Castrum grind might stop me from subbing

[Arriverderci]

So people that doesn't agree with the OP can't have their own opinions without being called a White Knight....Gotcha....ROLLS EYES.

And get off your high horse, noone said everything was fine and dandy, seems like you had that thought in your head and just wanted to ramble about it. Don't put words in my mouth.

Wasn't necessarily aiming that to you.
There is a difference between having your own opinion and others telling people to go Play WoW or "Game is fine, it's not for you." other stupid comments.
People get enough of that.
With the way you guys act on the friggin' forums you act like none of us can say a single thing with this game, and provide suggestions to boot then you get told off. You can think the end-game is fine, but others don't.
Go ahead and let the game go down the drain like every other MMO in MMO history because having suggestions about things or y'know, having the same generic crap from other MMO's gets tiring. 2013, you'd think you'd step up the games by now. Don't give me the "It's the same MMO, name me one MMO who does bla bla." This coulda been different but nah lol.

If you're not aiming at me, please don't quote me.

I quoted you because of the whole White Knight business. Obviously, say something that isn't good to the player in the game.
White Knights are quick to defend. You can disagree but don't get jerky. Some of you folk disagree and add so much BS rudeness in it it's uncalled for.
So yep, White Knights. Nothing more to be said.

The suggestions, and people saying everything is fine was not to you. But that does get annoying.

what do you expect from a gear score game all of them are the same its always that 1-2 raids/boss fights to grind just to get geared. when new content is added all you gear is garbage then you do it again on the new content, same with level cap increase.

Best of luck in your future non-MMO gaming endeavors.

If thats all you got from the thread then maybe you should go back and read it again eh? Point out where the OP stated he wanted SE to hand him tomes with no grind? He also asked for others thoughts on how they may solve the issue, your honestly whats wrong with the community I roll my eyes every time I see one of your species post on the forums. A sad attempt at a snarky comment and no helpful contribution to the post is that what you come on the forums for lol? GG Mr. many many many many many many years just another punk with a forums account.

Best of luck in your future MMO gaming endeavors troll.

tbh i didnt have to do Castrum that much to get all my DL gear, maybe 5 times at the most. I prefer Praetorium of the two and ran it maybe 7 times. most of my philosophy tomestones came from running AK over and over trying to get that Hoplite Ring.

You don't need to focus only on grinding castrum.

There is still the matter of your Cross-skills that needs to be unlocked.

crafting for gears and profit.

collecting mini-pets.

and if you love unlocking more things then play each class/job to unlock each class/job storyline cutscenes for your cutscene book.

If you want a real challenge then try collecting all relic weapons.

My problem is that I don't know what to do now. Level another job? I hate fating so won't enjoy the leveling experience and don't want to grind AK/CM/Prae more so my jobs are going to be "gimp" in AK greens.

Do what i do when leveling other class/jobs.

Mix things up a bit.

Sometimes I do old fashing kill grind in areas where fates will spawn a lot so I'm not too far from my hunting spot or if you have extra leves you don't know what to use them for try using them for leveling your other class/job for a completely different expereience from that fate spam to win fest since each leve has different mechanics and tasks.

If you really went at this... it would take 1 week to get all of them. Only takes 3hrs per weapon if you have an endgame guild.... That is the problem with the game, it is a gear handout combined with a major lack of content.

My ls is doing full relic runs, start to finish, in about 2hrs 30min's. You can easily get every one of them in a day. The only thing that makes this game hard is running with pugs.

Doing things to gain money is ok to a point, in a game like this one that has no real money sink, where there is no reason to spend money other than teleports and repairs, the point comes up fairly quickly and its no longer content.

Collecting/achievements are not content and are and always will be worthless, its like collecting every sword in the game just because, SE could make having every primal weapon an achievement but that does not make it worth doing in any way. Achievements even existing in any game is just sad and the fad needs to die.

Leveling jobs and unlocking all abilities on the other hand is valid, if you do not have every job capped, and know how to play it, you have not yet won. Every single person in any LS should be versatile and be playing w/e job is needed, not just your favorite job (not a fan of 1 trick ponies), just remember LS's/guilds should not be about you, its about the group. Somewhat tired of the threads full of people today saying they shouldn't have to level other jobs than their mains, they are selfish, which is fine if you play solo.
