your (or other people you may know) rp purchases have already shown up in the vip from the past year?I find the game just fine atm, though I have yet to hit lvl 20 on any of my toons (buys finding that right combination of gameplay per class).
Yes the fatigue system is to reduce bots. A pretty clever idea if you ask me. If you are manning your computer is should be no problem. I've farmed/leveled for ours straight without ever going over 2%. The only folks that would have issues are botters (there are no HKs Thank God!!!). With a level cap of 100 Bots are not needed in this game.
I also like the VIP system. It tracks and gives you ongoing perks for the stuff you buy in the IM. If you have spent 300K of RPs over the last year, you will get rewards for that level. I like it.
The crone rate is pretty miserable and some of the crone sinks in the game are really REALLY aggressive. I would like to see either a raise in crone rate OR a reduction on some of those sinks. Exp rate is a bit slow, but I guess once you get some levels of VIP accumulated it gets better.
