IMO, the game doesn't feel entertaining to a regular player. I work from 7-16 everyday, i go home, i login and then my 2nd job starts in Aion. I have to farm like a madman, bust my nyerk off and solo prome/makarna, grind all the pvp/pve instances with as few ppl as possible, just to stay relevant and get "better" rewards then normal people.
My gear is certainly way above average with full ultimate +10-+15. And my 4th legendary transform was luckily finally a PHYSICAL one. (got it finally 2 weeks ago).
For a "regular" player, i would run and hide after first 10 minutes of being level 80 and reaching end-game content. The cash-wall that some items(stigma enchant, daeva skills, transforms etc.) are behind is unreachable for many of us. I myself resorted in "merching" certain items on broker and selling everything i own in-game, just to get all stigmas +9/+10 took me like 2 months -.-. If i had used Euros, i would have had all stigmas +9-+12 in 20 minutes
or however much time i could have needed to enchant them from +0-+12.
So as Rinnie mentioned on previous post, you either quit ur real-life job and farm like a lunatic while never missing any entry and using up all the CDs, every day, every month, you will never progress in this "game/job"(lets be honest, feels like a 2nd job if u wanna be good at it)
Ive been playing Aion since 2009 and it has never felt so bad to login. Maybe i am just getting old and i feel like i have other responsibilities and i cant waste 5+hours a day online just to not fall behind with the rest of the server.
I hope Vashiro 's post will be of any use and they will actually read it. You are doing GODs work, keep it up
