The grind isn’t bad at all my f2p US account is now 1364 80k gold.
To everyone crying constantly due to lack of people past 1370 or quitting because of hone rates here’s some points to consider.
F2P players who have played since day one will soon be 1370 in a week or two. It’s not going to kill you to wait a little longer for us.
Casuals who complain about the honing % clearly have not played other games where you get one rng chance at a weekly upgrade just to have a boss or chest not drop an upgrade for you. With lost ark you get many upgrades throughout the week, and currently you have two events, the traveling merchant, the guild vendor, and now the pvp vendor which gives a huge amount of honing mats. Also you can and should consider just spending your gold on boosting alts to t2 then farming their two daily dungeons to get 2 or 3 t3 alts. You can also make a ton of gold playing the Mari shop still.
Please stop asking for the game to be watered down. Eventually we’ll be swimming in materials once prices go down.

What makes you think just because other games have a terrible system wherein you get 1 chance a week its acceptable for other games? What kinda stupid logic is that?
I think most people are asking the game to be better, not watered down.
Also, you forgot to point out in those “other games”, you don’t have grind countless currency and mats just to get gear upgrades, you won’t go bankrupt upgrading gear (yup, you actually get to keep your gold … what a concept), you can trade loot, work towards gear tokens to buy loot, get at least one guaranteed piece of loot per week matching the item level (or 15 points higher) of the content you did the previous week …
I mean, I could keep going, but please stop pretending like honing, which is quite literally a casino slot machine, is better. It’s not. It’s a tedious, unfun system that doesn’t need to exist. But since it does, and I’m sure it’s not going away. There is no reason why we shouldn’t provide feedback to make it better.
Just because you’re fine with it the way it is doesn’t mean it is good/right so don’t go acting like your opinion is the only one that matters, let them ask for changes if that’s what they want to and just go back to your farming… people these days!!!
I want to spawn in a village with a chest that has a diamond pick. And a nether portal that has all the obsidian intact. Oh and the chest needs a flint and steel. Oh and the nether portal needs to spawn me in a fortress, oh and the ender portal needs to be below the enchanting tower. Oh and I need Dream’s luck with ender eyes.
Don’t try, the majority on this forum try to argue in good deed of the game while just ruining it for everyone, they will quit anyways no matter what you give them.
The game is good as it is I love it, the deadzone is bad yes but instead of whining that the deadzone is bad give them a good idea how they could address the issue that doesn’t ruin the integrity of the game.
