END GAME LEVELING WAY TOO TIME CONSUMING 500 HOURS ON 1 CHAR NOT EVEN ON LEVEL 100 YET S CRAZY.

The designers seriously need to address the progression system. As a casual player with over 500 hours, I’m still on my first character and haven’t reached level 100 yet. I want to start a new character, but the thought of how time-consuming it is to farm for Tier 15 gear is absolutely ridiculous. Many of my friends have actually quit the game for this exact reason. I understand the need for a challenge, but the grind to level 100 shouldn't be this punishing. It ruins the experience and makes having multiple characters feel impossible when you can spend forever on just one. The game can be created to be challenging still, but the grind doesn't have to be forever. I'd also like to mention, even if they got rid of the XP loss or made leveling faster in the end game, I would still play my first character, too.
