Edit #4: The game has become a lot more friendly towards casual players which is great. It has become a bit less friendly towards hardcore players which is not so great.

Edit #3: This is part is mostly to get that sweet fall sale 2016 badge but the new updates do make this game more friendly torwards casual players so that's a thing now.

Edit #2: I was looking at a lot of the reviews and noticed people are saying this game is pay2win. That is not the case. It is pay2beconvenient. It is possible to get good gear without spending money, it will just be harder. With the recent season 3 update (recent as in today), it is no longer a problem to get decent stats to do raids with. You can now literally get your gear by playing the raids and using the seals you get as a 100% drop for the materials you need for your gear. Nexon has been a horrendous company in the past, but I think that as of recently they have made a change for the better. I highly suggest anyone who has quit the game for these reasons to give it another chance.

Edit: 2000+ hours and it's still pretty good.

I have played 1000+ hours of this game so they must be doing something right.
