Which again, proves my point: You don't get the Tera leveling system.

It's not a grinding system, it's a questing system. As you level higher, quest rewards also becomes higher. Mob drops are not your leveling rewards, but a bonus - quest gold is your leveling reward. And what game isn't boring in the leveling phase? Actually, what game makes it so that low-levels make the same amount of money as high-levels?

If you really think this is unfair, I suggest you stay away from MMO's - because MMOs are inherently, very unfair.

Why don't you... just level a character to 60?

I don't think you understand the Tera leveling system. Since you don't grind to level up, monster drops are honestly pointless pre-60. The bulk of a new level 60's wealth comes from getting gold from questing, where by level 45+ you start to get a ton of gold per quest.

Sitting on around 18k right now.

Enchanting sucks.

But... Mahou Shoujo isn't even that big! :V

@Above

Haven't played mystic in awhile but from what I recall...

Most bosses -> I tend to just follow the ranged dps and throw mana balls at them, titanic wrath whenever applicable/I remember to use it. You can try following the melee too, but since most bosses like to move a lot in AC you can quickly find yourself on the wrong side of the boss while the melee just *lolbackstab*.

Hp motes -> no one should be using this when they hit level 60. Maybe a few if you encounter a boss that can silence so you have a dispel on the ground, but other then that nope.

Equipment -> doesn't really matter. It's not like mystics scale off equipment anyways. As long as you can survive from being 1-shot, you're good. Dropped rings also have a chance at a heal modifier so you can look for healing rings on the broker too. As for weapon mods... really doesn't matter that much either ┐(￣ー￣)┌

For reference, my (retired) mystic is at 146 ilevel (+7 t12) and full anarchic concach's. I still felt like I could facetank half the dungeon.

Crystals -> weapons crystals doesn't matter, I still use pristine pentants from the specialty store - it's a bit of a pain if you die and lose your greater infused but you shouldn't be dying so. Armor crystals you almost require anarchic's though, unless your ilevel is high enough to save you from being 1-shot by most high-damage attacks, then you can be cheap and just use relentless ones.

Basically, it comes down to this checklist:

☑ Are you geared enough to take at last one hard-hitting spell from most bosses?
☑ Do you know most of the bosses tells so you can avoid damage instead of facetanking everything?
☑ Are your DPS morons or can they actually dodge? -OR- Are your DPS geared enough to the point where they can facetank everything and still get healed?

The BAM in Shadowspark Chambers isn't bad either since it's so lulzslow, takes me around 15 minutes to kill three and t13/14 fodder it drops are in demand.

Making a button that toggles the walk() function too hard.

I honestly even glitched the walk animations a few times and did combat in them. There's literally nothing wrong with them that warrants such a long wait for such a simple feature.

[inappropriate topic material]

Because I'd rather not have the conversation turn into something like this:

"Hey you ever heard of Tera? Really fun MMO with action combat!"

"Oh, you mean that porno-game where all the females are naked?"

Sex appeal should be something sprinkled on top, not the main way to advertise a game.

But CaramellDansen doesn't look like that at all =\
