There's no place for both extremely slow progression and forced wipes

Edit for people who don't want to read: i know the game is in early access and this will change, this is just meant as constructive feedback which is what early access is for, I'm not complaining about the game whatsoever but problems have to be spoken of to be eventually fixed that's where feedback comes in

Starting by saying i have nothing against forced wipes or slow progression but that's only if they're not together, I played this game for an insane amount of hours already and it's really not acceptable anything past level 9 takes so long to level up, i play a lot and I'm still at mid game gear, people who can't play as much will barely be able to get past level 10, on top of that with forced wipes losing hundreds hours of progression feels way worse when you know hundred hours won't be nearly enough to unlock the cooler endgame stuff even for one class.

maybe for some classes that give xp reliably it might be possible but ones that don't give xp as reliably it's genuinely too slow.

except for that though I'm genuinely loving the game got more than 160 hours combining playtest and ea release and plan to continue playing it (i also know the game just released so they need time to tweak things this is more of feedback from a frustrated player than hate on the game)

edit: in case this wasn't clear i DO know the game is in early access and it just released, this is just feedback on something i hope will improve, not because i want to unlock everything, but because i think it'll give a better experience to casual and hardcore players alike
