Totally not self-explanatory

I wasted 4 hours... 3 characters trying to figure out how the game works... how to advance... what order to build and advance in... it's a wash for me.

Hell, Crafting is my main thing most MMO's but here... it's a cluster *****. Perhaps it's bugs... or poor coding; but I've had enough.

The only truly saving grace here... I didn't spend a dime figuring out that it was a waste of time and effort.

To those that enjoy it... wow... but you and I don't think the same way. Kudos for us both... I'll leave and you can keep playing this dead ass game. (Note I saw a lot of startups but not a single other player in 4 hours of effort)

Thanks... but no thanks

*shrugs* You're right, this game isn't particularly intuitive- but you found your way to the forums, there are a ton of topics to help players out, plus a decently comprehensive wiki. There is a bit of guesswork in trying to figure out how to unlock certain things, but certainly not 4 hours worth unless you never check the wiki/forums. The beginning of the game can be kind of a slog (for me at least, not a big fan of leveling), but when you unlock more things you will be able to craft to your heart's content.

So... what were you asking for help with, again? Complaining? I'm really good at it, did you need some tips for your next post?
