People will somehow find a way to complain about the minimal infusion of Territe and Asterite being exchangeable for some open market cryptocurrencies as an optional play-to-earn ramp. Personally, I'm excited for immersive applications that try and find the right formula of microeconomy and tokenomics to make that stuff work in a great way.

Personally, I'm excited for immersive applications that try and find the right formula of microeconomy and tokenomics to make that stuff work in a great way. We're so desensitized to the AAA developer selling you assets and currencies for 100% of the $, to me its a win if players have an open process of acquiring things and selling them for $ too.
The thing that is *actually* offensive is that in this era of Mobile-First MMO, this game takes something that is designed and developed in such a beautiful capacity, and instead has it be simply a Claim Button clicker. And even worse, by default, the game auto-runs you to next objectives, and even auto-attacks and cycles through your abilities. Beautiful art and graphics, incredibly creative Familiars, some gratifying systems. But ultimately, its overly complex, and I dare you to try and get to a point where you're not clicking Claim buttons for microrewards 45 minutes out of the hour, and instead playing an actual videogame.
This game can be saved, there is true MMO DNA in there, the Field Bosses and World Bosses are really cool. There seems to be a lot of locations to get to. The abilities are sweet. It looks like there is some actual endgame content that may remedy some of the atrocities I outline above. But my character is level 25 and I'm so tired of clicking Claim Reward for menial accomplishments left and right. Perhaps I'm only still stuck in a mega chapter of tutorialization, and the training-wheels eventually come off. This game batters you with UI-poking so much that it somehow makes that more offensive than the now standard microtransactions to pay-to-deslog the powering up of your character.
