Golden Dragon Belly Issue

[Metin2Expert]

As you know there is a golden dragon belly "shortage" in the game currently. This is leading to preventing to do endgame pvp/pvm shields weapons armours and alchemies. Almost all high level EQ is dependant on this material. While old players made those thing easily a year ago when it was around 4kk each (now 50-80kk), new players will have big trouble having those things. My suggestions are
Either decrease the amount of belly required to craft a meley key to 1-2
Lower the donation ticket drop from chests and increase meley key drop
Or increase its drop from earth dragon and other bosses.
So that most of the items that depend on golden dragon belly will be free from monopolizers. I don't want to be forced doing a single farming method( beta farm). This game is playable only with its variety of farming methods. But now it is only around Beta farming.

1 year ago I bought stacks of bellys for 100kk, so 500k a piece, not 4kk.
I remember seeing them for 4kk each earlier this year and thought people lost their mind. Good old times.
No idea what drove the team to absolutely delete bellys from the game in the first place. I mean, it is one thing to reduce their drop a bit so there is some value to them. But from what I heard from people regarding the drop is just sad, and it is absolutely insane that the team has not yet acted and reverted or adjusted the change drastically.

as you said they could reduce the bellys to 1-2 and maybe add 1-2x passage ticket (3-6kk) in the craft

Reducing the amount of bellies needed to craft the meley's key would be a great change, but it would only solve half the problem.
Besides that, you need a lot of bellies for high-level upgrades (belts, weapons etc), and its overall availability is too low.
To me, as the post said, these are two things that should be considered together: reducing the number of bellies needed for meley and increasing their overall drop rate.
The second one is more important imo because only reducing the number of bellies needed for keys, without increasing their drop rate, would probably lead to an even higher price, making high-level upgrades even more unbalanced

Its true that the drop rate for Golden Dragon Belly is far too low, this can cause a lot of frustration, especially for new players who reach higher levels and need this resource to continue progressing.
i think it would be worth considering increasing the drop rate or, alternatively, allowing it to also drop from Chaos Metin Stones or Razador monsters., this would provide players with more ways to obtain the resource and prevent it from becoming an unnecessary obstacle to their progress

In summary;

• Increasing the drop rate of bellies
• Creating new obtaining methods for bellies
• Increasing the drop chance of meley key from meley's treasure coffer and decreasing donation ticket drop.
• Reducing the amount of bellies required to craft meley keys.

These are the suggestions.

Upgrading the Moye from +6 to +7 now costs 400kk; you also have to factor in the 350kk for the necessary Dark Scrolls, plus the 10% refinement bonus—that’s over 800kk for a single upgrade. For the past 3 or 4 days, there haven't been any Meley keys around; I check the rankings and no one is running Meley. I don't think it's normal for a game to grind to a halt like this—the staff needs to step in immediately. We’ve been saying for weeks that it would come to this; where is the staff?
