@Trion, Rapids Event Reward Changes - Vaughn's Potent Stout

So first off I need to say that this event is by far one of my favorite if not my favorite event to be in Archeage. The first time it was around it created so many memories and still delivered even months after the event had ended. I went into this event thinking that the same would come out of it. What I mean by this is that my teammate and I open world PvP...a lot. The main reason this event was so rewarding and continued to reward us was for the fact that these incredible combat boosts exist. With that said, they've changed since last year and I actually have no idea why nor do I think it's some kind of "balance" thing as this makes the game even more lopsided than it is currently.

Actual Effect:




Okay, now you may at this point be asking what the difference is and once my teammate logs on I know she has some of the old ones (if they weren't retroactively changed). However, the main difference is the ones in the previous version of this event gave the buff user +10% attack. By now we know that base attack % effect all combat styles (range, melee, magic). So what gives?




Before Melee users post about non-Melee users wanting to be "buffed" I would like to say that this is directly a question of why it was changed. There are no biased feelings here, and I think you should keep yours quiet.







*Future Edit: Will post SS of old pots (if not retroactive)
