The only "tiers" worth playing are the lower ones, only ones there's any semblance of "balance". I believe without a shadow of a doubt that the much hated "Match-maker" is working exactly as intended. Every single solitary "design decision" in this game is purely to get you to spend on their "gold", anything like "balance", "fairness", not a consideration. I will personally never spend one red cent on a pay-to-win wallet-warrior game, ever.

The so-called "wallet-warriors" don't get invisible tanks and just 'cos someone has a better tank doesn't make him a better tanker.

Regarding "Gold",  nobody is forced to buy gold, that choice is purely personal and doesn't impact on the matches.

Lower tiered battles are more about frustration for any experienced players........noobs dying quickly for no reason, etc. Higher tiered battles are about patience.......How does the saying go........'Only fools rush in.......'

I agree that the match-maker could be better at times but good/bad teams balance out in the long run.

Maybe you should give the game the time it deserves.........they have to be doing something right with so many people playing regularly!

There's no way you can see much of the game playing the free trial. Especially as most of it is now level restricted. The starter areas aren't anything like what lies ahead as you level up.

One of the major drawbacks is the linear levelling path, as mentioned by another poster.  Regardless of the class/race you choose, you still have to do the same quests unless you fancy killing 125,000,000 wargs for xp

I played the game from CB until earlier this year when, to be honest, I got bored doing the same things over and over.  The game lacks serious end-game content unless you're happy to repeat raids over and over hoping to be lucky enough to get that leet bit of gear you're short to complete the latest armour set.  PvP while innovative has always been stacked in favour of the freeps but it's kinda fun (if it weren't for a few overpowered classes it'd be the best part of the game)

If you like craftng, then this game is NOT for you. The crafting system in the game is really poor and as a result, there's little or no player economy............it's hard to make sense that someone playing the game for a few days can craft items as well as someone playing for a year or more.

The game isn't all bad tho. It does have many good features and the community is, for the most part, really friendly & helpful.  New content gets added all the time and that's never a bad thing, especially as it's free!!!

Just because a game is 2D doesn't mean it's not fun to play. 

There's a lot to do in this game besides the endless grinds that go with virtually every mmorpg and some funky gadgets to tinker with. For a change, crafting is actually kinda complex , not like many of the leading games (wow, lotro etc) and things break in this game!!! This will probably put a lot of people off..............those that want their  uber sword/bow/etc to last forever.
