Grind and MMO are as thick as thieves, and without grind these games grow stale very quickly. The whole point is the players are not equal, and everyone has to play more to improve their chances in PvP.
If you want only PvP there are dozens of MOBAs, FPS and other wargames to choose from.
A game where Premium Account is a prerequisite ,but still a hell of grind - NO THX! The whole player-run economy is crappy and aside from ganking-pvp there is no point even playing it. All the changes just made some things worse - this company jumps always on the horse ,which they believe the majority will pay for.
After it´s out, I say 3 months and the most players start leaving ^^
The problem is how rare resource nodes are prime time - this makes the grind too much.
Log in at 3am and the resource nodes are plenty and the grind is tolerable (at lower levels)
So yes it is too much due to world size / overcrowding in the beginning.
Not only that, but it literally takes you 3 whole days to go from t3 to t4. Even longer for t5. It takes about 5 times longer without a premium account.
I think what's happening is people are buying gold from Sandbox and using that to buy the materials to farm rep through crafting and then trying to dump the stuff they crafted on the market. It's so bad now that you have day 1 nubs buying t5 equipment from the market and asking in global why they can't use it yet. People are literally giving things away.
I'd say that's about right. A lot of the gold is from the Founders Packs people bought to play right now. After the wipe, that gold gets refunded, and a good portion of that is going to go back into both grinding their way to the top and into controlling the market. I'm thinking that many of those people will be weighing whether they want to go that route again, having reached that point and knowing that even the top founders pack caps out gold/gear benefits at T3. After that, the founders people face a much larger leap in grind than the newer players face.
