Adding those "Events" will not fix the problem..
It will "temporarily" boost player activity but that's about it.
400~500% xp boosts... yeah, lets make everyone lvl 120 so we all have nothing to do again and go play some other game.
AL needs better fun factor. Something that you can log in anytime and do something fun. It needs that old "arcade" feel to it. Basically, the game should provide choices for players to do and I do not mean "farming" for some item.
And when you add those alchemy giving ashtal and stuff, it only promotes players to play by themselves most times. Meaning, it will only attract ppl who likes ransacking, alchemy. (And we all know that's not so fun).
If they will do anything, it should be based on team play, team quests, team fights.
And if they add "team quest"-type of gameplay, they should award players with XP, even if small. Not some items.
That way, with 1 idea, many ppl can enjoy and feel that old "team-playing" feel
Not just farming, ransacking, alchemy all day long and making his gear better. (What good is it to get better gear when u have no one to fight with?)
And tbh, Webzen abused those XP boosts too often, selling those Seras, TOMs... etc.
It will really need a big overhaul and change in game system to bring back the fun that existed in ep2.
