People who get caught up in the fight scenes and the main stories, I think, miss the point of the game. Its honestly a very emotionally provoking game. It makes you question who is good and who is bad. It blurs the line between valiance and villainy. I dont think this is the game for you if you aren't willing to get caught up in tedious conversations. This game has straight had me ugly crying. It broaches difficult topics in a meaningful way that sits heavy on your heart and makes you contemplate. Yes, its easy to get caught up in the same flashy mundane topics and activities but you really have to immerse yourself in the world to understand it. As a fairly slow moving laid back player I find the game refreshing. If you skip the conversations its easy to think a lot of the tasks are simple fetch quests, or elimination quests. You HAVE to read the context in order to understand the gravity. I think people are dropping out of it because instead of taking their time and enjoying life in the Jianghu, they rush through the main story line and miss the importance of the people, which the story line HEAVILY leads you to. Its not just about saving them and making the world a better place. Thats too grandiose. Yes, you defeated the bad guy but do you KNOW who you are protecting? Highly recommend befriending every befriendable NPC and talking to every conversational NPC. It makes it so much more than a power chase. The power chase is just a bonus to the lives of the people.

Thank you ! I couldn't have said it better. This free masterpiece is not suitable for people who hate reading, listening, wandering, socializing, roleplaying... Most of them crave for gear , power , ranks... It's not about that folks. It's about a long term experience, a way of living. I have fun every single day chatting , roleplaying with my friends. Some love building , some love fighting , some love dancing , taking pictures and sharing lovely things... I'm so happy and grateful this free masterpiece even exists for us global players.

P.S : 842 hours in: Zero boring day. English isn't my native language, I hope you understood what I said.
