Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, noting that it often feels repetitive and unbalanced, especially when players can purchase advantages. While some appreciate the game's art and mechanics, many feel that the rewards for grinding are insufficient, leading to a loss of interest. Additionally, the presence of farming bots and the potential for losing progress to opponents further detracts from the enjoyment of grinding.
- “The game used to be fun, but it seems stupid to do a repetitive event for one of four unique titans and have it be for a competition. It doesn't make it fair for everyone else playing the game because if you earn enough points through grinding, then someone just buys a package and gets shot up to the top of the ranking. What was the point? I mean, I've bought a package myself in the game when I had a problem, but that's more of just telling someone, 'Here, take the easy route and don't bother.'”
- “Just lost interest grinding for bad rewards.”
- “It's a farm game where you spend 6 hours farming daily and set up multiple farm accounts.”
