First of all i am an experienced mmo player and i started this post cus i am mostly very happy with the game so far and especially with combat,class fantasy and story,but i also feel that there are issues in the levelling process that needs revision.
I didnt start in a recommended server for the bonus exp since i had friends in the server i joined which i think is the case for many newcomers,between levels 40 - 50 i couldn't keep up with the msq cus i didn't have the required level,that led to many hours of fates farming as well as palace of the dead which gave a very grindy aspect to the game cus the exp i gained felt under rewarding.When i reached level 50 i was able to keep up with the msq (so far) but i need 1.000.000 exp to 52 and the rewarded exp is 4,800 which feels awfully terrible especially after pushing and try Harding to level 50.what i want to emphasize is that i didn't have any cutscene skipped before 50 lvl but after 6-7 hours of non stop questing and get rewarded for less than 5k per completion really killed my patient and lead to cutscenes skipping and rushing.That's my experience so far.
