Well 9 more uru runs tonight and nothing. I really need a couple drops to make the jump to 1900 , can then do t2 transcendence and try to push for fire temple. This bad rng is going to hold me back hard. Or I just +10 the gear I have and go in with 4 blues from msq still.

That's not cope, homie, that's trolling. Math is math. It's just stupid low drop rates, then you have to get lucky and not get a weapon drop for another class, or an armor piece you already have. Then the limited energy on top of that.

Raes sounds like he plays like a bot would play, but gets outplayed by the actual bots who don't get the bot prevention measures, while spamming this thread about how terrible the game is...

Yeah, I shouldn't complain about being punished for playing efficiently...Or about having my gameplay interrupted by poorly thought out and badly coded anti-bot measures.
The proc fishing shit isn't even anti-bot, it's anti-player. And the captcha does nothing except annoy actual players.
And the game isn't terrible, it's fantastic, it's the best predatory phone game I've ever played. The devs should be proud.

As a hard casual these days, is it worth grinding the sub-45 dungeons a few times to get pieces and whatnot or just one and done and keep it moving through the story to level cap? I haven't looked anything up as far as guides or anything of the sort, just rolled up a ranger and have been enjoying my way so far (level 31 or something now, just did the level 28 dungeon once this morning).

- A system will be added to restrict the listing of gathering materials on the Market based on gameplay history.
By analyzing characters' gameplay history, the development team aims to target automated bots that exclusively farm resource nodes without participating in other core aspects of the game.
- The Restriction: Accounts flagged with suspicious gameplay history (such as zero progression in combat, dungeons, or high-level content) are restricted from listing gathering materials for sale on the in-game Market.
- The Goal: Instead of relying entirely on traditional ban waves, this restriction effectively cuts off the financial incentive for Real Money Trading (RMT) operations. It prevents bots from liquidating raw resources into Kinah (the game's currency) and disrupting the player-driven economy.
If bots couldn't run your shitty "dungeons" they wouldn't be able to complete the MSQ and reach level 45 to access the Market in the first place.
(Btw, gating your MSQ with group required content is retarded, I thought we established this decades ago?)
If this would actually work, why do the other regions that have been running for a year still have a huge botting problem?
I'll put money on this negatively impacting legit players...

Whatever combination of things they've done in the past few days has pretty much nuked the existing bot population, I'm sure they will return, but as of right now, its pretty glorious. I've actually been able to gather Trees, Plants and Odyle.

Sounds like my rng. Cant even get blue cards,despite multiple t2 runs. Managed to hit 2000 without blue cards, crafted a yellow chalice card, which boosted me to 2066, running vakron to try and replace my last blue(3 more runs to pity) to hit 2100, then I can just spam run den or fire temple and burn the stockpile of energy potions I have.

Yeah, it's rough.. flashbacks of when I raided non stop in vanilla WoW and we had to save up raid points to "purchase"/bid on the boss drops if a piece dropped for our class, haha... except I have the points and still nothing drops, lol. I got a ring to drop yesterday after 15 runs of the jungle whatever expedition and used pity to get the necklace I think it was.

Is that high? What's the other number (ie 1400 or whatever you're up to) ?
My problem with this type of game, is that despite how pretty it is and fun stuff like the Monster hunt perma bonuses, when I miss a day or two the feeling of being far behind keeps me from logging in. I got some enjoyment out of it, wasted a bit of money as I switched servers and lost the sub, but I think I'm done until Forever launches. No regrets between this and Blue Protocol Star Resonance though, I'm easily entertained for a while.
