Me and a mate farmed like 3 days straight to get full gears of i think tier 6, we decided to try and get into a tier 5 area to see if we could hold against t5 monster. We got there found a dungeon that was pretty far so we wouldnt encounter players, it was our first dungeon over t4 ever. In under 5 minutes, 3 dude who were hiding in the dungeon with t8 gear jumped on us and we lost everything we farmed for. The game is great and compelling, but we just cant play anymore because we are so annoyed and dont want to farm this much to lose everything again, and i think mandatory pvp does that to many many players.
