Every time I read about about P2W and Archage I remember this

To me, Archeage could have been an amazing game if it wasn't for the enchanting. I could ignore everything else that was wrong with the game but the enchanting part was the last straw. All that effort I put in farming and doing trade runs just to end up with the same quality or worse, lower quality gear, was frustrating and heartbreaking. I don't know if you can consider it P2W after that video but it was definitely a terrible business model for the player base.
