That probably took you some effort to type out, so I'll try to reply to everything x_x
The main reason why people postponed lving up their characters was because of the split sage in more populous servers, namely S1. In almost all other servers, there probably isn't such an occurrence happening (apart from the obvious alternate accounts that many people seem to have) as there is no such benefit from doing so. Hence, it would be safe to assume that such things happening would be rare.
As you mentioned, taking both player's lvs and bp into consideration at the same time - I don't quite understand how that works. Let's say power was mainly used. It is undeniable that the older servers would have a natural advantage in terms of that. In order to match the players from older servers in terms of initiative / power, players from newer servers would have to most likely pay more. I doubt that is how oasis would want to treat the paying players - this would essentially remove the advantage of paying players in newer servers. The current system would allow paying players to more likely dominate the tables which is more likely a possible intent.
You mentioned that this was unavoidable, but bear in mind this vote happened before the whole Aris issue. Players didn't know that this was undeniable when the majority voted. The post about how the matching works was added much later, and I believe many of the votes that went in was before they saw the post. Even towards the end when the thread died down, some players that said they voted no seemed to be unaware of said 2nd post. I don't think that this would be a good gauge of how the players feel.
The amount of advanced refines given out - This essentially only benefits the higher levels on the server. Judging this based on server merged sage - the closest thing to what the possible new system features (i.e populated sage) the mid-power players have no chance of getting the advanced refine runes and seal scrolls anyway. They would have a higher chance of finishing top 3 in the cross server sage, which is fairer for players who joined the server late. (Also worth noting that the game in it's current state is not very newbie-friendly, and many players have to join the new servers in order to truly play. This takes one step towards addressing this issue)
Lag - I mentioned that this is something that is likely to occur, nothing to say. Queueing time - the wonderful thing about sage world is that there is no queue time. Once you're in the battlefield, you're pretty much ready to go. The servers would also have the 10 minutes of registration time to arrange the players in their system, most likely. Bugs - All features have bugs. Heck, even the Ninja Bond system still has bugs. However, given enough time these bugs will be fixed - especially if they're game breaking. So pretty negligible.
This... Took alot longer than I thought. Hooray for distractions.
OK, first of all, cut the passive-aggressive bulls if you want to have a respectful conversation with ppl, which is something I thought we were doing until i read your last reply O.o. You asked and i answered, because I honestly thought you weren't awared of the thread. If you got off from baiting ppl, go for * - it's healthier for the both of us. (Also, pardon me for taking so much time compose such a so-so reply. I guess sometimes you forget that this is an international game/forum and not everybody speaks English as their native language. But if that wasn't a dig about my English proficency then please feel free to ignore this part.)
As for 2nd, I think you understand it quite well. OG won't be nerfing paying players so much - afterall, they pay to have the edge. I suppose I could have phrased it differently; what I meant was grouping ppl with similar lv but withing a certain power cap; for example all lv 90 with BP between 60 to 70k, then move to the next cluster, and so on. Also, you are that sure that you could speak for all servers?
Erm, no. Actually ppl know since pre-Aris. Unless those ppl don't follow Scion or don't dig around the Chinese forum. Or play the Taiwan version on Facebook.
As for your last 2 points, please go back and re-read what I said. I said it was neglegible, meaning they are non-issue.
Dude, I mean no disrespect to you in anyway, so cool you jet, go back and re-read what I said. Some stuffs you said make me feel like you just skimmed through a few words and got pissed.
