I understand and sympathize. I've blown my vacation playing this game (as I honestly just wanted to try and play a video game a whole bunch like when I was a kid, it's still fun playing video games a whole lot.) only to realize this game is honestly for unemployed kids with parents that can foot them through their 20's. I don't think the balance is really there for reasonable achievement, but I can see it getting there with things like Menagerie, perhaps in time they'll get to the balance they wanted in having a "non life eating" mmo kind of deal going on. Mayyybee not. Who knows!? Also yes, PVP is in a very bad state, I manage to have fun half the time but I gotta admit, it's a no skill build to win zone. Hopefully that's addressed later.
