this game is prettty much on it's last leg i see less and less ppl now. NCsoft is probably trying to milk it for all its worth before they closed it down. it's too hard for a new player to enjoy this game the cost of upgrade and the grind/farm for material is too costly. i understand they gotta make their money for keeping the server open but how are you to get new player to play and spend money when the game doesn't even help you to enjoy it's content. NC store doesn't help either with everything in there is so costly. you basically gotta spend $100 each time just to have enough ncCoin to buy a couple item that you might need to further your game play. maybe NCsoft needs to rethink their marketing strategy. old players are already set..they have their gears to do what they need to do but new players good luck cause no one is willing to carry you through a dungeon so you can catch up to everyone else and maybe just maybe enjoy the game a little. so all in all i understand where Rayane is coming from. blades and soul isn't a player friendly game where new players can enjoy, it's more of thank you for playing now give me your bank account type of game. Rayane my advice to you is since there no pvp there's no point in trying to get top gear of the back. work with what you have and just slowly work your way up..all there is is just dungeon run after run. just do your daily and just keep saving eventually you'll be gear up like everyone else. no pvp so no point in rushing to have top gears.
