Okay OASIS, you say you actually take note of how certain events have effected the game and the players and how you're always doing your best to make the game enjoyable for ALL players? Well, let me give you a brief review on how the changes in the past month or so have affected my server, with quotes from fellow players on my server.
CHANGES
Arena:
*before the cross server*
Player 1: Hi, can someone que in the arena please? I only need one win for a challenge
Player 2: Sure, queing now
Player 3: It's so * actually having to ask people to que in arena to get fights
*after the cross server*
Player 1: Yes! The arena is finally cross servered, no more queing for 20 minutes for one fight
*5 seconds later*
Player 1: What?! Susano Sasuke, Susano Itachi, Ay, Midnight Blade?! The guy is from S20?! I can't beat this!
Matsuri:
*before cross server*
Player 1: Oh my god, it's so hard to find a fight in Matsuri with how inactive the server is, I should have started it sooner, now there's no one to fight.
*after cross server*
Player 1: Finally Matsuri is cross servered now, I can actually have a fight
*5 seconds later*
Player 1: Are you kidding? Sage Naruto, Hashirama, Tobirama, Fire Main? 75k BP S10?! I don't stand a chance in Matsuri anymore...
Server merge:
*before merge*
Player 1: Seriously? Another event cancelled due to lack of players? Guys, let's get some alts thrown in so the event actually takes place. We need a merge quick!
*after merge*
Player 1: Yes! Server has merged, let's see who's in the server now...S-***, WHAT?! 65k BP, how is this fair?! We can't fight these guys...let me check the other servers...the next neighbouring server has an average of 45k BP?! That's the same as ours! why didn't we merge with them?
Player 2: Why did our server merge with yours? Our highest has 65k BP, we were an active server anyway, we didn't need this.
CONCLUSION
Great that we can actually participate in these events but, alas, it was too good to be true, older servers get easier fights for easier rewards, new servers who are just starting out quit because they can't make any progress due to being put up against these servers. Yes, the cross server was needed but players from S175 (Mine) against players with 65K BP from S35?! Funny thing is, those players actually find this really unfair as well! Respect to those who have actually refresh to lose on purpose in good sportsmanship.
The cross server gap needs to be not too small so it takes 20 minutes to find a fight but not too big so players face of against older servers in which they stand no chance at all.
