Hmmmm, let me see...
Summary: you need to sell cheaper Soul shot / spirit shot in the grocer to encourage new players and decrease the strength of monsters in Beleth and other areas below 105. Instances (level 100-105) can only be made by veterans geared.
I am a player f2p, set exalted, level 103 (dual class), it took me 1 day (19 hours) to get 10%~15% experience in war-pains.
I've thought about investing money in the game, but it all seems very out of reality, $400 is useless comparing the cost benefit.
Beginners take an excessive time to kill the mobs, difficult, 1 in 1 (titan), peoples only invite to party feoh/yull cos aoe, while veterans kill with 1 hit, veterans take less than 1 day to create a character and advance to level 105.
I tried to play on a map 102 Beleth, however, the monster hits me 1 hit of 4k damage, I put a healer and an ISS to assist me, the MP of the healer ends in a short time and I need to get off the map.
Soul shot is very expensive to starters, the adena that a beginner makes, is less than the cost of the SS, while people of higher level, farm a river of money.
The server instances are not balanced:
in Baylor, a veteran 110 kills with few attacks, a beginner 105 does no damage and dies with 1 hit.
kamaloka, full party starter, fail.
Gludio dungeon, we didn't even go through the entrance.
IT, my main character 105, hit 23 damage, not always with you, but a few days of the week some veteran (very rare) offers to kill the 150 monsters to ensure a little xp.
