This is what I don't understand: I'm not a fan of Gree, but the forumites need to be more consistent with their complaining. When they boosted the unit stats, people complained that it widened the gap between gem spenders and free players. (Which I agree with.)
Now, however, they did NOT boost the unit stats from the auction events, which are predominately won by gem spenders, and people complain that it's not worth the money. You can't have it both ways. This is actually a step in the right direction: lessening the gap between free and heavy gem spenders.
While I understand that Gree needs to have differentiated products in order to earn a profit, the gap at the highest levels (ie where the auction event winners normally are) the gap is simply too large for anyone not named Bill Gates or a relative to ever want to be. The gap is simply too large (on the order of 50% to 100% better) rather than the 20% or so it really should be at.
Takeaway message: think about what you are complaining about, on the off chance you are heard.
Also, on the off chance that this post is heard: boost weapons and armor by the same amount, please. It's really criminal what you did with that, because the people it hurts the most are the ones who've been playing the longest and spent a lot of time and effort purchasing those items differentiating their kingdoms, only to have you devalue that effort in one fell swoop on the order of 20-30% by failing to boost them.
