I've tried out Elite GS Aion and immediately fallen in love with it, at least for now.
Normal rates are about inbetween the normal and the vip rates of GA, they also have a pro thing that's twice of that which is easier to get than the VIP status of GA.
They do have voting, but stuff on the vote shop is much cheaper than on GA and also drops ingame UNLIKE AT A CERTAIN OTHER SERVER. You can in fact just go make a chara and kill Stormwing (who is weirdly slow/bugged) and get a full SW set in an hour or so XD
Money is actually worth something there, and you can even buy some of the enraged veille stuff at the broker, haha.
That being said a lot of tedious stuff gets minimalized, there isn't as much trading spam in the channel or greed overall (lots of stuff cant be traded), there's less of an unfair gap between "normal" players and donors.
I first fell in love with this when I hit lvl 9 and automatically ascended without the tedious running quest ^.^
It also has auto stigma. So yeah - this is for just focusing on the action without the farming and trading and all the tiring stuff. Freefly is allowed in more zones, too.
The server's rather new and doesnt have as many players as GA, and the elly population is bigger than the asmo one, but I picked asmo this time. I tried some mass pvp in gelk last night and it was awesome
I also met Zalgo & Clockwork there by pure chance ^^
I dont know if this will be interesting and fun for a long time, but for the time being it definitely is and I think I'll stay there at least for a while. I can really commend trying this to everyone who wants a change of pace and is tired of GA's corruption.
I'll be on the server Fregion, playing as either Kirine, Riui or Miang (most likely Riui or Kirine), let me know if you decide to give this a shot (Tho i might be online less for real this time since I'm really really starting to get into trouble due to lack of doing my work ^^'')
