As of now, ToS is a grinding gear game (no pun intended to PoE company lol).
That is the only thing you will have to truly work for.
Any game that involve gears and level up are like that, Diablo 3, Torchlight 1 and 2, even Albion Online that don’t have a real level up but a different kind of progression (destiny board) also have to be grinded.
The issue is how that is employed, some are easy, others not so easy, but not insanely hard and boring like ToS is.
Honestly that endgame is boring as hell too, you need a variety of things beyond raids to keep interested if you’re not going to drop game content for 6+ month clips at a time.
Its educational, ToS just simulate how you grind 24/7 in real life 
I love grinding games TBH, it’s why I picked ToS up to begin with. The problem is they’re complete amateur developers who can’t keep up with content. They stumbled through beta and forced the game out early and now the content is such a slow trickle. We barely get new content, and when we do it really boils down to just new rank, new level cap, a couple new dungeons and world bosses (which are basically not worth doing anyway), and then the only “real” content which is the new top level gear that requires grinding 200,000 of the same mobs mindlessly for days on end. It’s just totally devoid of variety, and the gear treadmill moves way too slowly as a result.
Yeah, they have shown that during a whole year lol.
I agree on the forced release, as for content, if they wasn’t so incompetent, they would had fixed most of the major bugs and introduced some content during this year of development.
Any mmorpg is like this…
That’s exactly why they all sell weapon glow, wings, pets, costumes…
To ease/mask the routine players have to do everyday…
Until either the company can’t release further content and shuts down…
or… yep you guessed it right…
Or until you, the player, have reached the point there is no fun in the game anymore and then you quit…
It’s not only in this game, but in every game we as gamers (for sure) have played…
Yeah anyone could call them amateur developers…
But the thing is, admit it or not, we like really like the game so we want to continue playing it… so we push the developers to satisfy our cravings for more content…
Then if they can’t keep up, many call them incompetent…
It’s simple to any game today, just find a reason, your OWN reason to enjoy anything you play. Lose that motivation ans you lose the will to play then we quit…
We are all gamers that surely played a lot other games than ToS before, so deep inside you know you can relate to what I just said…
Cuz it was made in Korea
Cause its a gring for gear game, lol. Like Diablo3.
I quit that game. Same stuff. Easy to be bored at. I’d say worse than ToS? (Personal) haha
I play D3 once a year for couple of weeks - grind out all new content, try out new interesting builds, etc. It’s a perfect time-killer from time to time. ToS in it’s current state is the same. The reason - no GvG.
Build up a necromancer while you can, and buy hats.
That’s all.
Theres things to do. Make a crappy kabba and go do nothing in pvp and win. Or just make a cryo - whatever you want - sage and then make an entire tree useless and annoy people with perma freeze.
Please, tell me at least 3 other MMORPG and what they do beyond “grind to get new gear” except PVP.
I’m just too curious.
I’ll be happy if there are actually things we can grind in a grinding game, rather than now where we have little to grind apart from a linear set of gear.
Farming for orange practonium weapons was frustrating so i created a Wiz2Link2Thaum2FF2.
Not viable in High level hunting grounds.
Waiting months because Mystical Cube trolls.
The DPK system make farming worse and less rewarding.
Then you get bad rolls: 0 potential weapons, +3 shields, etc.
You can run Earth Tower, twice
PVP is unbalanced, no GvG.
Boring events (come on, auto attacking a whale for 20 minutes or wasting time pressing 1 to 10 while you have 400 tickets from breaking crystals)
It’s fun to try out new builds, but you have to wait half an hour in queue. Maybe a dungeon without a cleric, and it’s painful
it’s depressing
I made my regard horn crossbow with my hackapell, I had about 4 mouringaka “things” every hour.
We need a video with someone going from +5 to +5 with 100% failed diamond anvils @15 millions silver / unit xD.
I don’t think people who use team storage are that rare, but when I leveled 13x330 chars, I had +11 +15 weapons, sissels / gladiator band / 360 physical or magical damage in hair costume etc… I never cared about not having cleric in party or weak players or even naked, they at least gave me xp party.
I’m glad to read you had much better experience than me. All my weaps never went past 9, and i had so many difficulties with dungeons (from 170 to 260 in particular)
Even with decent gears and potions.
mmorpg is a grind and buy game. They do throw in the wedding and fishing thing though… just in case you want something else to do for a while.
Try making a brand new class and see if its good?
You have collection finding, and unsolved hidden quest finding for "end game"
LOL
