Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
Which proves MMOs that are also on mobile, are easily optimized for PC since they don't have to be too intensive on phones, I have a RTX 3050 and I got max settings at 130 FPS...in combat and in the social hubs, which 9/10 times you can't have good visuals with good frames unless you have a massive rig.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Maybe it might be worth playing in 1 - 2 years (assuming it survives that long) once they release new characters or expand the skill / passive systems, but for now, it's an easy skip unless you're extremely bored and really have nothing else to play.
