  That defines the theory. Apply it to the current situation and demonstrate your claimed imbalance. It should be easy enough to express in basic math. Did something in this event increase the ratio between PvE or PvP to a significantly measurable degree somewhere?
  
  If the PvE ratio of a game is 1:6 in terms of mobs vs players strengths and scope creep ups that to 1:3 it's created less imbalance, not more.
  Black and white it isn't. Basic math it is.

  
  
  Who says 1:1 is balanced?
  
  

  Quote from Wikipedia:

  Balancing does not necessarily mean making a game fair. This is particularly true of action games, the potential for unfairness creates uncertainty, leading to the tension and excitement that action games seek to deliver.[3][4][1]
  In these cases balancing is instead the management of unfair scenarios, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that all of the strategies which the game intends to support are viable. The extent to which those strategies are equal to one another defines the character of the game in question.

  
  
  Unless you're saying things in Mabi were completely impossible/unfeasible, then that 1:6 is perfectly balanced. So like Peaca Inter when it was released.

  Because 1:1 is sort of the definition of balance (a state of equilibrium or equipoise; equal distribution of weight, amount, etc.) and you've refused to provide your own measurable alternative. That's sort of been the whole point here. Balance is not supposed to be an opinion, it's a fact. You made an assertion regarding the balance being changed but haven't provided facts to substantiate it and refuse to explain how it's occurred. Lacking that, after repeated attempts to obtain it, reasonable users are just going to dismiss you as a complainer looking for something to complain about.

  Okay, here's why i don't like it, why not make it a permanent addition to the game instead of being left behind.
  
  Sure you could buy it, but that's not partaking in content at all.
  
  being limited to a one time thing kinda sucks.

  Are you referring to the island itself? Was that confirmed somewhere I missed?

  It's unconfirmed if it's permament or not. Atm we have no idea what features of the island will stay afterwards or if it will stay at all. It's a wait and see thing atm, Aubog is simply working off a base set of assumptions atm.

  Being awfully optimistic given that there's an event date for the island itself.
  
  I mean, going by the past with the Halloween event having a nice date itself, I am going by past actions.
  And before anyone goes "Duh it's halloween" Keep in mind a certain other game kept their halloween content after the fact.

  If anyone can understand Korean, what do the Aces say?

  Oh good, that's what I thought.

  it's entirely possible that is the event date of the 'Welcome to' event, not of the island itself existing.

  It's entirely possible yes, but usually nexon does not like keeping any event with "totems" permanent, in any of their games it seems.
  
  Would be the first if they kept it, right?

  They don't need to keep the welcome boxes to keep the island. Those are just part of the event, so I expect them to go away regardless after 2/20.
  Totems themselves are going to become more mainstream and common. I fully expect them to be craftable in 2015 if not sooner if they follow the pattern of most newly released features and concepts.
  
  Look at the pouches that were released via events and gacha then went away now are back again as craftable via llama.
  Eventually the material for those will be available in shops or via quests as that trend progresses.

  I suppose, I am just generally pessimistic after certain updates that mabi brought, I'll wait and see though.

  So like the most important thing you want from this event is to reach 100% Romantic Level for the ability to fly without pet. It's good speed too.
  
  Here's the action:

  You can fly by yourself or with another person who had the action.
  
  Also once you get the action you can afk anywhere in mabi with the action activated and you can fly on any map where flying is permitted.

  Did you cover that in the stream? Or is there any images of how this flight looks?

  Didn't cover it in the stream as we did the stream after the KR Emergency Maintenance which had just fixed the bugs with flying before reaching 100% Romantic Level. I did see one image of someone doing it on tumblr. I'll do a video of it later when I do a full coverage of the island now that I got everything.
