grinding
146 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe grinding aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players finding it excessively tedious and time-consuming. Many reviews highlight the high experience points required for leveling up, poor drop rates for essential items, and a lack of engaging content beyond repetitive monster killing. While some players enjoy the grind as a nostalgic element of MMORPGs, the consensus is that the current system needs significant adjustments to improve the overall experience.
