Leveling is painfull etc, its not a MOBA where you can just go into it and have fun fightning, then its done, all ggs and basta see you next time.
Its more complex and require tons of personal time to invest in it.
That also why there not much PvP i think, had lot of example of players just leaving the game before, or because the grind was too heavy :)
Got a newbie once, she did her first master pike 250; asked me: it is the same for everything?
.. what do you want i answer to this? ^^ yes it is.. and yes you need this and that to PvP..
No points she did leave the game :)
I dont agree with the point "and yes you need this and that to PvP.." thats really not true. It matters only, if you want to have chance against an highlevel player. If both are the nearly the same level, you can do PVP equally. The rootproblem is, that here are more Multimaster PVP-Players over years and noobs have to grind fast to have a chance against them.
But i fully agree that the preparation process is complex in Ryzom and you have to invest much time. It takes months till you understand how to PVPing professional and how to get and craft good gears. Without a team it is a pain or you are a very patient person... But this is also the thing way i play this game. You have soo many possibilities and a MMOPRG shouldnt be like a Offline-RPG, where everything everytime the same xD
I guess the Ryzom is not made for fast grinding and Fast-EXP-Junkies, but more for Roleplay. But since Roleplay is nearly dead, so i think, the everyday grinding for noobs is a pain and no fun.
