this is something people are going to need to learn to do for this game. ToS hearkens back to the old school era, and the way of thought that North American games have long abandoned: that if you want something, you should be willing to work for it.
if you want an easy-breezy everything-handed-on-a-silver-platter kind of game, there’s plenty of MMO’s like that these days.
ToS is not, and should not be that game.
