grinding

Players express significant frustration with the grinding mechanics, citing issues such as unbalanced mob difficulty, low drop rates, and a lack of experience gain, particularly after recent updates. Many feel that high-level players dominate low-level areas, making it difficult for newer players to progress, while the game's looting system and overall grindiness detract from the experience. Overall, the grinding aspect is seen as tedious and uninviting, with calls for improvements to enhance player enjoyment.
- “How could we level fast if our characters are dead on grinding because mobs are too strong, even though our characters are above level 5?”
- “What makes it not player-friendly is the drop rate; it’s worse compared to other games. High-level players should not receive XP/SP and loot from mobs 7 levels below them, so they do not dominate the grinding zones of low-level players. Additionally, players 20 levels below shouldn't be able to teleport to DW and Hotan; the exploitation is so rampant that they don't even kill the party mobs.”
- “Hardcore grinding game + pay to win, not recommended for everyone.”

- “Poorly optimized even on high-spec phones. Also, shop items and subscriptions are pay-to-win. Unless you just want to enjoy PvE, in PvP, if you're free-to-play or a low spender, expect that mid-high spenders will have huge power gaps against you.”
- “Super bad optimization, super buggy too. It's so bad that my phone is as hot as the sun. Not to mention the graphics are terrible, but it's still bugging creators. What is this piece of trash?”
- “Poor optimization. I also got disconnected, and no matter which network I use, I cannot log in due to unknown reasons. I use three networks, and they are all working properly, yet this game keeps saying to check my network.”
