User blog comment:Snowboardz523/The current upgrade system is absurd and ruins the game/@comment-33879485-20180328045421

I'm done with how crappy the upgrade system is. I hate it. It wasn't in the anime, and it wasn't in SOB. I'm not saying Swordburst Online 2 needs to be an exact copy of SAO or SOB, but it IS named after it. Things like auras and upgrade scrolls were conjured up because they are easy ways to get players to spend robux. I hate to say it, but this game is widely centered around robux. Want an aura? Open a chest with robux. Want an upgrade protection scroll? Buy it with robux. (Or you can buy auras/UPS with lots and lots of vel which takes time to farm.)

I don't upgrade my items/weapons anymore. It's just too hard. I'm not going to sit around for weeks and farm to fully upgrade just ONE armor.

The crystal conversion update of f6 was cool, but isn't accessable by all players. It'd be better if the crystal forge was on f1. Even with the crystal conversion update, it's still hard to upgrade. After getting all the crystals you need from dismantling items over and over again, you have to purchase tons of UPS just so your item won't downgrade.

I love the game, but I REALLY don't like the upgrade system.
