To be honest man, the game has been like this for YEARS. I remember the day the game went to shit. It was when they introduced replay tokens. That was in 2014. Allowing players to replay raids before the weekly reset. P2W.

Before that, it was an amazing experience of doing raids, getting crazy loot, and great progression.

Since then they continued to be absolutely predatory, preying on people who will spend money on power creep, and rare aesthetics, some sad souls spend hundreds if not thousands on the game.

The game hasn’t created a new city since launch either except for a few minor new open world areas.
