In Mabinogi Mobile, certain classes such as healers, tanks, and bards are continuously being marginalized, leading to a class depth phenomenon. The nature of the content, especially the time-attack-oriented game design, is the fundamental cause of the problem.

Time attack content gives users the impression that only certain classes are strong, encouraging class imbalance. The current class preferences may change when the next tier of combat power equipment is released, and the inability to highlight the unique characteristics of each character is a problem. Raids that are too easy are also a problem.

The tendency of parties to only pursue damage dealers is divided into two categories: damage dealer-centric parties for time attacks, and parties for high-combat power users to quickly clear daily tasks. Due to this phenomenon, classes other than damage dealers are marginalized, and the current content, which consists of time attack raids and abyss, is the root cause of the problem.

Propose ways to encourage damage dealers to focus on survival by reducing death counts, imposing penalties upon death, and highlighting the importance of the tank's role. Need to adjust merits/demerits based on party class ratios.

The current recommended combat power level is set lower than the actual clearable combat power, causing confusion among users. Difficulty should be lowered considering the characteristics of mobile games, or more effort should be put into raid design. Raise suspicions that high difficulty may be intended to induce spending.

Mabinogi Mobile's BM is in the enhancement system in addition to gacha, which is linked to the class exclusion system, causing problems. It shows a similar vein to the recent Lost Ark issue, and it is important to create an environment where each character can perform their role. The developers are aware of the problem, but there is a difference between the improvements users expect.

Suggest a method of differentially awarding time attack rewards while maintaining an appropriate level of difficulty like the Abyss, but still clearable. The current raids are difficult to clear, which intensifies class exclusion. Similar to Lost Ark, setting the difficulty based on the top-tier users is a problem.

Ideally, the balance should be that damage dealers have good damage but die easily, tanks have low damage but high survivability, and supporters are specialized in supporting. Paying for self-satisfaction (avatars, skins, etc.) is the healthiest payment method, and Mabinogi Mobile seems to be pursuing both payment methods.

If you spend money to increase your recommended combat power but cannot clear it, you may feel unpleasant and quit the game. Mabinogi Mobile users tend to be more gentle and kind compared to other RPGs, and have a strong tendency to play together. Shared experience of failing after challenging with two 30,000 combat power users and a 25,000 combat power party.

Suggest improving the party play by allowing users to check whether assists are being used, or restricting the assist function in raids. Assist users must be considered due to the nature of mobile games, but the developer's choice is necessary. Suggest a method of differentially awarding rewards by eliminating time attacks or limiting party revivals.

The developers must actively address the balance issues, and the current system only encourages damage dealers and intensifies spending. Ask for users' attention and participation for a healthy Mabinogi Mobile environment. Promote the Ice Eater guild on the Lasa server and recruit guild members.
