First of all, as I understand it, KLab wants the international version of the game "Love Live! School Idol Festival" to catch up to the Japanese (original) server, thus speeding and doubling events and SR/UR sets in order to introduce the new group Aqours in the game as soon as possible.

However, the recent changes to the server were overwhelming and too much for the average player to handle, such as the recent apparition of double honor scouting boxes (which contains 2 URs and 7 SRs in place of only 1 UR and 3-4 SRs) and the double events (events which feature 2 SRs in place of only 1). Not many players were pleased with these changes (in fact, the majority preferred the game's state before), and it feels like the changes were too abrupt and there were no advanced notice concerning this topic. In my opinion, KLab has been neglecting its playerbase for far too long, and I don't think fans are really pleased right now with the way the company's acting nowadays.

Here are some changes I'd like to propose to the company:

Firstly, regarding double events, I firmly believe we need an expansion for the first two event ranking condition tier brackets of about 40-50% (from 1-1000 / 1001-5000 to at least 1-1400 / 1401 - 7000). Why? When events only featured one SR, only one group of players would try to rack up enough points to be in the first two event ranking groups at the end to idolize that card. According to what I have seen generally, said people are usually fans of the featured character. Now, with 2 unique cards, there should be at least 1.5 times more players trying to get into the narrow spaces of the said groups (in the case of the current event, Rin fans and Eli fans). If tiers don't change, there would be quite a large number of unhappy players who failed to idolize their best girl(s)'s card and then quit the game out of anger, possibly hurting the company's earnings.

Secondly, the playerbase wants the event rewards to be doubled. For example, instead of only receiving 2 scouting tickets from 1-1000, they would receive 4, as if they have tiered for 2 events at once. The reason why? We will not be able to experience the Rin Score Match event, because it was combined with the Eli Score Match event. This means that all the event rewards that we could've received if there was a Rin Score Match event are now null, which is unfair to the playerbase, especially considering that the game's mechanics was not originally meant to be this way. With scouting boxes being doubled, we now only have half of the time to prepare accordingly for them, so event rewards being doubled would make perfect sense for us.

Thirdly, we would like to have the new member scouting rates doubled (i.e. the Marine set should have higher rates compared to older sets). According to people who have scouted for the new set (which is in this case the Marine set), there was no increase in the new member scouting rates. I believe this is important because there is twice as many new cards to pull from in one go. Again, if rates are not increased, it would cause quite an uproar in the players' community and there would possibly be quite a large number of unhappy players who quit the game out of anger and frustration from not getting their "dream card", hurting the company's revenues even more.

Another solution to the said problem could be splitting the main scouting box into two boxes running concurrently, each featuring one half of the new set (1 UR and 3-4 SRs). The featured half of the set would have higher rates than other cards (i.e the Marine set would have higher rates than the Magician/Cyber/Job v2/White Day/Valentine's Day/Seven Lucky Gods/etc. sets). They are both essentially the same honor scouting box, but split in half so players would have the same chance as before to scout the members they want. (just like how KLab do Pick-UP boxes). This suggestion is highly approved by many casual players who focus mainly on saving up and buying their gems for new honor scouting sets for a chance at their new "dream card". If it becomes harder to obtain their dream URs, customers will likely lose the motivation to pay the game and to buy love gems, causing a dent in KLab's profit.

To conclude, I think these are the main things players wish to have alongside of these new changes (double events, double honor scouting boxes, etc.). Please consider them and fix the game as soon as possible so that the game is fair for everyone. Every player should have the rights to enjoy the game like how it's meant to be.

Thank you for reading.
