I love this game also. I play 2-4 hours after work and on my one day off I hope to get 5-6 hours in although I miss a day here and there.
I recently got my monk to 50 and got two pieces of DL gear. Working on getting my others. While waiting for the duty I finished fishing and have now moved onto mining although the duty finder has only been about 20 min wait for castrum dps. I try to get one to two castrum runs in a night after work but sometimes I will just find myself mining or fishing because I enjoy that a lot also.
This game for me has tons of things to do. I want to level archer soon but I'm to addicted to gearing up my monk. I also want to get some crafting class up to 50 but I am having to much fun with gathering classes. Like I said there is no shortage of things for me to do that I enjoy. I cant wait to get off work and start playing the game.
The people who complain really only want to play one class and only gear that one class up. You are missing out on so many more things. If you do not enjoy or not want to play these things then you obviously are not going to like this game.
