It is obvious as to why they are complaining. First off, they have been stingy when it comes to giving adv refines. MOST F2P have 0-1 max refines now on their P1. Casual spenders have an average of 3.

Oddly enough, we can get tool progress with greater frequency than we do adv refines progress.

Now, the refine increases affect everything, from the glow-y image on your armor (if you care about that sort of thing) to the actual rebates. Now to take FULL advantage of the rebate, we would have to start saving up the gold refines.......to which I'm SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE (winkwinknudgenudge) Oasis and staff will be so generous in giving to the playerbase through events......I mean, they already "Fixed" the amount of adv refines we get from the shop. Gotta love going from 70 a week to 14. Yep.

I fail to understand their logic at all. People were mad about the increase because it was just another way for heavy spenders to run away with progress while they give very little for the rest, even in freebies. The community would be less outraged if they were more giving when it comes to the adv refines, which EVERYONE is bottle-necked at this point.

When compared to the treasure tools, it really doesn't compare honestly.
