Seems a bit contradicting in those statements. In what they're implying. But most bad monetization practices [b]aren't[/b] so zealously defended. Like I'm seeing online. [i]Not from you specifically mind.[/i][/quote]

I don't think that's contradicting. Lost Ark not being pay to win doesn't contradict that there are games with worse monetization than it. SWTOR, for example, a game I genuinely enjoy literally locks you out of [i]having multiple action bars and being able to move above a light jog[/i] unless you give them money to do so. 



[quote]I mean even the people I've seen defending the game, casually talk about how it'll die down in hype and go away in a month. [i][b]And for a f*cking MMO.[/b][/i] That's NOT AT ALL a good thing. [i]This isn't a flavor of the month indie title. A good MMO, [b]will not[/b] [color=ed1c24]die in a month[/color].[/i][/quote]

Most MMOs have their most populous period at launch and then again at expansion releases. I don't think it'll die but I also doubt it'll go the way of New World.

[i]I've looked up and seen one of the "cinematic dungeons" and they look nice enough.[/i]

I mean I don't play many mobile games but that looks like a typical MMO character menu to me
