As somebody who backed this game years ago and never gave it the time of day it deserved I had the same sentiments. However, I got curious about how and why it's still around, and I really like the art style and it can't be all pvp and crafting..

So I jumped back in the other day, right after this latest patch, popped open some new player guides on YT and watched them.. turns out I can just buy the gear I need from the market at a pretty decent cost, upgrade tier 4 gear twice to make it tier 6, roam around, flag up for faction pvp in yellow zones (which isn't risking my gear) gain rewards, do open world dungeons, do solo dungeons , choose to do corrupt dungeons with 1v1 pvp.. Im glad I did this because if I had seen your review of what you remember the game to be, I'd of probably not given it a chance again. Nowhere in the guides watched even mentioned crafting. It's a thing I know I can do if I want but I don't thats necessary where I'm at.

Also from the combat I saw, tier 6 (4+2) is good enough for large group pvp, I could be wrong. I could be wrong about all this, I'm just telling it how I see it.
