*Throws in the towel*

Not having fun anymore, not sure what it is but I have no desire to continue. Level 25 SM, with two or three 13-15's.

Pro's:

Graphics are great.
Character customization is nice.
Abyss is a good way to mix up the grind.
PvP is fun.
I enjoyed the ability to set up a private shop wherever I felt like it.
Armor Dyes!

Cons:

Grouping feels clunky.
Gold Spammers
Quests are repetitive, and uninteresting.
My goddamn pets desummon every three seconds.
Very grindy.
Currency by the hundreds of thousands is annoying.
Gathering profession (Extracting) TERRIBLE to level.
Inventory/Warehouse space - there was never enough.

Probably because those are weird reasons for quitting, even if they aren't the "main" reasons. Gold spamming has been severely reduced, and really isn't hard to block the occasional one or two a day now. Quests in pretty much any MMO are repetitive, really. The storyline here may not be amazing, but I think most people don't even read that. And currency in the millions/whatever is really weird, not even sure what to say about that one.

But anyway, the game isn't for everyone. Then again, its still in development. You should consider coming back/sticking with it for a while if you don't have anything else to do.

Your points - both the pros and cons are valid.
I had a huge problem with how grindy this game is too especially since I don't have all the free time in the world to play it, but after 28 I found it more fun spending a lot of time in the Abyss. Also if you're in a legion with good friends it helps, because your groups are always fun. :)

I've been leveling solo since level 10 - that probably has a lot to do with it.

Gold spamming has been reduced significantly, still pretty active though.

I will in all likelyhood reactivate my account in 6 months or so, see how the game has progressed. I look forward to seeing how it develops and grows.

Good luck to those of you sticking it out :)

"Will be" Yah, future tense, so in the mean time it's a valid issue.

Nitrix if you are looking for few words:

You bring your char only to 25lv. You just unlock first abyss instance. At 30 lv you will unlock another instance + you will gain access to more fields with elites mobs. What does it mean? More group work and more fun ;) For real PvE is pretty good and i hope it will still growing. As i remember when i choice ranger i was rly mad at lv 10-18 where i was pretty bad. In next lv's my situation is still better. I rly enjoy this progress.

Gold sellers: yes, this is rly stupid, but common, situation is still better and i hope for less spam in future (for now i rly understand you).

About quests: you read all quests? I don't. Why? Lore in this game is lack. I know it before buy this game, and for me this is ok. I will match quests problem with your another point which was grinding. I was playing Warahmmer:Online before Aion. In Warhammer Online questing for good, but not great, but grind was better. In my opinion Warhammer: Online shows the best way how to grind your lv without boring. In Aion grinding is rly bad. When you see at 35 lv 16 milions xp to get, you will fell sick, but w8! You can find group, go farm elites mobs, make quests (sometimes pretty good) and your xp is growing ;) If you don't like grinding, you should choice game without lv's :D About SM i can't say anything (ofc its easy to kill for me, thats all), but as i know in 1.16 your pet will fly. This is big improvment for your class, you should check this out ;) Also in new patch xp from quest will be incressed ;)

Kinah: yeah this is big numbers of this value, but common, you can handle that ;)

Craft: pretty good think. You can earn kinah, you can make your set, you can cook gg food. Many ways to gets profit, but w8! Profits without hard-work and sacriface? Who need easy mode? If you spend plany of time in crafitng you will get benefits - this is good.

Inventory/WH: If you pay you will incress size of your "backpack", which can grove to good size. Anyway i haven't saw anygame with uncountable size of backpack, so you can handle that ;)


You should give this game another chance, find good legion, choice the best character for you, and try enjoy again. Fun is starting in this game at 30lv for sure (with more elites, players to kill).


Sorry for english, but i am in work :(
