The game's balance system is basically non-existent. The following issues urgent

1. There is a severe imbalance between classes when it comes to mob grinding, Warriors are head andshoulders above others right from the startthey can AoE 15 goblins in the newbie zone at Level 4, a featimpossible for other classes. Their solo grinding capability in the late game is far beyond the reach of anyother class. Archers play like complete jokes, with nothing but useless skills; all those fancy jumpinganimations are nothing but flashy fluff. Summoners' pets are mind-numbingly stupid and lack anysemblance of Al.
2. The crafting difficulty of the three equipment types is grossly unbalanced. Spawn points for tamableanimals are extremely uneven-some areas have dense spawns that attract hordes of players, while mostareas have few or even no spawns at all. This makes the entire process from hunting to leatherworking gearcrafting excessively challenging.
3. Food with quality bonuses comes with exorbitant costs, a cumbersome crafting process and huge timeinvestment, but the bonus effects are barely noticeable. Meanwhile, the market fails to offer reasonableprofits, making it pointless to waste a ton of gold and time on crafting them.
4. There's a severe shortage of mobs and dungeons. As time goes by, everyone ends up enslaved by life skillsGathering, mining, logging, fishing, hunting--doing these repetitive tasks day in and day out is just likehaving a full-time job in the game.

I can't comment on points 2,3,4 since I've yet to see these aspects of the game, but classes shouldn't be balanced. They should all excel in different things and be weak in other ways.

Maybe some balancing is in order so not everyone will end up playing the same class, but overall rogues, rangers and bards shouldn't probably be doing aoe farming effectively. Similarly if Warriors have good survivability and damage, maybe it should come at a cost of mobility.
