooses to turn the timer off, the map will be scaled to 4 people at all times. It's to remove the exploits.
Why the hell would someone turn the timers off then? Imagine you have a pt of 1 warr and 2 rogues and they cand find the last member, would you realy think that they would chose to run non-timed? What diference it makes to you if its timed or not since you are not going to lb? Actualy I think it should always be timed. That way you can compare tactics and gear effects on your runs and decide which is the best to employ.
The elite leaderboard should be removed and it should be replaced with a better idea. The same people win it each time, and I think STS should start expanding it to a bigger population.
Elites are suposed to be elites and nowadays, all timed runs leaderboards are the only ones deserving some kcnowledge due to pvp kill farming and pve bot farming.
STS should start conducting server tests every week to test the servers.
Well....this one...you are probably young or not an IT worker, but let me say this, if they didnt have any way of measuring server performance and capability in any due time, the game would be exclusively played in USA, most probably in the state where they have the servers.
Loot should be automatically binded to a character if they want to run without the timers. This means that these players will not be able to trade, give, or sell it in auction. This will prevent the elite market from crashing.
This defeats the whole purpose of runing elites, which is to have access to better loot.
Ill make some of Shiny words my own. First time I run an Elite I was so nab and so undergeared that I spent most of the time dead...I made that my goal, to learn how to run elites, and back when I started learning I didnt have realy good gear....that came after. I know gear makes a huge diff, but one step at a time. Im not preventing anyone from runing elites with my statements. Im just saying that if you wanna run, you must first work your a** off to develop skills and gather gold for equip.
