That’s why I don’t feel sorry for such people. Its not a Tetris, its complicated korean mmorpg with tons of hidden or not so hidden mechanics, sometimes complicated skill formulas and etc. And that is the beauty of this game - you have to actually explore and go deep in it to understand completely. There were yet undiscovered interesting mechanics in Ro after 15+ years of playing it, and ToS is only 3 years old (if we include all CBTs).
But the very first thing you have to do in these type of games: if you find smth that is obviously and unreasanobly OP - check whether it really works as intended or it’s a bug. And if it’s a bug and you still want to use it - do it on your own risk. Well rip casual players, what can I say. Its cruel, but its serious korean mmorpg reality.
Anyway - who cares about riped char? You can 1-330 in one day now. And 25m wasted on circling attri (actually its not wasted, it just became not op and broken - still very viable) can be farmed in less than a week.
