For the Gold, i prefer it that way, Gold has a meaning and everything cannot be buy with ease, you have to prioritize with what you want to do.
"After 4 hours of farming, I finally managed to collect that 5m gold...wow, this is nice! I can't wait to decide whether I want to spend them on upgrading a single HH skill or perhaps buy some lens and repair my weapon so I can...farm more gold?"
As most of the players already stated - and I am going to repeat it to you because it obviously wasn't clear - after the server burned (presumably), players literally lost everything and eventually accepted the fact that nothing can be done regarding that point. Despite that, players are expecting to atleast get something in return, something so you can progress quickly and so you can feel you are progressing and get back to your feet as soon as possible. But what did you get in return? SHIT.
In return you got a fucking 100% XP/DROP server at the opening - wow these rates are fucking worse than the Webzen ones! I am also going to repeat this for you - because it also isn't very clear - this is a fucking PRIVATE server of a 20 years old game. People play this server because they want to have FUN. Is this server fun? Not at fucking all. Also you get constant crashes, bugs, boring events and endless farming. Now the most common argument from Justac management against this is:
1) "We wan't to protect the server economy" -> No, you just want people to keep playing, farming and buying EC.. meaning you want to protect your fucking wallet"
2) "We don't want to increase drop/refine because then everyone would have max gear in 2 weeks." -> And? This is the point of a private server? You want to farm 3 years to get max gear and what then.. wait for the server to burn so you can lose it and start all over again?
This server is an ABSOLUTE. FUCKING. TORTURE.
