Well, I know there’s no right or wrong answer, I’m just curious to see what everyone thinks.
In the vast majority of MMOs, getting to max level is just a time sink “before the real game starts.” You’ll spend 10% of your time playing getting to max level, then you spend months at max level grinding raids, pvp, etc.
My feeling about Tree of Savior is that getting to max level is the game. So I guess, in my opinion, the levels are practically 1:1 with other games. As you advance beyond the level cap of other games, TOS continued leveling takes the place of another game’s end game.
