Yes you do not get loot immediately as you want in many pc/console games) but this really is a mobile game which you mostly play through excess time (during breaks, before going to bed possibly, toilet room visits, commuting to tasks etc) so having a wait time in between shouldn't be much of an issue if you don't would like to play constantly, which you can, it just limits you a bit with the waiting mechanic. I've played with other cellular games where you can just open specific chests or packs in case you a superior subscription participant and also then you usually have to pay with more in-game premium money to start the packs and chests, the chests in The Elder Scrolls Blades is quite moderate in comparisson.

I get that he is new but you are supposed to hit much faster than he is and once you swipe say right to left in order to slash you down it and swipe again from left to right to make a combo attack that does more damage and you strike more often so you boost your dps. Maybe it because he is currently using a greatsword and that is slower? I have only used one handed weapons with a shield and I've had no problems killing many oponents (except the eldest **king trolls, Jesus I hate them) I can not imagine being so bad off you can't kill any critters in the jobs and being unable to repair your gear.

Yes I did pay for a few of those OP swords later in The Elder Scrolls Blades so possibly that invalidates my argument but I got a uncommon enchanted silver dagger from a silver chest that I then tempered to a rare (exquisite quality) dagger at my smithy that doesn't still quite compare to the blade that I payed for but it does toxin damage that's kinda the roguish construct I wanted to really go for and it works really well when I use it. Later in the main quest you will get a Elder torso (I managed to do the quest with my silver dagger so it's possible to do it without paying).
