Can you explain how it's not a problematic game to play or without typical trappings of Korean like games? Besides "well other people play it!" which doesn't really tell me much. It is very grindy, yes? It has P2W, yes? It has lootboxes, yes? It's hardly the first game of its type.

> I think the combat can easily carry this game

I loved the combat in NW and that was not at all enough to carry it. Ultimately, MMORPGs do not live and die neither by combat nor by graphics.

I've seen the cash shop. It's as pay-to-win as World of Warcraft. (that game also has you grinding for gear and stats). Costumes from the cash shop, and other stuff there can be resold in the auction house after you don't want it anymore, so you can get it with ingame currency. You can also buy the optional monthly sub with ingame currency.


The reason it could be considered pay to win is that with premium currency you can buy the things you could buy with ingame currency, without the grind (which is the same thing that WoW has). Also, combat in new world to this simply doesn't compare.
