Hi guys, I have read lot of positives and negative rewiews of this game, but it seems that every aspect which is said to be positive from one games is then said to be negative by another gamer. Since I can not really make my own conclusion based only on that I would like to aks just a couple of quaestions about this game before considering that BIG download. OK to cut to the chase here are thing I am interesed in and I would like to thank  everyone for answer.

1. Does anyone experience how much is this game item shop dependent on PvE only aspect of the end at its end? (i do not have problem spending some cash but I read that I must spend tons of it which I am not willing to do)

2. Is this just another grind fest? (also based on reading that after lvl 30 it becomes just tons of grinding)

3.Does it have a lot of bugs (bug here and there is not an issue but lots of them are)

4. What is end game content? (dungeons, raids, ... )

5. Is housing heavy cash shop dependent?

1. Last PvE areas and instances requires investing lots in gear before entering those. So using item shops items is like a must for end game content , but all those items can be also obtained without spending real money from other players (and there are high lvl players, who didn't spend money but posses great items). So is more like a choice - spending real money or spending more time in game (to obtain game money/items, which can be traded for needed item shop items). Without using item shop items stats bonuses from items will be like 2/3 of those possible with item shop (like 4 stat bonuses instead of max. 6 on every item), it may be enough to play (and except last 2 game areas and instances it really is enough with good play), but will be much harder.

2. There is really tones of quests available, so until lvl 54 (not enough quests between 54 and 55) to leveling grind is not required (not that all those quests are brillant, most of them is like kill XX of these creatures, drop NN items from those, but there is lots of variety of different quest so its not boring and not pure grind). Grind starts hitting about lvl 50, to get good gear and stats to insert in this gear is required to do lots of instance raids (low droprate for good items), to get 50 elite skills even more grinding required, another grinding part for obtaining epic weapons. It's not that those grinding part is required to play further (stats can be bough, lots of good items too, elite 50 skills and epic weapon are not a must to play in last areas), but after leveling to max lvl there is only grinding part left to play (even high lvl instances are interesting for 1st maybe 2nd time, but on 10th time is nothing more like boring grind). Plus there is some like needed grind for every day (10 daily quests - required to do at least some of them to add stats in items).

 3. Not much bugs (but every patch in most cases fix some bugs, but bring new bugs instead), irritating part is that existing bugs can be left for very long time (like some quests chain for one instance, bugged from start of game - is year already and still not fixed) without corrections or are treated as "working as intended" (like possibility to use item shop set - undroppable in PvP even filled with stats).

4. Just like that - dungeon (named instances in RoM). Too bad, raids in instances are limited to only 6 people (only one instance for 12 people) and instances are always the same inside (same number and placement of monster) - no random instances. 

5. Houses are free, there are also some furniture for game money available. Different type of inside house, furniture with better look, which can give additional bonuses (fastest exp gain) or can be used to craft in home is available in item shop only. Also putting more than 10 furniture in house also requires using money.
