Many of the complaints about this game are just from extremely impatient people. The UI is not that complicated and doesn't take that long to figure out and those that seem to struggle with it just don't take the time to learn how it works or just don't know how to read.

Yes the game is grindy IF you play it with the default settings. You are supposed to work with a decent size group of players. each player in your group is supposed to have a role to fill such as one player is a dedicated blacksmith and another player is dedicated to farming.

If you try to do every job role by yourself with the default game settings then you are not gonna have fun and that is not the fault of the game that is the fault of the player trying to play the game incorrectly.

Now you can play the game solo or with a smaller group of friends by creating a game world and changing the settings for your game such as increasing the interaction speed, or making progression of skills faster and increasing the max skill cap so that you can major in multiple fields. The game isn't hard at all if you take the time to read whats in front of you and explore the menus in the game. plus the wiki is also available if you don't understand something AND the community is filled with many great groups of people that are willing to help and teach you how to play.

But in it's entirety it is a great game and has lots of content for you to enjoy and allows a lot of creativity. The game is not abandoned it is just finished. even with the hours that I have invested into the game i have only participated in about half of what the game has to offer.

So don't take all those negative reviews to heart. Many of them are just from impatient people who were just not meant to play this game.
