Apparently I haven't been reading the same forum as you. Most of the complaints I'm reading are about Affection and Haremette drop rates. To be sure there are a couple threads about items, but they are mostly about koban cost not being plainly marked. Let's be honest, items are not going to make any difference until they launch the revamp of the PvP system (maybe not even then). As for your suggestions, I totally agree with the drop HP/crit items, especially for those over level 50, again, if the stats are going to be unaffected by the PvP revamp. I really don't mind buying gear with kobans if it is an epic with my specialty as the single stat. Given how much I have to spend to level affection, I need all the cash I can get and kobans are a much easier to get now. I do admit that it irritates me to see an epic with a completely unrelated stat when I reset the market, but that's no reason to remove koban pricing all together.
