it is one of the biggest p2w games currently on the Pc market.

but that only reveals itself once you are in endgame.
Before endgame it will deceive you into believing that it is f2p friendly.
Some day 1 players with thousands of hours of playtime may deny it, but you will see it yourself once you reach endgame

Now the decision is yours

nowadays everyone calls every f2p game P2W..

It's for you to decide if it's p2w or not

I don't consider a 'PvE game' with ways to progress faster by using real money a P2W game.

However looking at your game history I don't think this game is for you anyways, if it's your first MMORPG then I wouldn't recommend starting with this game, try something more casual. Regardless the game is free to try and there's a boost event that takes you right into the solo raid content. You could try that and see if it's fun for you.

Just go at your own pace, they have solo raids now so there's no pressure to get into groups.. you can pay to progress faster but you don't really win anything.

you pay2beahead, to be stronger than people, but so that you can carry them in raids
so yes, if you want to carry people and have people praise you, you win, but in terms of vs anyone else, there isn't really any pvp stats difference at all since that is normalized.

This isn't a pay2win game but yet it can be depends on how you define it.

you dont have to p2w theres rly no benefit to it all it does is let you pay to play the game less like every p2w game

"This is no P2W game!"
"You cant win a PvE Game"

-Puts 14k hours into it.



Yeah, it costs time. A Factor no one can give you back.

It is P2W. You will be experiencing hardcore gatekeeping if you don't spend alot of money or time

Its P2W game if you want to keep up with others.
But if you just want to play & enjoy the game then its not.

Currently its the best time to join the game as a new player with all the events going on.
Its a free game so i highly recommend to try it.

Its pay2fast actually

It's definetly a P2W game no doubt. You have ability to play it fully without paying money, but you need to pay reaaaaally alot with you time, and sanity lol. You wont get into raids without cardset and guess what, it took me 4k hours and a lot of card runs to get it, but you can always pay for RNG card packs from store wink wink :)

weirdly its always the best time to join for new players since a whole 2 years according to people like you!
because there is always some kind of event going on.

yet the experience is and was always horrible for people which dont p2w or put thousands of hours in (and even then it is bad)

Ask yourself this my friend:

If spending money DID NOT give you any form of Advantage, regardless if it is:

Time, Progress or Power,

THEN WHY are there people spending Thousands of Dollars each month on it?


The answer is very clear. :steammocking:
biggest p2w/botted game on steam

The answer is very clear. :steammocking:
They are rich in the first place, it is like going to a destination walk, run, take public transport, drive car either cheap or expensive, canoe or jet ski or large cruise ship , flying by plane, flying a private plane or chopper. How fast do you want to get there and can you afford it? Will you be able to reach your destination eventually - yes. it's a difference between have and have not. For me the free things that they gave to f2p players and no need to pay like the rich guy. They come in form of free mats, free pass, free 5x3 engravings and many others that I will be happy to reach a certain point in the game. of course just like in the real world, I won't attain the status of those millionaires/billionaires for in this game the whale but that is what is life is all about.

Game has good skins , mounts and others -- they buy it -- it's like buying designer clothes and expensive cars -- but they look great. Can you afford it? for me I'll settle for the free one that they are giving away.

Some prefer to dine finely in a restaurant, and some others are happy taking the freebies in the garbage container just outside of it, indeed :steamthumbsup:

except in the gaming world there are games which dont work like that, but they treat people as equals, does not matter if you earn 2k or 100k dollars per month

this is the flaw in your argumentation which you seemingly wont ever understand, as you only ever played mobile and absurd p2w games it seems

not worth my time.

Luckily i dont really care if it is worth your time, people like OP can read this and judge themselves, i am just here to expose these lies

and the educated people will see easily what is right, that is why the game is dying too :steamthumbsup:
