The story is trash. P2w people will argue on the topic. But you can buy gold to skip the grind. Leveling and pvp is time gated. I don't know why they thought this was a good idea. There has been terrible drama between one of the youtubers sped where the company shot them in the back for releasing a video about negative aspect of the game. So they harassed and banned him and his crew. There alot of strange people who will defend this game with everything they have. But it's just a money grab. Prices for skins and battle pass are insane and at start everything was character bound not account bound. They have reversed this on some things but the damage has been done. Sad I wanted to believe in this game but I'll be waiting for the next one.
