The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being excessively repetitive and tedious, leading to a loss of interest over time. Players note that significant time investment is required to progress, especially for free-to-play users, who may find themselves facing paywalls that hinder advancement despite their efforts. While the game shows potential initially, it ultimately becomes a grind-heavy experience with little engaging content to sustain long-term enjoyment.
- “It's very grindy and repetitive, so it doesn't hold my interest, unfortunately.”
- “Don't plan on getting your characters up to legendary or mythic status as a free-to-play gamer, unless you're willing to put at least 6 months into grinding for about 2 hours a day. Even with events that offer a scarce sum of advancement resources, free-to-play users are going to be grinding for a very long time as this is an 'idle RPG of futility.'”
- “After some quick exciting progression with a great story, you're pretty much hit with pay-to-play; otherwise, you're grinding for weeks just to advance one zone!”
