I cannot read this wall of text above meā¦ Itās too much xD
I just see a lot of people talking out of their ass about how EXP is fine because they want to level a class over 3 months. Well we arenāt talking 3 months, a couple of hours a day, we are talking job hours, 9-5 a day on this game for 3 months. I also donāt think that many people have actually played the beta here. This isnāt Ragnarok Online. There is no chance of a Card drop, or other decent rare items. There are no alternative places to level is one spot gets boring. There are no MvP random spawns on most maps. Its 70-90 exp per kill, for 100,000 - 180,000 exp as an example, and itās boring as crap. You get 2-7k per exp card (quest rewards) every now and then, but you would need at-least 20-25 to level up at a certain point, and you only get 1-2 per quest.
Also I donāt know about you guys, but I actually want more than 1 class on this 54-80 class game. I donāt want to stick with 1. Sure Iāll main one, but I refuse to believe that I cannot have fun with others.
To those who donāt care about grinding as long as itās fun. Well, in most MMOās, the best part is at the end game (maximum level), when the secret dungeons can be raided, when you can enter any map, when you can go to pvp, gvg, super hard raids, boost/level alternate characters, find and sell the rarest items. MMOās are not offline, closed story games, where itās all about the journey. Itās partially about the journey, and itās important, but once at max level, thatās when the game should really hold you, and keep you from going to another game. Also at the early game which until about level 300, I think itās fair to call this early game. The only thing available to us is Card games, talking in town, and grinding. There is nothing else to do, no other mini games, no other towns to explore. So we are forced into a position of levelling.
And finally, Iām sorry if Iām repeating someone elses words from up above. However I do not actually believe these will be the final rates. I think the GMs are fiddling with them, and not giving us proper explanations as to what they are doing. In CBT2 eng ver, I believe that the exp will be much higher, especially after this blow up. Honestly, if there are any concerns that you guys feel towards the game, try to blow it up as big as this, and it will probably get fixed.
Those are my thoughts~ (Also I played RO, low rates/official servers only for 11 years, I can handle the hardcore grindā¦most of the timeā¦)
