Imabunny, "Pay to Win" games have weapons and items that you can ONLY buy with real money, everything in this game other than visual things can be earned with in game currency.
For some reason I can't stay a male. I press X fast as hell, slowly, not at all, hold it down, hell, I even hooked up my Xbox controller to an emulator with every key set as X, and jammed 'em all, still poofed into a girl.
I really like the criticism comment elaborating on how "Gear doesn't help when your enemy still does twice as much damage as you when they're still a lower level". The reason PvE is so tough is because if it wasn't, farming would be too easy.
Have you tried PvP? No, you haven't. Because if you did, you'd notice that you're going to be doing damage based on your strength and the enemy's defense.
PvE isn't supposed to be easy, the NPCs have at least four times the stats of a normal player their level. Especially Helena, she can move across half the screen in one turn and attack in a giant radius because she has around 150-200 agility. :@
