  I'd say T&L's biggest barrier is there is nothing original about it. It truly doesn't offer anything new that established MMOs over 10 years old already have. It doesn't even offer multiple playable races. The consensus with most mmo vets is that combat feels clunky. If they can't even get that right then this game has no chance with western audiences. I see no reason why anyone would leave the big 4 (WoW, FFXIV, GW2 or ESO) for this game. Most gamers really don't care that much about P2W unless it's too egregious as long as the game is really fun.

  Don't like P2W, and I thought the combat felt bad. It felt like it was trying to be two things at once, hard to explain. I doubt I play it, and I really want a new game to play.

  Well, the whales will play money and the average person doesn't want to pay a sub.
  

  
  

  So, as you say, they have to make money. The problem is that when the whales leave they suddenly have a drop in income.
