Here's a little analyses of the game from a mostly f2p players perspective over 9 months of playtime, playing very efficiently every day.
If any of you new players expect to be top tier as f2p run away now. It is impossible even at maximum efficiency due to the limited time between new tier/content release. You have to p2w if you want to be full endgame.
With that being said...
Hope I can save at least a few people from 8-12 months of f2p torture just to realize your dreams of becoming a desirable endgame player are shrouded by your bank pin.
However, People who can look past "gear" and "playtime" will have a much more enjoyable experience.
Finally, if the game wasn't so greedily developed I'd happily drop it a 5 star, but I have to say... I feel a little underappreciated even being a light p2w and a long time player.
And just to clarify by "Light" I mean over $150.

Nice game but I wish you could pick up items and not have to rely on your party to do it. I've gotten some nice drops I would have liked to pick up but instead they ignore it and die to enemies before they get around to looting it. feelsbadman other than that enjoyable.
Same Xmangamer, I'm being spawn camped by 3 enemies. They stagger me constantly so I can't move or attack. This is game breaking and needs to be fixed.
Spent over 100 bucks total and I'm completely disappointed. I highly discourage spending it's a pure gamble. I could see you spending more than me and getting screwed over. I'm not the only one who this has happened to. If you really wanna spend considering all this, don't go for epic/exotic pets/accessories. Get the rune bundle for beginners or the 200% xp/item find tomes and save up as much honor for energy pots as you can to make the most out of them.
