Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, noting that it can be undermined by others who pay to skip the grind, leading to an imbalance in gameplay. The cosmetic rewards for grinding are seen as lackluster and not worth the effort, diminishing the overall experience.
- “I bring this up because you can be playing a game, doing your best, putting effort into winning, and one of these guys can just show up and start farming you.”
- “It would be fine if it was cosmetic only, but you can literally pay to skip the grinding with no other use than to buy clothing options that are clunky and unnoticeable at best with the top-down perspective. You can color your hair or wear a balaclava and glasses; that's about it.”
