The game's new systems are designed to pressure you into paying, by punishing you if you don't

To be honest nine hours is fucking ridiculous in a game that purports to be all about being able to hop in, play with friends for a bit and hop out. Even an hour would be. The longest it should take to level up any weapon to max level based on your own level or character ability/strength is maybe a half hour tops. This isn't supposed to be Everquest. The wood crafting taking as long as it does has already pissed me off. I've tried to be as supportive as I can but this free to play microtransaction stuff is pushing even me away. More and more the more about it I see.

This is literally the stupidest thing I've ever read. They're trying to replace character levels with relic levels... in what game do you EVER level to max level in 30 minutes...
