Why the league mechanic made me quit so early into league

I've enjoyed the shift in melee combat over bow, traps, spells, FINALLY. BUT, this league mechanic is such a chore and to manage its drained most of my playtime managing. The biggest problem is ship and material management. I am NOT going to play 10+ hr/day to grind gold. I have upgraded ship to go to kingsmarch, but 2 shipments have been attacked by pirates and some "king" decided to impose a 2/3 load tax? Ok kinda funny at 1st but this has removed any enjoyment at all. Plus the biggest issue is the ungodly amount of shipping material you need to craft and ship. No way I'm generating anywhere close to those ungodly amounts of shipment materials.

This has been such a drain on me and my time, I'm quitting way before hitting lvl 90. It's too bad I wanted to play melee more but the mechanic is such a waste of time and energy.

People think like the OP THAT YOU NEED to do that.

You don't have to grind gold you do it when you play.

NOT FOMO AND GO OH THE SKY IS GOING TO BURN IF I DON'T GRIND THE GOLD!

oh and who exactly forces you to play the league mechanic again ?

i dont get people like you.

if you dont like to run your town, then simply just dont do it.

wtf

So what's the point in playing this game, ongoing service game with stale gameplay outside of every leagues new mechanic? You can go and keep your waste of life energy by keep playing mundane boringness, but me, I've got better things to do with my life than sit and play house with boring game mechanic.

I literally dumped all my league crap into a ship to sent to kingsmarch. Came back to game to see what happened and 4th ship to get attacked or lose material, could care less, but league mechanic in a nutshell, waste of my time and energy. Sorry GGG, I quit this league with crap to show for my time played

You accumulate gold by just playing the game, and you can dabble with the league mechanic when you have "passively" accumulated enough gold. Once you're farming red maps, gold quickly becomes a non-issue if you actually like to run maps.

But yeah, if you need to build up your town very quickly, and you need to be doing what the streamers are doing, sure - you need to farm up a little bit of gold.

I think this has more to do with your mindset than the mechanics themselves. Personally, I find the league mechanics very enjoyable, and no longer think about gold at all. I just map and play the game and get more than enough gold.

Same here. I quit earlier than you with the same conclusion. Waste of time going to Kingsmarch and managing workers to gain common items that I would get anyway. I think it's a mistake to add a mechanic that doesn't belong to an action game. Other reasons were the maps making it difficult to drop items from the chaos recipe (no amulets for 2 days) and common enemies one-shotting me with projectiles (many people complaining about this)
