well gear is fairly easy to get really, and you're wrong all of the items you mentioned are there, including unique mechs and all other jewelry pieces, in fact some items didn't even drop in aeria's server such as the unique costumes(skins) that give stats because they decided it not to and instead put it on sale as many other necessities. If you enter the high lv dungeons you get at least 1 unique piece of gear every 2-4, runs even the lv35+ dungeons drop a decent amount of unique gear, earrings and all other jewelry pieces of all grades drop from various mobs and events such as the Alkasava battleground and hourly battlegroud. There is an item called just "safeguard" that they implemented which works for ALL the levels of enhancement from +4 to +12 (which have better succes rates btw) unlike the +7+8+9... we used before to prevent downgrade when failure, and it can be obtained by just PARTICIPATING in the timed battlegrounds replacing the previous system, i played aeria's server since lv35 patch unstill it shut down, never invested a lot of $ but managed to get full uni at lv49. You either didn't even play the game or just want to see the world burn for some reason, don't come to other people's posts saying nonsense for no reason, i can just post a pic of the in-game Auction House with all of the items there and its lower prices.
And about aeria's being thousand times better, lol u drunk? that server and further more the company are the epitome of all the cancerous bs tactics game publishers use nowdays to profit without actually caring about the game, you(us) or the developers, overpriced shitty pay to win "tier" business model where you can get everything you need in HUGE expenses a month or now this alternative where you HAVE to actually play for the items you need for the most part (at least the gear and consumables/upgrade stuff can be farmed , it's not only sold)
