If you enjoy the gameplay, keep playing. If you're trying to catch up with the veterans and play for hours just for stats, better quit the game. I had 30 million of cRPG credits and level 35, but in the end I've thrown that away.
Sometimes I feel a desire to start playing again but then I remember how long it will take to get on level with others and just stop thinking about it. So yeah, cRPG is very grindy if you look at it that way. But it is a fun game to play.
Will grind again in cRPG2, but grinding cRPG at this moment seems pointless. Your gif is right, it feels like beating a dead horse. If you're new in this mod, I think you arrived a little late to the party.
