You've put in the game a system that is too important not to have. An advantage that is too significant to ignore.
That creates a huge issue of unfairness in your game. You've given the players who've been playing longer a significant advantage over newer players. Beyond that, you've created a situation where people need to pursue clade.
I hate having to repeat myself, but people simply don't seem to get this very simple fact :
PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE UNFAIRNESS.
It is BUILT into us as humans. They've done experiments on monkeys that shows, even they are tuned into this sense.. It is innate to our nature.
You want beginners to tolerate your game, whilst you've put these essentials behind a MASSIVE grind. A grind that the longtime players didn't even have to think about, because getting clade never really mattered until the veteran system. They didn't have to stress about getting there. Now they're going to be in this harsh world AND have a huge disadvantage. Wow, how kind of you.. "Newb friendly" LOL yea right.
Clades should be something you get passively via playing the game (like it was before), not something you actively pursue or even think about. The game's strength doesn't come from pursuing levels. It never did. Now that you've made it essential, i feel like i'm forced to play a certain way, in a very PVE oriented way, just to get on an even playing field. That is just annoying, because now it feels like i don't actually start playing until i've gone through this huge grind. I don't want to have to think about levelling at all really.. It is just a wall to get me to the PVP. Why are you making your PVP playerbase grind PVE??? You know, your core audience?
What about the people who just want to PVP??? Why are you forcing so much PVE on them?
Let alone if you're a red player.. .Like, do you even understand how unfair this system is on reds? You are accosted constantly, and you have a murder system that means you can literally be locked out of going blue for an endlessly upward amount of time.
"Well, you shouldn't have murdered people!" NO, you idiots. You're not supposed to treat your red players badly just because they chose to be a villain in a videogame.. This is a videogame, not real life. You don't punish an ESSENTIAL element of your game. Do you not understand the game NEEDS criminals? They need to be treated just as fairly as blues.
It is unfair on new players. It is unfair on people who want to focus on PVP. It is unfair on red players.
It is just annoying. You want to fix this? Tone down the insane grind to get to the veteran system; or nerf how much of an advantage it provides.
