I skimmed through your post, sorry I worked all night. As I said previously I work 40 hours a week, spend a lot of time drawing and still find time to have 13 Alts all 150-230+. It’s about how you want to spend your free-time. After you start getting decent team level, you don’t have to do the quest. (At least not for me, I can go all the way to lv4 cards w/o touching one quest and level rather quickly. It takes literally no time to level. The hardest part is finding groups for dungeons (some).
Again I am 35 years old. I spend my free-time here, what little I have of it. I still don’t see that as an excuse. If you want to experiment, then, roll yourself up a new character. It’s as simple as that. I have 4 Mains, and 9 Alt’s that I do that with. you can choose to spend your free-time here, or not.
And as I said; I’m not 100% against them. In fact I am for them, if they are very very punishing. Which I won’t repeat my suggestions, but most would complain about that as well.
Wth: My Ideas for Resets:
You may use ONCE FREE per account ever. You lose all EXP you have gained up to said Rank you are Reseting to. (lv280 wants to reset to Rank 4. You’re now lv 82) You lose all attributes and silver invested in them to that Rank. You earn a Multiplier in EXP per Rank reset up til you recover your previous rank. Reset can be bought in TP shop for 50$ and only once per Character.
