Only a player over rank 35 can grasp how terrible this is. There's a huge exp/sp sink to get to rank 50. You don't feel this "hump" till around 35. It around there you get a rank everyday with a good grind/leve sesh (mean you link leves with at least 4 people using all good leves and failing sometimes). Soloing isn't fun to me, but neither was this grind past the 30s. SO either way they've kinda effed up on the fun department here. If you guys like soloing thats effing cool, but I haven't noticed very many people with higher level ranks in staunch defense of this new system. And i would love leves to not be the main focus of the game, they suck, they really do. If you like leves, and you've made it 50 and you liked the whole failing leves thing and all that, I think you're crazy. But thats just me. For some people this is their first mmo and their expectations are low, I get that. They can't just tell me "solo to 50 then group up with people" or "solo to 25 then group up to do dungeons and behest, and then rank up to 45 by yourself and do dungeons again with people", every mmo now a days does that, less mmos do "party gameplay" making the original concept of leves original. They could come out and say "oh we have party based plans", which they did say, but it sounded like its coming out 1.20 which is slated for September, they don't understand we have real lives now, I have college to attend in september, so i'll just chill and wait for party based play in mmo...that's just not right.
