Go play BDO or Breakpoint before you try to slam this game for it's weak cashshop. There's nothing in there that you need to buy to do anything. Literally is the weakest cashshop in all of gaming. Tera, breakpoint, BDO, ESO and any EA game is far worst then anything here. I don't see the issue you're having.

Just because something is the lesser of two evils doesn't mean it is okay. I am not paying a sub for those games and most of those games you mentioned don't have a subscription model where players are providing them with steady cash flow. FFXIV does and even yoshi-p him self talk about it. https://venturebeat.com/2013/06/17/f...lay-exclusive/. These other games you mentioned have cashflow only from sell digital items. I am sure it much worse.
