First time playing a Korean MMO?
You can forget that.
All MMO content that is new, is already on YT on the day of release. There are test realms where people play months before it shows up on the release client.
The days of WOW or Everquest where you entered a dungeon or raid and it was not done before, will never come back.

I mean FFXIV works that way so it’s not completely dead. And many KR games still work that way today in KR. It’s just that we get shafted in the west because there aren’t many western-native MMOs comparatively and like you say many have PTRs or similar.
If you’ve ever been a child and watched others eat ice cream that you quite literally could NOT have you’d understand why people want to be caught up.

People wanna be caught up until they are fully caught up and then complain why there isn’t content.
Not sure why people care so much about being caught up. They haven’t even cleared majority of the content yet.
I want a degree too without going through school
That is exactly right. I keep hearing people complain about not being “caught up.” What are you talking about. You dont have to catch up to anything. The content will still be there. So many weird people.

imagine people getting mad because aeromancer will take a while for us 
btw when Korean roadmap for the second part of the year will be released. Except the Aeromancer and Female Zerk what new content they will release. Any new Legion raid?
They’re expecting Akkan very soon, and I think Smilegate said two legion raids this year, which means Thaemine at some point as well.
I think NA/EU will always be behind because of translating UNLESS they prepare content thats been translated to all languages when we eventually reach KR content, that also means we will be doing raids truly blind with no guides, wonder if the game will reach that point with how players feel right now.
game will be dead before catching KR and RU
being behind is ok, new people to lost ark need time to catch up with thing them selves anyway. But everyone should have his main class released, and the only content we are behind should be raids, dungeons and ect.

They wrote that new class releases bring back players who already stopped playing back to the game, well duh… they would not have even stopped if their main was out.

like any other kr mmo, nothing interesting or unusual
But how are you wasting your time grinding as a f2p? Content is being released quickly. But that was their goal since the beginning. FOMO is the only reason anyone would have a problem with content being released too fast. I still don’t understand your point here. My initial statement is just pointing out that even the F2P players are 1415+ while the “whales” are maybe 1480-1490 (for no reason by the way).
edit your topic to “it will take us legit players 2-4 years to catch up to KR at this rate”
That’s not realistic.
Yeah Well WE already Got their lategame nerfs. No need to worry
i honestly dont even remember what this was about lol
you’re wasting “your time” as in you need to play a lot more to keep up, as in you need to dedicate your life to this game.
not being able to play new content on day 1 is fomo yes, needing to wait months to play the same content that everyone else is playing isnt, specially when you’ve been playing since day 1.
like i said
so they give you the content kr and other regions have so you’d catch up to them fast, which is nice, but at the same time they dont give you the same catch up mechanics to play said content.
not even “only” catch up mechanics, but stuff like honing and drop rates in general.
you’re condensing 3 years of content into a single year, but you’re not condensing 3 years of grind in a single year.
with our rates and available content it looks like they’re expanding it by 5 years instead of condensing it to 1 year.
Are there still people that think NA/EU will ever catch up to Korea? It never happened in any other region. We will always behind. 5-6 months behind
