I've been playing for quite a while. I don't love the instant badging for P2W games, but all in all this game is somewhat entertaining. I don't think we should instantly bash a game for trying to make a buck or two here. Devs aren't a flipping nonprofit organization.
The normal gameplay and the PVP to this game are barely connected. Other than the few percent of DPS you get from achievements, they don't really affect each other.
