I really liked the PvE, it was pretty fun. Levels came almost stupid simple and fast.

Now I followed a simple guide to get from fresh 60 to 11.5k gs GF, I turned my attention to crafting and PvP.

Wow.. what awful let downs both of these game facets are. I can't recall a game where it's been this bad.

Here's what is so disappointing:
1. I have Platesmithing since I play a GF. But the prices on the AH are ridiculous to say the least. Tools, workers, Residuum. You name it. I have been spending HOURS staring at the stupid AH looking for deals. They don't exist. So unless I again open my wallet (purchased the Founder's Pack + another $80 in Zen), I am not getting anywhere. I've spent enough for now, and moving along in crafting is not just painful, it's insulting.

Really? I can't craft a set of PvP or some gear that is comparable with dungeon drops? Customizing, creativity, accessorizing don't show up, anywhere.

Pants and shirts are all I get for a gargantuan investment in crafting? You released this game in THIS sort of shape?

2. I have to try trading with people in town to offload the HAMSTER I bought in Profession Packs, which aren't cheap, because of the RNG. Really? I get to spend actual cash to pick these babies up and less than half of them have given me the tools or people I need for MY crafting. So after spending REAL money, I get to spend REAL hours advertising in town to correct this. As in, not playing the game, but in trying to get what I actually paid for and wanted. Which I DIDNT GET.

3. PvP - I played the Gaunt. 20v20 match once so far. It's been some weeks since then. The queue for it doesn't show any more. If this isn't bad enough, all that's left are 2 simple shoeboxes for PvP battling. This gets old.

4. I bought gear off the AH once I dinged 60. It's better than anything I can get for these glory badges. Why am I PvPing without rewards or even a prospect of getting better gear? This game IS about the gear, isn't it?

5. How many ****ing currencies are in this game? I lost count.

I like the combat system. I like my GF. I love the graphics. And I've paid my actual dollars to reward this company for the work done so far. But it falls really, really short now at 60.

My interest is waning fast. And some buyer's remorse is setting in, but that's not really important to me. I really want to like this game but it's got huge, gaping holes and I am losing interest quickly.

    For comparison, I've been 60 for about a week and have 3-4 purples now. A couple from Glory, one lucky GG crypt drop, Icon from the AH. Anyway, I only spent real money for more bank slots because profession packs and stuff are a RNG gamble. I'm still playing the free version and don't mind saving AD, I really need a bigger bag. I probably won't buy any gear, I'll aquire it through epics, never was a fan of buying gear. Anyway, you have a lot of concerns but the point is there are people like me who just hit 60 and are only now exploring the end game. (btw I've done 2 GG in the last two nights, so much fun)

    Neverwinter II is scheduled for closed beta testing in the summer of 2014, with the game scheduled for launch in 2015. Just need to relax, because everything that's gone wrong in Neverwinter will be addressed, and fixed in Neverwinter II.

    Your a FB and your posting reply like this. Has your FB status changed. I thought once you drank enough of the koolaid you went to far and couldnt become normal again.

    I feel for the OP who spent way to much cash on this game, but if you did your research before hand you wouldnt of waisted your real money on this game. I for one will never start a MMO now without checking the forums first for about month or so.

    Now OP there will be a MOd 1 expansion supposed to be out this summer. But you probly know by now anything released thats new from this company is riddled with bugs, issues and just doesnt work. Then it takes month or so to address the issues and then patch comes out fixs the problem but causes some other issues. Plain and simple nothing is tested first before launch

    I am not playing NW II, I am playing (for a little longer anyway) NW. I think your post is sarcastic but really don't get what direction you are going with this.

    This game has potential, but it falls short. NW II doesn't exist.
