Players find the grinding mechanics in the game both engaging and efficient, particularly through strategies like pushing enemies off ledges for quick kills and utilizing helpers for resource collection. While many enjoy the repetitive nature of skill grinding and the community support, some express frustration with the game's PvP dynamics, which can hinder new players and make the grinding experience feel overly punishing. Overall, the game appeals to those who appreciate grind-heavy gameplay, but it may not be suitable for everyone due to its repetitive elements and PvP challenges.
- “It's way too repetitive and grindy for me to play; however, if you like that kind of gameplay, this is for you.”
- “Tried to give this a shot, but PvP is a joke. The higher-level players just kill all the new players and take all their stuff (and it takes hours of grinding for you to get anything good). Then they go and brag about it in their Discord. The devs said they aren't going to do anything about PvP; the game is pretty much now about bullying new players, so unless you start off over level 60, don't give it a shot.”
- “I've kind of been addicted to it; it's mainly grinding skills.”
