The connectedness of dilemmas.

That's what I meant by adjusting the items. Basically getting rid of Enchanting Armor and Prepping weapons, so that the only thing that matters is what the weapon has to begin with. There'd be no use for prepping weapons if a person's armor couldn't skyrocket.

Resetting weapons and armour to +0 i agree is the key here. It would also expand the amount of items and weapons people would use based on style rather then strength. Since the differences between weapons and armour would be so little, less people would be using the PMoP+12/FID prepped ogma+9/FHoM+12 combo that EVERYONE uses. Might spice up the game a bit is what I mean (and make adding new content such as armours, weapons, shields, and helmets more useful as people will actually USE them)

Asking for more content (in terms of items) is not really such a wise idea right now, I think.

I didnt necessarily mean that we should add more items as of now, it just would increase the popularity of less used items now, and eventually might lead to the call for more content with a more...reasonable purpose. As of right now, the content for making yourself look different from everyone else is limited at best. People specifically buy old miths so that they can glitch them to be invisible and make them sleeveless and whatnot. People are desperate to get away from the norm. Also, check other threads such as rickys which suggests that bracers be visible on the character (a tough to attain goal, considering bracers in general are quite rare.) and someone elses (I can't remember who's exactly) who suggested the addition of cloaks or capes, which would be more attainable and simply for aesthetics. These are really great ideas in my opinion.

-edit-
Bosh's cape idea
Ricky's bracer idea

There needs to be a dedication to revamping the system GK is based on. As it is now, there's far too many flaws in it to expect a fair played experiance. Based on the suggestions of Draenin, I think it could be possible to introduce a deeper more colorful array of monsters, as well as a re-worked EXP table that doesn't render the same 1-sided 'impossible to level without a glitch' view to every player.

Let's face it, maps are a bad idea. They give 100k to a level 40, and they cost 2k-3k plat for decent ones? Depending on the idea of 'endless grind' or 'dedication to the game', you could point out cons and pros of the difficulty of leveling; had their been no abuseable bugs or ingress corruption. But when a world is left to freeform navigate and evolve, especially one as flawed as GK, we come to a turning point where things are so pointless that the 'fear' of GK becomes it's weak point; whereas for the ones invoking fear it is joyous.

Balancing EXP levels, EXP from monsters, and content update would be your most important issues; while K-Mode / Kingdom Wars are also a problem, you can isolate the MAIN problem of wars by balancing EXP to a fair state rather then enforcing a 'fair' battling mode that makes hard work and dedication obsolete.

That's all I can say, I'll edit and stuff.

So you're not working on a solution to what I mentioned, then? Also, are you avoiding what I am trying to address?

[Splke]

Draenin, at least he's doing something on GK that's an update that players can notice!

Usually it's "Stefans on.. here comes another laggy update".

[Draenin]

You think people wouldn't notice the change in levels on monsters, or the experience gained from each?

I agree, and it does really seem that staff are avoiding the major issues of the game and just adds new content.

The only changes i have expirienced since i played graal in 2002, is the addition of horses, maps, and some spells missing GFX has it now. On three years they have fixed.. Almost nothing?

New content is not enough and shouldn't be worked on at this moment, if you ask me.
