Archeage was a pretty amazing game for the first year or so. Trion really fucked it up in a variety of ways though, even the fresh start servers were and still are a disaster. The P2W gear gap at this point is insane for new players. A guy on my server before i quit supposivedly dropped over 100k in the game. I'm with you though, if they put out a sub based non p2w server I'd come back. I would gladly deal with the awful regrade system again if that happened.

Supposedly they've really changed the way regrading works. I heard a lot of the RNG was removed with downgrading or breaking items, but at the cost of being harder to get the upgrade mats. You still fail and I guess can downgrade at the top few tiers, but until that point it's just grinding for mats.
I just don't have the time for it, and really I was never that impressed with the guild competition aspect. There are only a couple castles to compete over for thousands of people, and only a handful of contested raid mobs. You look at things like Eve, Darkfall or even Age of Wushu, there were always a lot of guild achievements by way of territory, bigger ships, a fortress etc. In Wushu, they had like 30 guild territories on every server, and they required extensive resource and time commitment to build out. In AA that aspect is limited to only a few zergs, and everyone else are just bystanders. Like I said, just doesn't offer much in the longterm.
