Is anyone annoyed by the HUGE number of people using bots on this game?

Some people actually like the crafting system. From what I hear the whole grinding-ness of it is fairly attractive to japanese players. Personally I kinda enjoy it. It's boring by itself but fun to do when watching university lectures or netflix. Saying "people bot because the system sucks" isn't a good argument because there are alternatives in the game like levelling dow/dom. If crafting is too tedious and boring then don't craft. Wasn't that the point of the game in the first place? That people could choose different jobs to -MAIN- so if you didn't like crafting you could just stick to dom/dow?

Would like to touch on this simply because of the repair system. If you don't have crafts leveled you either have to find someone to repair for you or use the npc. No other game does this to this extent where it basically feels like crafting is required.

you can pay NPCs to repair. its expensive but not -that- expensive. I managed to push mrd to 50 by doing that since at the time there were like only 2 ppl on the server who could actually repair my axes. But you are right.
