I consumed a lot of copium but played regardless, hoping I would get to something fun. I continued to spam PvP even when I began to realize how shaky the balance was at higher ranks. I was constantly creating new classes in Lost Ark Gold the hopes that it would bring me something that brought me joy unlike my other classes, even though the story was abysmally boring. Finally, I realized that I wasn't having fun anymore. I had become addicted and was coping with it, so I quit.
I kinda agree with your thoughts as well. Spent about $50 for Lost Ark Pass and extra for a few character slots. It's been 1100 hours at this point in the headstart launch. Perhaps 5% was at AFK since I was spending a few days sitting around waiting for the spawning of wandering merchants.
So far I've gotten one LVL 1445 5 1370. 2 1340 characters Ignea Tokens 13. and cleared Valtan One of the hardest days. I've finished my relationship with around every NPC except for one dozen islands. 70% to 70% completion on all collectible as well as horizontal material.
It's probably safe to say that I've played through everything the game offers. It was enjoyable because I'm from grind games such as Runescape, Path of Exile, Warframe, Granblue Fantasy and many other gacha game. Time-gated and daily content is super common minus POE, so I'm used to it. I'm convinced that it's an excellent game specifically for my audience however it's extremely difficult to play for anybody else.
It just takes way longer to get to the entertaining content. When you're there, it's likely that you can only do it only once per week. I think I'm able to recommend the game later when we'll see 1390 hyper-express events that you'll have the ability to jump right into the content of the final game. However, for now, if you're interested in raids it's a huge expense in time and money in best place to buy Lost Ark Gold order to complete the current endgame with no activities or boosters. There are some who prefer endless daily grinds and watching their numbers rise but.
