I took a long break on this game and I just came back to see that gang life is totally dead. I've noticed that quilins have been removed while ifrit prices have dropped slightly. I see people constantly complaining about how gang and cartel life is dead and it is quite clear to me why this has happened. In the recent update, they added a big tower to an already not as good cartel.
Basically, I do not know who is in control of these updates but the more and more this server changes, it seems to get worse and worse.
