And saying it doesn't look better than mobile games is a bit disingenuous.

Good thing I didn't say that. :D

I think your problem is sourcing opinions from people you deem to be paid hacks.

Okay, so. If I found a trusted reviewer in my YouTube search, after scrolling through pages of it. I would've.

But to get into part two of that rant. If Lost Ark didn't exist. I wouldn't have seen a random unfollowed user on twitter say, "Guys, some play to win games are good. And some not pay to win games are bad. Guys. Guys." 

With the entire comment section grilling him for the fact he used to go after bad monetization practices, and also knew exactly what game he was defending. (And I use paid hacks semi-ironically. Youtubers gotta eat too. But it's only because the game has spent "Raid:Shadow Legends" money on advertising itself/paying people daily to play & stream it.

I think it's just because I heard some fuck with a thick accent, pretend to be excited when he could [b][i]jump[/i][/b] in an MMO. And it made me lose my mind.

I can't deny that the moment to moment fighting of enemies is solid enough to be better than garden variety ARPGs.

I've loved to hear examples of ARPG'S it's better than in comparison. 

But I suppose everyone said the same thing about Tera too. About how great the combat system is. And eh? I suppose it's probably more fun to play, then it is to watch. 

But the kind of zealous online defense and equal parts hatred that I'm seeing from the community about this dated MMORPG. I think I'll stick with the cash grab I'm already fooling myself into playing. Thanks.
