It was a great MMO from around 1-2 years after launch up until Velious + f2p rolled in. f2p ain't inherently bad but the way they did it was so greedy and money whoreish it completely turned me off from the game. That and the fact that now you have to TRY to die in PvE and try hard. The game got dumbed down completely, and even crafting become useless because all the coolest furniture, armor, etc could only be bought with real life cash.
