Just to say something Anima is only use for casual players who don't have much time to play which then = they get Anima back faster due to them playing less so they stay around 50+ Anima. Now if your hardcore player and playing 8hour a day doing crafting leves + guildleves and many other stuff then you have to walk all over the world to get the best leves,marks and so on. Due to this the idea was for you to walk which really does not take you long when they release chocbos and airship it would fix this issue.

leves would be nerf so it be more solo play and they would release quest hubs / dungeon to level up. Top of that they said they going to release way for you to level up by killing mobs outside city but i guessing that part wont happen to the map fix.

The game is not going down hill at all it starting to pick up really
