I was wrong about grinding
I made a post recently about how I found grinding extremely boring and was considering dropping the game as I was struggling from getting to 60-61. It turns out that the grind spot was no where near as good for xp as traitors graveyard, and the mobs were way too easy. This has solved the issue of not finding any challenge in the game for me now, the answer is to just find a tougher grind spot. I’ve died a few times and have had to actively try to stay alive which is a good thing. Usually if a game is too easy I just don’t enjoy it.
Along with that, I now have some sense of direction. Primarily being a PvP player, I’ve realised that getting to a somewhat competitive level is going to take many hours of practice and the combat system is much more complicated than I anticipated, especially as a Awk ninja. Again, another positive for me.
So for anyone who’s recently joined the game and felt in a similar spot for me, my advice is just find what works for you. My next aim is to join a guild and start doing T1 node wars. :)
