Been playing for a month now and I find this server balanced. PODS can be obtain through in game hunting so donate items are available to all players. Armor and Weapon refine deeds are also available through lotti in which the ticket can be easily hunted. MVP cards (which can be hunted relatively easy) are disabled during WOE and the players are currently requesting for a non-MVP pvp room. This will be most likely approved by the friendly and accomodating GMs.
