Hi,
it is not that hard just time consuming. I played since the Event Startet (maybe a hour later) and im Position 2 at the moment. I only have slept 4 hours this night so i played the event for 15 Hours (sry cant remenber when it startet).
You ask why i play that much, because i have 4 day off from work and cant play much when i work
Ohhh and the game is all grind so that is how you play it xD
Agreed, I legitimately made top 5% in the Princess Arissa's investigation into the Emperor's assassination community goal, and contributed 21 million in bounties. It is likely that there are some that cheat, but I do not think the problem is as widespread as some people fear.
