played since the golden age, game is fun even in 2024 but of course endgame is ass

Played this for as long as I can remember, the game never lost its way it simply became more terrible with time and poor mamagement.
The latest content update is available only for 1% of the playerbase because you have to pay your heart and soul in order to achieve the endgame stuff and grinding for it isn't an option you have to pay to progress which would be fine if it wasn't in the thousands due to the poorest enhancement system in the world.
The economy is absolutely damned and they removed/nerfed any way to get currency to the point where you have to make well over 15 characters in order to actually get some decent amount and you have to play them all daily or else your progress is halted.
The "premium costumes" known as Ice Burners are obtained from gacha and have less than 2% chance of dropping for $1 a try which is beyond absurd and makes their prices on the market impossible to get.
The community is nothing short of toxic, they will eat you alive if you breathe the wrong way and if you don't play a meta character your chances of progressing went from 5% to 0 because no one will accept you to parties or even acknowledge your existence.
The devs are money hungry and give 0 ♥♥♥♥♥ about the game anymore and are milking it dry before it inevitably shuts down and it's already apparent with how little players there are in the hubs now.
Veterans will never leave this hellish place due to trauma, but for new players please do avoid the headache and multiple brain rotting individuals you will encounter.
