For the 2.7 update, we plan to change how spell point and characteristic scrolls are obtained.
Characteristic Scrolls:
As per what was announced upon the 2.6 update, it will no longer be possible to obtain characteristic scrolls by exchanging resources (or artifacts) with NPCs in the 2.7 update.
 
Characteristics scrolls will only be obtainable through the exchange of mount certificates or Doploons.
 
This decision was made in order to fight against the abnormal generation of scrolls through the use of bots and to refocus the creation of characteristics scrolls towards more recreational activities in game.

Spell Point Scrolls:
For the 2.7 update, we've also decided to withdraw the exchange of diamonds for spell point scrolls (for the same reasons that led us to modify the exchanges for characteristic scrolls).
 
As areplacement, we've added the option of exchanging spell point scrolls for Kolossokens by interacting with the NPC Glad Yator (at a rate of 1000 Kolossokens per spell point scroll), located inside the Kolossium.

Price Evolution
These changes could have a significant impact on prices and availability of spell point and characteristic scrolls. Our goal is not to make these scrolls scarce or impossible to obtain. We will be watching their prices and their availability over the upcoming updates and we will make changes to the methods and amounts of scrolls that you can obtain in game if we deem it necessary.

So remember to exchange your resources for scrolls before the release of version 2.7.0.. you only have a few weeks left!

The Developers simply don't care.

What about the results of the monitoring process? Even if the developers have come to the conclusion that there is nothing to change, they could report something about it. I gradually prefer that they say "no more scroles for your little populations", than that they say nothing at all.

Exactly as alyss-sin stated, the 2.9 change hasn't really created more at all, and most of the people I know who have spell scrolls on a character have left them on that character unless they no longer play it. The deletion of the ability to exchange diamonds made me go from being able to obtain multiple scrolls per day to now no longer getting one per month because I do not kolo. Maybe if the kolo system worked better I would consider that as a means to get spell point scrolls, however the number of wins required compared to the broken system of getting a good team if you run random to me is not worth the hassle. It takes a while to get a fight and then because of so many reasons a fight can be lost or cancelled and no one wins in these situations is simply a fail in respect to a change that honestly wasn't so much affected by bots because the number of p2p bots at least on Rushu when I attempted to run wild plain crackler mobs or the dungeon were very minimal if none at all. I get that players can no longer exchange resources for characteristic scrolls as those are very simple to get now. But there is no way to do dopples to obtain spell point scrolls, at least to my knowledge I don't do dopples often. But even if this was an option things would be much better. There is no effort attempting to resolve this issue so players lose out, that's plainly the fact.

The ability to exchange points between characters hasn't introduced any more into the system on small servers. It's simply allowed players who need the points for different characters to move them to said characters.

And in reality it's probably removed more spell points by people exchanging them for pebbles and using them for trophies.

They care so little that they made it easier to obtain Spell Point Scrolls less than a month ago, as part of 2.9.

And they never took away Spell Point Scroll drops from certain common low-level monsters, so if you loved the old system of having to spend days upon days killing hundreds of thousands of weak monsters over and over in order to get even a single spell point, you can still do that.

...Lichen assured me that the devs are aware of the possible issues on smaller servers, and they will be watching the fight rates on these servers to monitor them, and if they find that it is truly too difficult to acquire spell point scrolls, they will make some adjustments to ameliorate that problem. They already have some ideas about what they will do if they find this problem to be present.

* What results were in the monitoring of fight rates on smaller servers?
* Did the devs in the meantime notice that it is too difficult to get the scrolls?
* Is it maybe time to look again of the "some ideas"?

This is a really bad idea, Shika (where i play) is dead, it's like 2 or 3 kolo per 3 hours (for me), how will i buy spell points if i can't fight on kolo ? x_x

Four months and Lichen has still not told us what's the final say on Spell points. The price on our server has continued to go up. I want to know if PVM will ever be treated fairly again on this matter. Can you imagine anything else that is denied one or both players, that has been around since the game begun but now is no longer the case? i can even believe they could make it available through PVM only. This would be a much more sensible way as everyone pvms for drops for better gear anyways. it has done nothing for Kolo. Get rid of it through the Kolo system. Find a better way.

The topic started in July; and it is now late October... 4 months of this... are there any alternatives in the works?

Not seen any for sale in nearly two months. Anyone else seen any?
