Auto Attack now pays in full

Quick one, everyone: Auto Attack now pays in full. It is live right now on every map, with no restart and no patch to download.

What changed

Base and Job EXP from Auto Attack kills: 100% (it was 50%).
Item drops from Auto Attack kills: the full drop chance on every drop, cards included (it was half).
Starting Auto Attack with @ac now prints Auto Attack: ON | EXP: 100% | Drop: 100%.

Why

A new character starts with nothing, and for a lot of you Auto Attack is how the first levels get done around real life. We would rather that time paid properly than felt like a penalty, so the early climb should be smoother and quicker.

It also puts more items into the world. Every drop is something you can sell, hand to a quest or trade to another player, and XileRO's market runs on players selling to each other. More items moving means more for that market to work with.

What stays the same

No zeny from monsters, and zeny bonus gear has no effect on Auto Attack kills.
No Random Options on equipment that drops while it runs; the game still shows you what you missed.
The Royal Treasury Golden Hour boost still waits while Auto Attack is on.

What it means for hands-on play

Fighting by hand and Auto Attack now pay the same EXP and drop chance per kill, so hands-on play keeps its edge in zeny, Random Options and the Golden Hour boost. We will keep a close eye on prices and the zeny supply over the next few weeks and tell you if we need to adjust.
