To sum everything up - its constant Main Quest... for weeks straight.

They really really screwed over new players.
You need gold to actually play (stronghold, trade)
To get gold, you need Chaos Dungeons (supposedly, but I found out its islands)
To get that, you need to complete a quest
To complete that quest, you need level 50.
So - everything is locked behind week long main story quests.

Then looking around at all the content, just being gate keeped behind a gear score. You see a lot you could do, if you played months, but are only able, and forced to do main quests for your first few weeks.

Getting bored of most of them. Only about 10% of the quests are entertaining.

Edit: After completing the Arkesia Tour... guess what, all side quests/activities instant complete, and only thing left is... you got it.. more main quest.

There was some fun parts, but half the fun is in those side quest activities that just get instant complete and feel like you wasted time on.
