Heisenberg

I started playing in 2004 and I quit the game in late 2006 after extreme grinding and countless hours of play with NO CHEATING only got me to level 56. Those endless grinds of killing the same set of mobs for hours and hours at a time was not fun, and there were so many bugs in the game that GMs were spending most of their time getting people unstuck from the scenery. I came back in 2011 to a game better suited to quicker advancement, not as many drops, less adena, but the game was now FREE. It was obvious that NC Soft was not seeking or implementing recommendations from a game theory specialist on in-game economics because drastically lowering adena drops was the absolutely wrong thing to do. I remember when I had 80 million adena in 2006 and that was a fortune. Creating an artificial chokehold on adena drops was the worst thing one could do to stop the offline Adena bot/sellers. But to those that complain about the ridiculousness of macro and auto farming, I recommend that you go to Classic and find out for yourself how stupid and useless the grind for little xp can be.

Played 2004 - 2006 as Healer (back when the healer was also the buffer), got really tired of the endless grinding for such little xp, and went to grad school, so I quit the game. Came back in 2013 and started all over because I didn't save my account in 2009.
