    It's still not fixed because this is literally P2W in the exact meaning people use to discredit other examples of P2Whatever.

    "IMO" won't help it. It's wrong.  :)

    At least they are being honest with the players now. Not lying to them.

    oddly enough, i bought this game pre-release, played during cbt/obt and thought it was ok, but, it was clearly at release a mess.
    So whilst waiting for RO to come out i decided to revisit this game, and was lovely surprise to find i had a lot of tokens, but one thing about this game has always been you pay your dollar and you get your advantages. 
    I personally have not played a more P2W game than this (im not saying there isn't a more p2w game, but i haven't played it).
    However over last month that hasn't stopped me enjoying the game its just quite funny that on its 2 year anniversary i finally cashed in my Pre-release bonuses / freebies. But it has been a bit of fun, but im so far behind other players its unreal, and yes ive enjoyed it, but counting down the days to the CBT of RO its helped kill time.

    This post is all my opinion, but I welcome debate on anything i have put, however, personal slander / name calling belongs in game where of course you're welcome to call me names im often found lounging about in EvE online.

    It was confirmed right after launch. Sorry you just got the memo, OP.

    I loved the idea of Archage or at least what it could have been. To bad it was poorly implemented, poorly maintained, and obviously a cash grab.

    If at first you don’t succeed, call it version 1.0

    The game isn't really pay to win but lets be honest....

    The only Unique Thing is "The Housing Systerm" Arche Age is better than black desert in this aspect and I wish Black Desert had of adapted the housing system except made it isntanced housing similiar to what they got but the customization aspects...

    Now About AA, The game is Pay 2 Advance Faster, and Pay 2 Enjoy, meaning you dont spend money you aren't going to enjoy the cosmetic features, or the boats in the game at all, and about pay 2 advance faster without at least Several Accounts doing Farming, and Labor unless you want to mine all day long you are not going to get good gear fast as fast as someone paying 2 advance faster having several accounts patron.

    I know because when I quit AA, I had several accounts 35 property all 24x24, 28x28, and a 44x44 I gave them all away before leaving the server because it was Dead I wanted to sell it for real money but no one wanted to buy and the Real Life money price that was spent to obtain it all it was litterly close to around $700 over the years made tons of income so considering the people I gave it to still have it all setup like I did it was one hell of a deal... But that said the reason I quit...

    . Griefing is allowed by Trion the hero system brought drama to our server, and serves no real purpose other than making one person a leader with the ability to grief all lower level guilds who want to do their own PVP type of play in the game and not follow a dictator.

    . The Performance of the game was awful invisible avatars a lot of the time during PVP broke the game the lag was just bad (Black Desert) doesn't have this problem.

    . The game file itself is heavily fragmented which is why the game performs badly.

    . The peace Treaty and purpling your own faction turned me away from the game allowing players to attack others in safe zones during trade runs to grief (another aspect that wasnt in the game and I HATE IT.0

    . The RNG Boxes Honestly I spent $200 one time for a frigging costume I never got the costume not even kidding you...

    . Trions customer support is Crap, no joke I went through customer support to deal with the Griefing Guild whom of which created havoc to certain players on our server trying to force people to install Team Speak, and other software (Who were not members) of their guild Trion refused to remove this person from the game even though they would sit out hours Pking people and camping.

    . Archeum Trees, and Braziers ruined the economy by increasing drops big times making it easy for everyone.

    . The Labor system should be removed a player shouldn't have labor cap its annoying.

    . And finally the last the $100 and $50 packs, when I started AA a year prior to this (The game wasnt this bad) but Trion decided to put them in which I quit the game its too pay 2 Enjoy Paying $100 for their expansion packs which include stuff, and now $100 to get a good looking pool for my house, or a boat... Im sick of it.

    Arche Age was fun im sure there are still kids who enjoy milking their cows and such in game, but I would rather invest my money in crow fall the amount of money i trusted in this game only to be (Ruined By Trion.)
