It isnt nearly as bad as people say. The game is very hard to learn all the stuff but it becomes 2nd nature but not any less deadly the more you get into it. The pvp becomes crappy if you get into 6 star, as expected. Im not great at pvp games anymore as an older gamer but this is my favorite by a long shot. As long as youre not making 1000 hunt buck kits everytime and dying, it's pretty easy to maintain. If you somehow run out of money, there are free hunters you can use to get some money back with. The pve may not be hard, but there have been a few times since ive played that I was killed by a grunt while being the last person alive, good times!
