Part of this is also not really feasible for the masses. Guessing you have a shit load of gold, cause most people don't have the excess to do instant una's.
I also forgot rapport. Guess that's completely optional, but that shit adds up too.
I'm also a bit suspect on these 3 minute chaos runs, but okay.
I agree it's not feasible for people who didn't setup to do so. I did/do it this way specifically to maintain a healthy balance of time invested + rewards from the very beginning.
Yeah I don't bother with anymore rapport. I got the meaningful ones done and yes I had a shit load of gold and converted blue crystals from before bot ban/market dump. Now I'm hovering around an ever declining pile of around 100k and <5k bc =O
Also if you have a newer video card/pc adding these lines -novsync -notexturestreaming -useallavailablecores to the launch items literally shaves mad time of loading for me which means near instant in/out of chaos etc.
You are correct using your time efficiently is the way to go. I also rotate around alts to use rested because it would be foolish not to, even so at the end of the day you are still doing chores. We can argue semantics around it all day long but I don't and you don't play this game to do your daily Una's/Chaos you are playing because you enjoy the abyss group type content. As Gravel said the amount do shit (unenjoyable content) so you can do (enjoyable content) ratio is shit. You can bypass this with cold hard cash money, or botting the ever living shit out of the game.
If you can't see why that is detrimental then I don't know what to say, the game is already experiencing a drop off in players, I mean it's something that happens in all MMO's but there are tons of people who have complained their friends they rolled with quit playing, hell in the guild there was a pretty sharp drop off as well.
You add in the fact that Amazon really doesn't seem to give a shit about botting/RMTing and it really leaves a sour taste for people. The game has potential to be very good and enjoyable and like most games I play I would rather see is healthy and growing but some shit just doesn't work on the U.S. market.
Pheons for alts is another example of shit that kills the game for many as an example.
I don't disagree with the pain points, but you know me I don't really get worked up over video game stuff. I just do my shit and if it stops being fun for me I move on and I've built the way I play around maximizing my fun without getting annoyed with the dumb. I don't even really play with people other than randoms. Basically single player RPG for me right now like the rest of the MMOs minus the stint in classic.
