If you are lazy to go there and read I will repost it here.

I've never gave a single fuck about the rates thing because I never considered it a priority. Never, until I opened my server. I started with x50 rates because I guessed it could be a nice rate, not too high, not too low, based on what the people was playing usually.
Was enough few days for make the people start complaining about it. "OMG RATES ARE TOO LOW, MAKE THEM HIGHER". In the end, I made them higher, up to x300!!!. But still, people was complaining "OMG THIS IS NOT REAL X300, FAKE RATES, ON OTHER SERVERS I LEVEL UP MORE FAST WITH LESS RATES!!!". I was like... what the fuck?
I even showed proofs of the rates being properly set. There are many easy ways to check the rates of a server, the easiest is reach an high lvl (lv 50 or more for example) and then kill a lv 1 monster. It should give 1 sp exp on iSRO (rates multiplier x1), and on pservers should show the real rates (for example, my server has rates x200 on the first gameserver, so depend on what place you kill the lv 1 mob you get 200 or 300 exp sp).
And this is where the problem appears. Every single stupid kid ruined the whole sro scene with this shit. No one fucking checks the rates of his server, something as basic as this is simply ignored. They just say "rates x200!", and open the server, without even fucking check it, and the rates are not x200, are probably x2000, a common mistake.
This makes the whole community think, wow, rates x200 are high, cool, and take it as a base for every fucking single server.
I'm serious. I want to show everyone how bad you configured your server. I'm tired of this shit, I was working hard on my server for make it a long term server and part of my plans got ruined because some dickheads who have no idea about setting up serverfiles announced x2000 rates as x200. Is NOT normal to get 10 lv's killing a mangyang, assume it!
Sorry for the rage, but it really pisses me off...
