1 - Wouldnt mind but its also ok this way
2 - Yes
3 - Yes, please
4 - This could get out of hand if people make multiple low Level Farmers to farm infinite boxes.
5 - idk what that means
6 - Yes, please. I think they want them to stay to make the Server look more busy/attractive to new Players. But its very annoying for the active players.
7 - BIG YES - crafting one for 10KK+ and then failing is the worst thing ever. Either 100% Chance or lower cost. (I Prefer 100%).
8 - Yes

Base item drop or sell rates should be higher so more yang flows into the server and that will make trading better, currently everybody is selling but nobody is buying because there is low amount of yang on the server. Sometimes i even underprice my stuff and still dont sell for days. The fix would be people should generate more yang from killing mobs or selling to shopkeepers other than trading when they will have yang the trading will be better too and that makes the server more lively. So base item drop or sell rate should be higher for example lv40 battle axe but enchanted items not. Also low level players dont have many ways to make money so this would fix that too they could quick sell many lv10 -20 items to shopkeepers and get started from it. Currently at low level u can only make money from horse medals and it shows 1/3 of its price dropped in 2 days leaving new players unable to make money. Many people also afk farm a lot so it would fix that too because their inventory fills with item and they would have to be present to sell it and make yang more efficiently so people would be more active other than standing still for 24 hours waiting for upgraders to drop.
