Time to change trash loot values!

Here is something to think about for balance in terms of money making.

First off, you look at the whole map and there are many different areas with different types of mobs, some places have unique drops, but the value of trash loot is still wildly varied. There exists this mechanic called AGRIS FEVER which further enhances the reliance on trashloot, and also applies a LIMIT to how much you can optimally farm. Because of this, and because I believe that killing tanky mobs IS COOL, but it's also cool to shred trashmobs. Like, there are areas where some classes can just destroy mobs. It takes 'skill' to do it with max efficiency. Even tho people wanna do end game farming for end game items, if some of the mid-game places that you could just scrape up gave balanced rewards if you were pulling like 2x the trash loot of other people, it would help ease the pain for a lot of under 300 AP grinders.

For instance, they changed some trash lootz. They changed valencia, but they left much of Kam. Tshira and Blood Wolves have atrocious values. I'd still hit up Blood Wolves for eyes, cuz if you get like 3 it's worth, but if you don't, I make more money off of rings than I do off of trash loot. Trash loot is THE FLOOR. You can actually end up with about 150m in trash loot or less at many places and that's CRAZY.

If people are mad that they would increase trash loot, I dunno what to say, but I will repeat what I said already: some classes are meant to mop up trash mobs. Maybe it's not super manly to farm trash or mid tier mobs, but there is no reason everyone should be forced to grind the same blah mobs and gear to fight them. At this point in the game, there should be plenty of creative ways to make money. I am not even mad if they wanna increase the top end trash loot value, either. But if you look at all the values of places, the trash loot values are still not balanced. There is, arguably, no rhyme or reason as to why the trash values are what they are. Trash is the reason many bought WEIGHT. The reason we have fairies. Nothing like loading up with 40k trash loot and getting like 300m haha.

Basic problem with trash is that BDO has practically no loot!!! Automatically, trash becomes basic loot and our earnings, but this means that 90% of middle-end zones make no sense because they are not profitable to play on them because we do not earn anything.
Blood Wolves is the best example but there are more. Basically, players are required to loot from Valencia, Kama and Drieghan, but trash from Elvia is worth 3-5 times more. Due to the lack of this loot (or its low value), there are shortages in the market because it is not profitable for anyone to waste time on middle-end zones since it will be much quicker to earn money e.g. on Elvia and buy this loot (but will not buy it because no one is selling because no one plays on middle-end maps).
