Explorers - Why Dont We Just Ask?

Okay, this sounds kind of crazy, but why don't we just ask GMS for a buff? Yes, it seems pointless, and yes, it's unlikely, but we won't improve if we don't get the attention of the people who run our game, right? They've released GMS-exclusive content and have adjusted class power separate from the original patches before. Why not now?

Just hear me out. The only reason people don't bother sending in complaints is because people don't feel like they'll be heard. But because everyone thinks this, we don't bother trying. If GMS knows that explorers want a buff, they'll give us one eventually. We just have to try.
I'm expecting a lot of cynicism with this, and that's fine. But I'm tired of my favorite characters being consistently weaker than the ones that are released now. My 164 Paladin who has roughly 35% STR in equips does about half the damage of a 130 Kaiser without any funding.
Frankly, that's unacceptable.
So right now, I'm going to send a ticket to Nexon. Please do the same instead of just giving up like we always do.

[b]Edit:[/b] Right now I'm seeing a lot of excuses. It's the same problem--people not bothering because it's too much effort to click a few buttons and write a short request. Please, at least try.

[quote=x3Inferno]GMS will buff Adventurers when KMS buffs them. And TBH Adventurers are not even bad, people just think because all the new classes have super high mobility and flashy skills that they are way better. All classes are strong with funding and all classes are weak without it.[/quote]

Except most adventurer classes are noticeably weaker than their closest new-class counterparts, in addition to having less mobility, range, and flashiness. And of course, all classes are strong with funding. The problem is that some classes are [i]significantly[/i] stronger with [i]less[/i] funding.

The day when people realize that damage is not everything will be a glorious one indeed. Probably preceded by mass murders.

Few reasons why asking won't do anything.

In the past when people asked for something from Nexon, they of course did it in an immature and unlegitimate way. This is likely going to continue because the heads of such movements are either to young to know better or idiots.

It will conflict with future updates made by other version. It would cost them alot of man hours to work through this, which in turn costs them money. Don't worry change is coming, you will just need to wait...

They clearly want people to make new classes. This is why they give them the appeal of having an edge in appearance and ability. If you make a new character you will be inclined to purchase more NX to supplement that character.

How about nerfing the new classes for once to even the field a little bit with explorers?

Yes, let's just make Paladins literal tanks. Other classes require a buff more than Pallies, and you're getting a buff soon-ish anyway. The most they'll do is probably read it, that's all.

acknowledge adventures are weaker than the new champs. Still can't be
helped though its nexon go write a ticket to nexon~

I'm pretty sure I've sent at least one ticket regarding this before.
Some classes are just spoonfed power, others struggle to get half as much done.

[quote=sanghyunp2004]@Hathelian: lol all i am saying is that to compare dmgs with of pally to kaiser wouldn't be the
best comparison. And besides like people said just wait for unlimited patch it will get sort of better
(not really for pally's IMO) but other adventure classes get pretty good buffs such as MM [/quote]

But even with buffs and hypers, we still aren't as good as the non-explorers. In general, we're just neglected. I'm not asking to be as strong as them, but I am asking for at least a little attention.

edit: also sick choices made from KMS infecting our version? that really doesn't make sense since GMS never
had their "own version"

[quote=sanghyunp2004]I know you are giving ur pally as an example but do you understand that pally's aren't really meant for dmg
they are created for their high defense during the time when defense was actually needed[/quote]

...Which has been dwarfed by the invincibility of transformed Kaisers, as well as their insane HP levels.

@OpiumMaple I'm tired of waiting for KMS to fix problems GMS could easily fix on its own. It has created custom content and adjusted Korean patches before, and it can do it again. KMS makes tons of bad decisions, and I'm sick of their poor choices infecting our version.
