I wasn't going to make this post because I didn't really see it as relevant but it certainly is.
I'm so tired of mindlessly grinding thousands of mobs in a game that is already up to level 40 and considered to be mid-game, yet we are still on new player armor, bows still stuck at shitty 1 tile range, no classes, stat reset only on some weekends, no scrolls, pots hard to come by and so many other things wrong and or missing from the game.
I have to force myself daily to grind or even login some days. If this was a private server I wouldn't be playing it.
I hit level 37 yesterday, to hit 38 I have to kill 2077 mobs at 270 exp. To hit cap, I'd have to kill over 8000 mobs easily. Think about that for a moment. Not even Conquer Online was this grindy. CO was known as one of the grindiest games you could play back in the day, just to give an idea. If only we had other ways to grind for exp. Exp for crafting, more exp for gathering and mining. There could be so many.
I know I don't have to train or hit cap, no one is making me, I don't mind a good grind, when there is reasons for that grind but there's not much incentive to do it right now in my opinion except for the leaderboard and to compete for boss drops. At 37 I am more than capable to compete until next update and who knows how that's gonna be? More of the same, no doubt about it. Same stupid bow range, noob ass armor and thousands of mobs to grind for hours. The "Endless" loop as I call it. There is a reason the player base has dwindled so much and there's only around 200 max playing. Plus, if you count alts, you could drop 25% off that or so and get closer to the actual real count.
Also, Vult needs to start banning cheaters and exploiters, or at the very least, jail or punish them by taking away exp/eons or something. The latest exploit allowed some players a boost in stats that made it much easier to kill mobs and bosses but I know nothing will be done to those players. It's sickening. It makes everything seem so pointless when cheaters are just let go after us normal players worked our asses off for everything we've got and did it fairly. He shows way too much leniency even at this point in testing.
I've made my mind up, I'll play till next update but if things don't change for the better, I'm out. I just can't continue this as is.
