Yeah that is what killed the game for so many, now we have the promises that won't be that way ans they already removed so many pay to win features already, right now i think we will able to enjoy the game how we should had from start. I still don't know how long they will keep their word maybe a couple years who knows, but imo is a good chance that should not be wasted.

I really liked the sea content, even fighting pirates was fun (and a bit frightening hahaha), im also glad that the have a "cheap" pack, that will bring way more people.
