The First Descendant has seen a lot of ups and downs within a few weeks of its release. The game has many good things to offer like unique characters and cooperative gameplay, but on the other hand, the game has also many issues like microtransactions and improper character balancing which has left many players frustrated and annoyed.

Nexon has been transparent about these issues, addressing them and even releasing various fixes. However, there are still issues that the studio has not even recognized because it is not a technical problem, but it’s about player satisfaction. The most frustrating one is the farming of experience points (EXP) that is required for leveling.

The game offers various characters and its Ultimate variant that players want to farm but while farming for needed modules, they won’t gain a decent amount of EXP for leveling the character to 40.

This has left players fully frustrated as they have to farm other missions to grind the level, transforming leveling into a chore. Recently, Reddit User GotPet, shared their feelings about the farm and the community is resonating with them.
