“Game used to be amazing but up until the recent two or three years they jus stopped caring about their player base and ignoring us completely or banning us all on false accusations. I've spent about a thousand hours on this game before it…”
“Do not play games from NA Nexon unless you want to be treated as a farm animal. A lot of my hours aren't logged since I indrect launch, I have 3 lv 90 characters and have played since 2011. I'm telling you, don't.”
