    I'm not at all sure if your estimate of 200-300+ hours is realistic or not, but lets say it is. If you play for 2 hours each day it would take 100-150 days. That is very reasonable for this type of game. MMORPGs are meant to be played for years, what's 100-150 days when you have played for 2, 3 or even 6 years already?

    If you really think that 200-300 hours is too much to spend on this game, then maybe you should find something ells to do?

    You are not lame at all you are more sane that most people in this game.
    I feel like I am in a place where people are brainwashed beyond hope and that I am waking up I guess you are waking up too.

    I started daydreaming how cool would it be to play a moon fairy but then I realized ......


    New character =
    Leveling from 1 to 101 =
    Doing BH daily
    combining stones for crazy stonesYou can always buy them
    Doing World quest
    Forming PV
    cultivation quests
    Full DeltaYou are not forced to do it anymore
    Farming TT or buying TT matsAnother thing you can buy
    Doing primals
    Doing Morai
    Farming neumaYou are not forced to
    Farming warsoulIs this really necessary?
    Saving NW tokens again
    Farming FSP to get cards.You can still get 2 coins for free daily
    Meridian system all over againThis doesn't take more than 30 seconds of your time...
    Full WS runs again!You are not forced to
    bloods UCH Again!You are not forced to
    Farming NW tokensYou can buy the mats
    Cube again or more cube runs for those still doing it
    +10 all gear all over again.Account stash stone?
    I forget something right?
    etc
    etc
    etc


    If you a merchant or farmed that makes a lot of money you would not have problem gearing up but you still have to a lot of things you can not simply buy and you will have to invest over 200+ hours to keep up with other people.Basic badges,primal bloods,cards,primal dailies to raise spirit,meridian doing cultivations quests. etc etc etc

    If you want an alt, you dont have to invest a lot of time on it, it is an alt after all. You can skip most dailies quests and have crappy gear if you want, unless you want that alt to be your main. That is how it works.

    ^ this. o.o


    If you're not interested in actual competitive PvP then you have no reason to stress over catching up. It sucks for those that want to make the new class(es) their new main(s) but... those people are probably already preparing for it.. like saving money for the skills/gears, stacking event gold (codes/promos) on the account the toon will be created on etc.


    Yeah, there's a lot of catching up to do... I don't deny that fact...There's a big gap between new and old players but you're really not forced to do all that if you're not interested in actual PvP. Some people are perfectly happy doing PvE only and taking their time.
    Though again, nothing stops you from grabbing equal-geared friends and PvPing against each other.

    But that's how PWI is now. Enjoy what's left of it.

    My gut instinct tells me you are off by a factor of 10 but I'll let Asterelle do the math....

    No way you get all that stuff you quoted in 200-300hrs.........

    I will probably do the la class first, with my gear it will be a pve murderer. Both classes look great.For the time being I am leveling a archer.

    He could mean interaction time and not afk merchandising time. idk I never thought about how many hours I put in this game. I think a rough estimate I have put about 4400 hours of time in this game not counting any afk time in a catshop

    If you look at what I listed, you'll see that I didn't mention anything really impressive. What's the point of having an alt just to have an alt ? If you make 1, it should be to advance in the game, get the skills, do the different instances with it etc. If you don't rebirth, several instances are unaccessible. If you don't do morai, several skills will be inaccessible. If you don't do some quests chains, several instances are unaccessible. If you don't have a minimum gear, some quests will be extremely hard. I'm not talking 105x3 r9.3 +10 competitive pvp, I'm talking normal progression 100x3, finished cultivation, morai skills etc.

    It's just to much clutter imo. To much junk items, to much junk dailies. Untill they give a good clean on that, I see no point in new classes. I'd like to see updates that simplify the old stuff, like morai dailies to get those skills. Instead of some weird active points, they should just majorly boost speed of things once 1 or 2 new content updates arrived. I guess it will be coming cs wise, since they took away fc quick leveling. Honestly, I wouldn't even mind a cs way to directly get some of the big quest chains and junk dailies done.

    It would also make the game more attractive for really new players or returning players.

    I have been playing for 4 years give or take. Thats only ~3 hrs a day. When you add in the extra time someone may have during the weekends that is not much at all. That is not much time at all tbh compared to those that are not in school or don't work. During the first month of 2x we had, i put in 6 hours a day and around 10 on the weekends doing nothing but farming tt

    I'll play both, naturally :D
    I have both LA and AA gear, so that'll take some of the expense out of it, all I'll need to make is their weapons. Not sure if the LA class has -weapon specificness- like the AA one does, but doesn't matter really.

    I'll probably like the AA class most since that's generally the style of class I gravitate to.

    Not too worried about "being behind" when it comes to skills or primal stuff, it's about having some fun with something new! It would take a lot to get me to switch my main at this point, coming up on 4 years and nothing has changed my mind yet, but I don't mind learning some new classes. It's been long enough now I think I can manage to actually go quest n stuff again XD
