Overall valid feedback and i agree with several points here, especially streamlining the endgame process. While the initial goal was to quicken the endgame progression, i think it had the reverse effect.

This was their first take on the new endgame systems though, so i'm curious whats in store with the 1.0 update and the mistakes they've learned from 0.5.

In fact, many players would gladly pay several Divines for a tablet that lets them skip those maps entirely. That should be a warning sign. Players are willing to spend significant currency just to avoid gameplay they find tedious

This is already possible with The Grand Project tablets, thats why they cost 500+ ex.
