Feedback on PWI?

1. I find myself needing to grind the rest of my level as soon as 45. With all these x2 EXP and x3 EXP going on though, it's pretty easy.

2. While not necessary, things like charms for HP and MP can be purchased from either the Cash Shop or ingame. If you plan to TW and PvP at a higher level, buying items to upgrade your gear from the Cash Shop is sometimes very needed if you want to survive.

3. Pretty much. It's certainly a large part of it at 90+.

4. Not really, though I've only played PvE servers. PvP looks like they're a real thrill, though.

5. Not at all; you usually get a warning if you spam WC or pretend to be a GM or whatever. Unless you blatantly go against the ToS, it's usually safe.

6. We don't bite.

1.) Depends on your definition of severe. Grinding becomes necessary at around level 60 (assuming you do your dailies). There are certain things you can do at 71+ and 80-85+ that can help you in leveling, but if you choose not to do them regularly it could get 'severe' depending on how long you play a day.
2) It's not necessary. You could reach level 105 without ever having spent a dime. Not necessarily easy, but eh.
3.) Not always. In PvP that DOES tend to be the case, but you can still acquire pretty good gear without spending money. It'll just take awhile longer.
4.) I haven't noticed. Definitely no spam bots or anything like that. Harassment can easily be solved by using your blacklist and the ticket system.
5.) Mmm.. kind of. Some things slide through WC, but for the most part people who abuse it are silenced, warned, or possibly banned. Circumventing the chat filter in WC will get you muted if a GM's around, as will anything that's explicit.
6.) Probably varies from server to server, but I haven't met many bad people on HT. In general there seems to be a pretty decent amount of people willing to help out newbies and explain things to them.

1) When does severe grinding occur? (at what level?)


Never

2) As you level up does using real-world currency become a necessity? I know in some games you have to buy certain armor or stat boosters in order to upgrade your armor


No but you'll need to do a lot of farming


3)Is this game simply whoever spends the most real-life money is the best?

Whoever spends the most/farms the most

4)Is there a lot of harassing/spamming in this game?

Not really

5)Are the rules strictly in forced? Do you get muted for anything? (I played this one game where I got banned for 32 hours for speaking French)


Nope

False. You can never obtain a lot of boutique items (refining aids included, i.e the stuff that you upgrade your equipment with) without getting them from other players, unless you charge zen yourself of course.

Which means, those other players had to charge zen themselves. If you can't find people selling them or charging and selling gold, you'll never be able to acquire them.

And then, the rate at which you get them wholly depends on what the players want in exchange.

Which then means, you never had to directly charge zen yourself, which is what the OP is asking. He isn't asking "does somebody need to charge zen so I can get my items?". No, he's asking "Do I need to charge zen". Which the answer is no.

1. I haven't found that you need "severe" grinding yet at my level with all the dailies and such
2. Not really you can always farm coin if there's stuff u want from the boutique
3. Eh sorta in pvp
4. Not really
5. No, u might get warned/banned for some things, but they definitely wont ban u for speaking another language

HI b:victory

So before I start playing PWI I want to get some feedback from players :P

So please answer b:surrender and don't flame me

1) When does severe grinding occur? (at what level?)
no grinding, they implemented a dungeon-bounty-hunter system with high exp rewards, grinding is not worth it for exp but when ur broke u might go grind :P

2) As you level up does using real-world currency become a necessity? I know in some games you have to buy certain armor or stat boosters in order to upgrade your armor
refining armors with +hp or weapons +attack is possible on a LOW chance, like u get +3 maybe 4 without cash shop, and get killed by +10 pvp wise..

you can obtain any butique item without spending real money

3)Is this game simply whoever spends the most real-life money is the best?
yes, but skilled merchants can obtain anything too, you can buy gold with coin - its just the hard way but anything is possible

4)Is there a lot of harassing/spamming in this game?
no

5)Are the rules strictly in forced? Do you get muted for anything? (I played this one game where I got banned for 32 hours for speaking French)b:cry
i see some annoying russian spam sometimes, and spam german myself... no bans :P

6)How friendly is the community?
what keeps me playing this for years?
