The reviews highlight a mixed sentiment towards grinding in the game, with many players finding it excessive and tedious, especially at higher levels.

- “To be fair, most if not all MMORPGs are pay-to-win, but this game is 100% pay-to-win. You will never have a chance unless you pay lots of cash, and even if you're content with just playing for fun, the grinding needed to make your character somewhat acceptable is overwhelming; it's not worth it.”
