God dammit I can't believe this BS...

Actually it takes about 4-5 months if everything goes smoothly.
Without spending trophies you get 4 fights a day, multiply that by 30 and you have 120 per month.
For random encounters with other glads on average idd say you should look at 4 fights per month as a minimum also so that's another 120 per month.
That makes 240 per month in total, multiple that by 4 and you have 960 fights so you will "only" need 4 months and a week.

In terms of training points coz I feel like it, 4 from fights, 10 from tavern quests so that's 14 training points per day and wow now that I look at it Nate that amount sucks.
So multiply it by 30 you get 420. Multiply that by 4 and you have 1680. This is without adding the couple of training points you also get from lvling up.

If I remember correctly it takes about 1800 training points to max your skills out if you get really lucky. Lets add a 400 training points to that because it's almost impossible to have that luck. Hence it takes 5-6 months to max out a glad on skills with normal luck

14 a day is still better than the 7 we used to get in the old, old fight engine

I miss those days tbh.

Your numbers are off. You are forgetting about the arena token drops. I get at least two per day. It takes 3-4 months to fully max a gladiator running bare bones. About half that if you run memberships. If you want to speed that up even further you can run the gauntlet and play the street games with squids which often result in arena tokens as the reward.

The only part I was getting at is I'm getting into a game online that my I cannot get my friends interested in. As far as the trophy thing goes, I would just be embarrassed to tell them I've spent money on this game.

At the risk of this coming across as a personal attack (which it is not) I think this needs to be said for your own good. Do you look for your friends approval for all of your likes and interests? Do you also let your friends dictate who you date and what TV shows you watch? Man up and be proud of your interests and hobbies. If your friends don't like them and judge you then they can go fuck themselves because those aren't real friends. Real friends accept you for who you are regardless of your idiosyncrasies and interests. If you are worried about what your friends might think of you because you spend money on something you enjoy then I dare say you might want to look for new friends and figure out how to stop caring about what other people think about you. I've gotten a lot of my friends to play this game even after they said they weren't interested in it based on the fact it wasn't a true "video game", one of them played for over a year after he got hooked.

Have you tried to get your friends into the game or are you making an assumption that they will not like it? If you are making an assumption why don't you instead allow your friends to make their own decisions instead of doing it for them. As far as being embarrassed for spending money on the game, should I also be embarrassed because I've spent money too? Am I somehow strange? Should people think less of me now? How about Prinny, Crow, Narol, Oedi, Apoc or all the others who have spent money on the game? Is this game less worthy than another game for some reason I don't know about?

Do you like the game? Does it provide you with enjoyment? Do you look forward to playing it? If your answer is yes to all three of those questions then you have nothing to be embarrassed about.

I apologize if this came across as harsh, but this is one of those life lessons where the sooner you learn it the better your life will be in the future. Don't be embarrassed or ashamed of your interests and don't hang out with people that judge you because of them.

[Narol]

Dainoji is damn right ! None of my RL friends is interested in the game but I don't care and I prefer to spend my money on this independant game with depth and style than on stupid games like candy crush saga or even WoW.

[Prinny]

Ah right the arena token drops, I completely forgot about those!
Still the basic numbers are correct though, the added tokens and so on only add to it taking even less time than I originally wrote!

Okay, for starts I don't have a whole lot of friends because I'll easily ditch someone if I find them not to be my friend, my friends are well picked, just because they don't like this game I'm not going to tell them to go fuck themselves. As far as this game goes, yea it's fun, it's just a little slow paced and I wish it was a little faster. I won't tell them I spend money on this game as it's a stupid thing to do to spend money on any game. I have no problem telling them that I play, but when playing games it makes it more fun if your friends play to.

For instance I play league of legends, fun game, friends like it, means we play together making it more fun. Not all of my friends are good at it and I believe I could be better ranked in it, but that doesn't matter so long as we are playing together.

Yes, this game I find interesting and fun, but it would be more fun if my friends could relate with me in discussing the game. It's not like we don't have plenty of other junk to converse about, but this game isn't a high priority as it's a game I play on my own. And since they don't have any interest I don't really have any room to discuss it with them. It's not a big deal.
