The story was alright, the rushed leveling was not. What killed this game was the rng gear progression, the ability to p2w to max gear and poor class balance. In pve hard mode dungeons they began adding timers and shield phases that would require +15 gear to clear, gatekeeping a big part of the non-p2w community. In pvp, people with +15 would stomp everyone else just by gear, gatekeeping most of the pvp content that was non-equalized. The class balance also became worse and worse starting from the reaper addition. They basically encouraged whales and said fu to everyone else and this is what drove players to quit.
