To my great surprise, I am actually enjoying this now that I have pushed through the beginner grind and hit level 9. If you think this place is absolute garbage because of the extreme grind and impossible number of resources required to purchase relics (like I did), I would highly recommend toughing it out and gaining a few levels. Join the train, struggle for your life weaving between monsters that will one shot you, and be patient. I already have 700 plus protean crystals and didnt even realize until i got back to town. Forget about the resources and just work on leveling up and the rest will come naturally. Like others have said, the first 1-8 levels could use some adjusting but once that is addressed the place will be much better imo.
