ARPGs are mostly about that, character speccing, choosing skills, min-maxing.
But worst of all is the character building. You can´t build your gear on a "straight" way, instead you are forced to completely switch your equipment depending on the zone you´re visiting. The idea of "horizontal progression" was finally scrapped alongside the F2P-MMO model, going for a linear "ACt 1 zone1- Act2 zone2- Act3 zone3" progression, but still the different zones have enemies with specific damage type dealing, so in the end: You need specific and different gear for each zone, not only "higher level or better gear", but specific elemental protection. At first, when it was mean to be a F2P MMO, devs wanted to make different zones wich would recquire different gear to be faced, so on the first zone (goblin zone) you would use Fire protection gear, and when u moved to Zone 2 (Hyvid or insectoids area) you would need a totally different gear set focused on poison protection, the idea was make it non-linear so you could focus on a chosen zone and gear for it. Another great fail is the scrapped "horizontal progression" remains in the game. You have the "empty grind maps" wich could be found on a MMO, uninspired, bland, generic maps just meant for grind and fetch quests. The result is a plain dull game that even feels like a mobile game. Also it seems to use recycled elements of a mobile version. It´s main problem is that it was supposed to be a F2P MMO, and just on its later stages of development the devs decided to scrap it and release it as a "standard" game, single or multiplayer ARPG.
