PA now want to make all grindspots with a 95% AP cut (like Elvia) see Global Lab Patch notes.

I can not overgear myself now to grind like normal people. My class is slow and thats why I overgeared myself  but now I can not do that anymore So I'm FORCED to switch my class to grind normal numbers or I just go to Honglim. 

I'm 341 AP grinding tungrad and pulling only 16k/h with scroll 1 only. 

I never seen a game where your equipment is nerfed like this. Why??? I enjoyed normal olluns but now i do the same damage like 310 AP probably.

One more consumer-unfriendly change from PA. Here's hoping they reverse this.

Imagine playing a game for years, spenting billions on your equipment only for your gear to get "nerfed" / "capped".

No wonder everyone is AFK in this game, people don't even want to play this BS anymore. 

This was hidden by admin due to the reports it has received.

Because players can't go on a grind spot made for their current gear without being overgrinded by a player who is exploding gear requirements? How horrible. 

If they rework grind spots and requirements to make sure people move naturally to the next spot when they get more gear, it sounds logical to me. More than to let players stick to a spot they "overgear".

But what if players dont enjoy the "next" spot? For example all the brainrot boring tower spots.

People already moved to the next spot by default. Or are you still grinding Ronaros with 340 AP? People always chased profits and goals like RMR. 

PA is just very bad at balancing the profits you can expect from grind spots. City of dead is a 310 Spot and absolutly garbage and even if you "overgear" you can not make much more than 12-13k trash on a level 1 scroll. That's why people still grind prefer Olluns (290)and not City of Dead (310). 

And now they nerf gear to force us grinding the garbage spots with higher requirements??? Honglim is better than City of dead. I go Honglim with 400 AP I dont care

This is so stupid! Why do we even graind when we can't fill  the progress , make no mestake AP requirements will be both minimum and maximum so if u have slow class good luck you'll never get stronger and the DP change is even worse
