I know a few people have already said this, but if you aren't having fun then it's probably time to give it up or take a break.

You shouldn't stick to things you don't enjoy. Play less, or not at all for a while, see how it goes. I've been playing 30 minutes or less per week since jan/feb 2010 due to time constraints, and it's showed me how much I miss the game, if I had the time I would be very active again.

I believe my three favorite we're Jando's insight on 2hd vs dual wield, their method, and someone's on rafting.

If that's how you feel then quit now. You seem to be looking for a simple hack and slash. The days of G3 being gone only means that Mabinogi isn't easy as hell anymore. If it's getting too much for you then find a new game.
Honestly I think it's gotten easier not harder. But that's just me.
Take a siesta away from mabinogi and you will know how much you honestly like this game. If you like it enough that you think about the differences and advantages Mabinogi has while playing another game it may be too soon for you to quit. if you can play or do something else without worrying about mabinogi your safe and don't come back to it.
This game is going to hell and I don't blame anyone that can't handle it - theres little left making me play it still as well.

After reading your post, it's obvious that Mabinogi is no longer fun to you. You aren't playing in order to have fun or anything like that, you are trying to be better than anybody else (skill/equipment/enchants wise), or maybe even fashion wise, hence the many calculations you have in your mind. Wanting to be better than anybody else is what drives some people to play MMORPGS (I'm among those :D), but once you've noticed that it's nearly impossible to do so, you'll give up and get bored. Since your gaming style revolved around that idea, trying to be lay back and not grind might not work for you anymore. If you are the type of person that quits due to "ridiculous" new content, you'd have quit a long time ago, since I doubt goggle caps, lava cat robes and most clothing in general aren't part of Celtic mythology :S!
So yeah, it's time for you to quit, or take a loooooong break until you noticed how wrong you were lol.
Sorry for being harsh, but your way of thinking pisses me off. (lol)
Oh, plus generation 3 Baol Final is freakin' hard. No generation quest should require people in your party to be over lv700 in order to hope to survive a quest that you get when you are around lv200.

Oddly, I didn't find your post as offensive as you think. I was actually talking about Baol infiltration, but Boal final is hard too I guess. Depending on how good Dragon Age II is will decide my activity and again when Elder Scrolls V comes out a day after my birthday. I think once Elder Scrolls comes out I may just drop Mabinogi completely since... well it's freakin Elder Scrolls V!
