Great game, but really needs PVP content to justify the grind. My friends and I reached max level with 600gs before the introduction of expertise. My friends in turn took a break, waiting for more content. Now they don’t want to come back because even tho they have 600gs bis they are sitting at 550ish expertise so they can’t even do the new content that was released unless they spend hundreds of hours grinding expertise. They do log in occasionally and all they want to do is pvp. The combat system and PVP are really what make this game special, I feel like a lot of would come back if they had ranked pvp arenas.
My suggestions for these game modes are 1v1, 5v5, 20v20 mini wars and 5v5 ladder style tournaments. Wins should give big expertise bumps, gold and increase in a ranking system that resets every season that offers unique seasonal items like the faction shop.
