I'm really trying to like this game, but it's brutally unfun right now.... Is there a trick to not being perpetually knocked down and stunned?
I feel your pain. I'm in the same situation you're in: where I have such fond memories of how engrossing this game was to me when it was fresh and new, wanting to recapture that feeling and finding no possibility of it. I'm afraid you're just stuck, and there's no solution to the problem. This game, in it's current form, is an absolutely exhausted dead-end with nothing meaningful to do and nowhere meaningful to go. I haven't played it more than a few weeks in the past year (first to pick up the new skyscale, and then to bring my mysteries to the current max).
At this point, I wouldn't even bother logging on. I'm just waiting for the new expansion to drop: which will probably supply me with ~3 weeks of great fun and then leave me right in the same place after that.
