Not a rant post, more of, it's just not for me post.
Played for about 2 months, played 2 realms, both characters were at level 12.
It is just becoming more difficult and tedious without spending money. But, if I was spending money, I would be more critical of the game. Spending money to speed up travel, or to craft multiple objects at a time? No thanks.
What did it for me was the backpack space. One page is not enough to carry enough potions/food to get through a multi-stage dungeon at level. Even throwing everything in my house, and buying above level potions (imperial city general store), I cannot cram enough in there to heal my party through 8 dungeons for the storyline quest in Sonomia (sp?). I have 3 mercenaries per character and decent (at level) gear and weapons for everyone in the party, but it just doesn't get the job done. I'm sure another level or two, and a gold star next to the creatures in my stats would help, but by the time I am able to finish it, I probably will have very little chance to complete it again before I am over level and locked out.
The crafting thing is extremely tedious. All games need a time and resource sink, but this seems to be way more then most. Logging on, clicking something, then waiting 20 minutes, clicking something, waiting another 20 mins, and repeat for hours until you run out of APs is not that fun.
I understand, you get what you pay for, and if you pay nothing, well, what can you expect? But, most "free" games make it possible to play for free, but if you are willing to put in a little money, things will happen faster, and more easily. However, around here, it looks like I am moving in a direction of pay money, or it is almost impossible to move up. I don't like that.
I'm not bashing the game, although I'm sure some will think I am. I played it for almost 2 months. But, I am realizing it is not for me. Good luck guys.
