What players say

Combat and raids loved, but monetization, RNG and chores have burned out many veterans.

Players dislike

  • P2W, RNG progression and money-gated gear upgrades
  • Endless daily chores and grind
  • Endgame needs group; solo limited to some content
  • Publisher issues; changes feel like progression selling
