Players find the grinding aspect of the game excessively tedious and time-consuming, often requiring months of effort to obtain late-game items, with many resorting to automation through scripts to manage the grind. While the ability to code and automate tasks offers some relief, the game’s design encourages repetitive and uninspired gameplay, leading to frustration over nerfs and a lack of meaningful progression. Overall, the grinding experience is seen as a double-edged sword, providing opportunities for efficiency but often at the cost of enjoyment and engagement.
- “Over time, the game becomes too pointlessly grindy.”
- “Many of the truly late game items don't even drop from monsters or have drop rates that require 6+ months of grinding.”
- “Simply grinding on mobs with the continual select-attack-kill-select-attack-kill methodology gives me no incentive to try things like building aiming functions or anything strategic.”

The gameplay of this MMORPG offers a unique integration of scripting and automation, allowing players to enhance their experience through coding, though it can lead to technical issues like freezing. While the mechanics are generally straightforward and accessible, some players find the core gameplay inconsistent and the crafting system lacking. Overall, the game is easy to pick up and return to, making it appealing for those who enjoy tinkering with scripts, despite some frustrations with documentation and repetitive elements.
- “It's an interesting take on the MMORPG genre, making the scripting and botting aspect already present in many modern MMORPGs an integral part of the actual gameplay.”
- “The mechanics of the game are very straightforward and easy to understand.”
- “It's a very simple MMORPG with the twist that you can (legally) create your own scripts to automate the gameplay.”
- “It encourages you to write code as part of gameplay, but when I did, the game black-screened and froze.”
- “And as if all of this wasn't frustrating enough, even the core mechanics of the gameplay are inconsistent.”
- “My main complaint so far is that, while the documentation on the scripting interface is fairly detailed, the documentation on certain actual gameplay elements is... not.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of depth and lore, which detracts from immersion, with players expressing a desire for a more engaging narrative or overarching goals. While the automation mechanics and teamwork provide enjoyment, the repetitive and grindy nature of quests, such as killing large numbers of enemies for minimal rewards, is seen as a drawback. Overall, the game offers freedom in gameplay but falls short in delivering a compelling story.
- “I'm having tons of fun automating my characters, having them work together as a team, solving quests and overcoming each new obstacle by writing new automation.”
- “The world and lack of lore and story definitely hurt immersion.”
- “Some overarching progression goal or light story would be nice.”
- “Any other MMORPG have boring quests and boring grinds.”

- “This game is brilliant; despite being in early access, the graphics and soundtracks are very polished.”

- “The music is forgettable and doesn't add much to the overall experience of the game.”
- “While the sound effects are decent, the music lacks variety and quickly becomes repetitive.”

The game's optimization is criticized for requiring extensive use of scripts, which can lead to high CPU usage due to unoptimized functions. While players find enjoyment in fine-tuning their characters and automating tasks, the overall performance issues hinder a smoother experience.
- “I'm having a lot of fun slowly making my character more and more optimized with automated runs to stores and the bank (better look for merchants while I'm there!), positioning during combat (as I'm ranged, I want to take as little damage as possible), and scripting out the best scenarios to use my class' skills.”
- “The optimization aspect of the game really shines when you start to automate your processes, allowing for a more efficient gameplay experience.”
- “Finding the right balance in optimization has made my gameplay smoother and more enjoyable, as I can focus on strategy rather than repetitive tasks.”
- “The optimization in this game feels lacking; it's frustrating to see my character underperform despite my efforts to improve their build.”
- “I find the optimization options to be quite limited, making it hard to tailor my character to my preferred playstyle.”
- “The game's optimization mechanics are convoluted and not user-friendly, which detracts from the overall experience.”
