· Strong weapons gain bonus stats from the Engraving Enhancement of weaker weapons, and weaker weapons inherit some stats from strong weapons.
· However, the website and in-game explanations caused confusion, leading to the misunderstanding that only weaker weapons receive bonuses.
· Despite being a significant change requiring the development of two types of weapons, it was treated lightly, increasing user confusion.

2. 📢 Misunderstandings Caused by Developer Intent and Lack of Communication
· During the live broadcast, Proficiency Link was only explained as 'a system designed to make it easier to develop or experience other classes,' making it seem like a simple sub-class assist system.
· However, the actual development intent was to solve the chronic problems of the existing enhancement system.
· Problems with the existing enhancement system:
· Proficiency Link was a clever solution intended to resolve all these issues and satisfy both heavy and light users.
· However, due to insufficient in-depth explanation of the development intent and the system's ripple effects, users felt 'stabbed in the back' and experienced emotional repercussions, such as the sense of loss from having to create another +20 weapon.

· Problems with the existing enhancement system:
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Enhancement Downgrade Revoked | Attempted to implement enhancement downgrades at the start of Season 1, but revoked due to user dissatisfaction. |
| Enhancement Level Expansion Impossible | Levels like +21, +22 are impossible due to exponentially increasing material requirements (e.g., 11,000-13,000 Lumpa per enhancement). |
| Abysmal Rates After +15 | Extreme enhancement environment with 1% chance after +15. |
| Distorted Engraving Enhancement Structure | Accumulated problems led to an intractable situation. |

3. 📈 Ripple Effects and Improvements of the Proficiency Link System
· The introduction of the Proficiency Link System brought about the following changes in the game environment:
· Combat Power Guidelines Needing Improvement:
· Gems and detailed stats make a significant difference in firepower, but they are not properly reflected in combat power, leading users to neglect them.
· An urgent revision of combat power guidelines is needed, such as a method where combat power is highly variable based on basic attack power and a certain ratio according to the current number of skill tags.
· This will encourage light users to participate in crafting and help alleviate the entry barrier for new users.
· Overall, the Proficiency Link System clearly has far more positive aspects than negative ones, making it a good system.
· Since the job change feature is scheduled to be released at the end of April, users aiming for Hell rankings should carefully consider the sub-class that suits them.
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Legendary Avatar & Foundation Dependency | Slight decrease (raw attack efficiency reduced). |
| Raw Attack Plate Efficiency | Decreased (background for Critical Enhancement Plate emergence). |
| Raw Attack Runes (e.g., Sobel) | Slight decrease in efficiency. |
| Hell 15 Difficulty | Became easier for users with high-gem setups. |
| Ranked Matches | Became somewhat more hardcore due to the possibility of no-break phenomena for one-shot users. |
| Creative Builds | Increased possibilities for breaking existing molds, such as diverse class weapon switching and flexible party compositions. |
