Everything is overpriced, game requires so much grind - RNG gods are evil

✭Since there are no more softcaps, you need best quality items to compete in this game. A single gold quality sword gives around 400 more weapon damage with rally compared to the purple ones. Upgrade mats, robust/arcane rings, enchants, every single one of them are vital parts for any build. So why the *** have they so low drop rates and thus expensive?
This game used to be less grindy before. You could use full purple gear and be king in everything thanks to soft caps. And in those days making a build cost you 10x less than now. It's just asian grind right now. Most of the non crafted stuffs are bind on pickup, meaning you need to farm the same dungeon for thousands of times to get something you need and yet there is no guarantee on what trait you will get. You might end up with most unfortunate trait/armor matching after a week of grind. Other stuffs requires a lot of gold to buy because this RNG stupidity on traits and drops. More so, the income from PvP is still too low. It barely makes up for your losses on pots and other stuffs.
Last night I just went to the guild traders to upgrade my weapons only to see 9k for a single tempering alloy. You need 8 of them to upgrade a single piece of a weapon, so 72k gold just to upgrade it from purple to gold.. x2 if you dual wield. This is stupid af. There are no softcaps, so you have to do this to compete with others, because they do it because they can farm all day long.
This endless grind madness must stop already. This game used to be fun before. You could just pick up a piece of gear and be successful with it with smart gameplay. Not anymore. It's just painfully grindy currently. Make it fun again.
Well... OP. It is an MMO. By definition, an MMO is all about the grind, 'bout the grind, 'bout the grind... No playin'.0
