Honestly, I spend more time (like 98% of the game time) dealing with BS mob encounters than I do actually enjoying the game. The fact that those encounters are practically worthless and earn ZERO XP makes me hate your game. Mechanically within this game engine, there is a reason you are supposed to earn experience with each encounter.
Game experience thus far after 20 hours of game play, "Take two steps, mob, take another two steps, mob, and again and gain... Oh and hey, by the way, there is no real point in fighting any of those, there just there to consume up all your time." Can't stand devs that insert such time wasting crap in their game to hide the fact that they have no real game content.
