The game is rigged to make you play for hours on end and then receive garbage rewards for it. You're always taking 5 steps back, and 2 steps forward. They get you to spend valuable goods that take days to create, and then give you rewards from quests that are maybe 10% of what you just spent to get them. For example, it takes 20 hours to create 1 Combining Catalyst. That's an absurd amount of time considering you charge like 3 or more (plus scripts) to get anything worthwhile!
