When we get sets again im New player
For new players I would strongly suggest starting on p2p, unless you have a wallet prepared to support you about 4k euros, to play this mmo longterm.
Mainly because of the pay to win aspect, and many will say it's doable if you farm and put effort & time in it etc. But is that really what you play an mmo for? To play farm simulator til you farmed everything after 3 years to finally start plyaing the game?
Or to pay a cheap (cheapest mmo subscription I am aware of) 5euros/month (cheaper if you buy longer subtimes) to play the game at its fullest, where everyone is equal & fair from day 1.
These gifts are a distraction away from p2p as in "we're giving you FREE stuff", but is it really free if it's not meaning anything? Compared to the community and some pve aspect, you'll be irrelevant to any gameplay until you've paid a certain amount to increase your character's powers.
You could see this as a group of richkids forming on the playground and take kids into their group depending on how much they paid for.
