Grinding is the heart and soul of every MMORPG (RO, CABAL, WoW,etc.), be it grinding for exp, equipment, materials or gold/money. (If u hate grinding might as well play battle arena kind of games like dota, (can't handle the pro? play solitaire, CPU beat you? lol might as well improve your life).)

Tree of Savior has given us variety of classes to pick which in turn gave us mobility in-game from being tank/dps, tank/heal, buff/dps, dps, heal and much more, that gave us this thrill in doing dungeon runs with different people.
Tree of savior also offers a quality of an old retro game (like ro1 but with much improved graphics) that gave us this feels and enjoyment playing the game. (if u loved ro1, u'll definitely love the game)

The game overall is a great game but how it is manage is a different story..
Now lets talk about CON's and PRO's of the game's management.
let's talk about CON first.
CON:
1. Horrible class balance
-Well, at first you might say that everything is a walk in the park during lower level but at some point in the game you can say *this totally sucks*.There are some classes in the game that can't survive the higher level such as alchemist. But most of these classes optimize more on buffing,crafting,healing.

2. Horrible market system
- The game has an AH (auction house system) in which the player can just search for the items they want to buy or put up the item they want to sell. But this Auction House has a minimum and maximum amount of silver for the item u want to sell, which is abused by the bots, mats/silver farmers. (ex: a token.(in-game item) which are sold for 350k silver in minimum price and maximum of 1.4M silver, if u want to sell the token, you can't go down beyond 350k silver, which is a downside specially if u want to sell it faster or want to sell below what avg. people put up which is the 350k).
- The game also has a different trading system in which u won't be able to trade using silver (game currency) which is a con to help reduce scam. But the bots abused this system, because you won't be able to buy the item with ur silver you have to resort to purchase item in the auction house which are over run by those bots.

3. Horrible [Que] dungeon system.
- Well, que system for the dungeon kinda sucks, have to pray your for luck to have clerics in your party or you're doomed.. sometimes u get 3 glass canon wizards, 2 archers (good luck tanking the mobs) also a 5 tank party (LOL) <-- you're super unlucky if u get this.

4. Atrocious spawn rates
- This with alot of players and bots in the community. The monster can't just keep up with them. When you're in game you'll see more players or bots than monster. The game has a channel system but the number of channel they have isn't just enough for the players. (kinda hating it since those archers kill the mobs so fast, and sometimes they KS your mobs too).

5. Unforgiving class system
- Once you've chose the class you can't backed out so better plan before choosing. Go to the internet and search for the build you want. because if u choose wrong, then you'll have to start all over again ^_^ (GOOD FOR YOU xD and if u did GOOD LUCK with the lower lvl bots.)

6. HAS MUCH BOTS THAN PLAYERS.
- Let say there are about 1000 bots and every day just about 100 bots are being banned... But the next the day another hundred are being made, then another 100 are being banned. (Another circle of life perhaps)

Well I can say more CON too but nah! I'm forgiving so I could just pass it by cuz maybe someday they'll solve it. :)
Okay now let's talk about PRO's.
PRO:
1. Communication with Community.
- Others may contest to this but for me they do listen It's just that the server got much more demanding issues than the issue you have, what the server needs right now is STABILITY, and they're totally working hard on it. For a developer in a smaller game company, I salute you for creating this game and making it what it is now. But I do hope you won't make hasty decision to solve some game issue cause those hasty decision might cause a game breaking issue.

2. Weekly Updates and Maintenance.
- Every week is another tale of SERVER STABILITY, which is the main issue of the game right now. In the future when the server become stable we might as well see more costumes, updates, game balancing every week. (I HOPE, they're just starting out guys so give them some space and let them work). (shush, those hasty people)...


Well, from what im writing right now I'm seeing more cons than pros but like I said they're just starting out. Let me just say this.
It's not the developer that makes the game, It's the player without them a game isn't a game if it's only played by one. So in the end of the day all we have to do is help them and not critize them. for a game would not improve if we just keep on carping them with critics.

An interesting game. thou playing it alone relieves stress but the longer u play it ... it'll get boring so i suggest find a friend to play with
