“No grinding like some survival games.”
“The level locks are long and tedious, leading most into the cash pit to be bled dry in order to progress at all.”
“The game is plagued with developers that do not listen to the community; the gear that can be crafted in the higher progress of the game is absolutely pay to win and totally impractical, which can lead to about 28 months of grinding to get it as a free-to-play player.”
“Every single update since I started playing has pushed free-to-play players away, making it super grindy for everything.”

Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting significant lag and performance issues, especially after updates.

“Game is good but needs more optimization like reducing the lag and increasing the fps.”

“They did create a beta for testing, but for me, it's useless as it doesn't even reduce the bugs we encounter. It even lags more, which leads me to quit the game. More updates, less optimization.”
