One thing I really don't understand with this game is how the levels for Guardians don't really matter. After you unlock their Level 90 skills/ability upgrades, there's really no reason to bring them to Level 99 (from what I can see), unless you want to recode them. Because of this, every time you level up it just feels pointless, where in other games you get a feeling of satisfaction since they gain stats upon doing so. I don't know why they didn't attach stat increases to increasing the levels, as well as equipping weapons/armor to them. They could have easily done both.
Honestly, after their obnoxious marketing on Facebook leading up to release (so many meme's, as well as comparing themselves to other gacha games), I kind of expected more. I'm not going to drop it just yet, as I do hope things improve soon for the better.
