So, I've logged after maintenance today and I haven't yet moved my toon from the city. Apart the specific fact that I was bummed for missing only 2 unity marks for a reward and couldn't play before maintenance... I can't find the strenght to play it anymore. I like the game at his core, I like the general design, I like the familiar system (even if it has flaws)... but it's riddled with problems and there's not a single hint that they will ever get solved.
I can't stand anymore the lack of an LFG tool (which leads to an insane amount of wasted time), the little QoL annoyances ( http://forums.icarus.nexon.net/discussion/16655/a-few-qol-things ), the pointless chores (feathers...), the insane RNG (in a few months running leg dungeons - and by the way how stupid is it that for runing certain dungeons you need the gear from THAT VERY SAME DUNGEON? - I've seen a set piece for my class *ONCE* and ofc it was 2 slots with bad stats), the excessive P2W (which leads to elitism), the failed craft and dumb time gating...
I think I lasted to this day only because the event gave some purpose to my time spent online. Now? There's none.
Skinner's box works only if effort and reward are balanced.
I can't force myself to play it anymore. And I don't think many people will last much longer, if it will keep to be managed like it's now.
Fuz out, have fun to all who stay.
