Granted, I was shit when I first got the game, but now I’m consistently getting 4000-5000 score, more if the match takes a long time.
K/D looks bad because it used to be like .5 back when I was crap, so it’s taking awhile to get back positive.
Over all the campaigns, I’ve accrued a total of 1,413,386 XP, spending 68 hours in battle, with 188 battles.
7500k, on average, for 21 minute battles, for 4000-5000 score (pretty high compared to a lot of other players, at least in my matches)
4,694,900 in the Moscow campaign, so if I had been grinding that alone, I would have 3,281,532 XP to go.
That’s another 153 hours.
If I play 2 hours a day, that’s a total of 111 days just for 1 faction, of 1 campaign. And with updates adding more content all the time, that will just increase even more.
According to most surveys you find online, the average gamer plays 1-2 hours.
So for me, an above average player (not great but not bad), to take 111 (222 hours) days to get a single faction out of the 12 in the game, that is a bad grind. That’s 1332 (2664 hours) Suppose someone got 2000-2500 score per game
That’s 222 (444 hours) days, for a single faction.
They’re looking at 7 years of straight grinding to get every faction, and by that point the game will have added a ton of more content and probably died out.
Sure, it’s all fine and dandy if you have premium and/or are a skilled player, but most people don’t have premium and aren’t a skilled player.
Only people saying the grind is fine are the top 10% of the playerbase, except for a few who aren’t numbskulls and are willing to point out flaws of a game rather than defend it blindly because they’ve put a ton of time into it
