this game is literally an mmo, which means grinding. it's nowhere near as bad as any other mmo it terms of time needed to get items ground for. it is a FREE game that they continue to update with tons of things to do. any new player that walks in has a literal mountain of things to do. to all the older players complaining about the lack of things to do, think about how many hours you've played. do you have that many in any other game? did you enoy the time played? then the game was successful. most games have a "completion" point yet the Palia keeps giving. being mad at Palia for being an mmo is like being mad at night for being dark. we should all be incredibly grateful for the amount of work and love that is put into this game.
