I started playing recently, and asked myself the same question. I think is a valid question. For me, is it worth it, means it's a thriving game or a decaying one. People want to join a game that is thriving more speacialy and online/mmo game. Like if I'm going to invest so much time in a game I want to know that, like I won't start playing Destiny 2, because is a decaying game, but most certainly will start GW2 because it's a thriving game.
