OP kinda reminds me of my friend
when rank 8 came out here in iTOS i posted it on social media… and it seemed that i unintentionally attracted three of my friends to play it
friend no. 1 said he stopped one month prior to rank 8 but plans on coming back (it’s either he’s fed up with the game or he is busy irl)
friend no. 2 asked me how the game is, i told him about it being so restrictive and if he liked RO, he’ll probably like TOS (he played RO til before renewal, to which he said RO became more complicated with renewal)
friend no. 3 (reminds me of OP) he’s been asking me for info since this game’s 2nd cbt, seems like he only started recently, he bombarded me with questions (gems, cards, blessed shards etc.) and i replied with a volley of answers. he was a bit disappointed of some restrictions like the 1 item on market for non token users. i gave him tips on leveling but he said he just wants to do quests and take his time (it seems that he wasn’t even deterred with bots in tenet church)
