There is a little bit of a grind to gold making but not nearly as much as other games. At the moment, because more and more individuals are hitting level cap, they are more focused on setting their gear up, do not many are buying random things. However, its definitely not difficult to make enough gold to stay relevant.
The daily quests are definitely repetitive, but which game has unique daily quests? With that being said, they take like 10 mins to complete them all and gain the bonus.
This game will not be everyone's cup of tea, for sure. For people that jumped into the game with mistaken perceptions, they'll feel let down. For those that played the game in other regions and expected the same thing or more, they'll feel let down. For those that approached the game as if it's a new game in early access with all it entails...you may enjoy it.
