chinese grind fest? Ever played a grinding mmo? Doesnt sound like it.
Leveling is easy as never, never has been that quick without any real effort, except for time. You don't need to be skilled, you don't need to kill people or use any gold to get xp/gold ticks.
Getting 50k gold doesn't take that long either. With new chars that is easily achieved at level ~ 25.
So your suggestion is, that leveling gets "easier" until what level? 30? So everyone is able to keep up with anyone else? The level doesn't matter to get kills. There are so many threads about this, this topic is so 2010.
Devs already said something about changing the level system btw, let's just wait for it. But this kind of threads is just annoying.
If new players don't even like the beginning of crpg, how could they like the game later on, at level 30+?
What Haboe says. Hardly can call crpg grind...
