>>7954530an arena fighter
i actually think it being marketed as an mmo rather than an arena fighter is a large part of what's making people so upset about the game. if you come in with the expectation of open areas to quest in and/or linear dungeons to progress through while looting a bunch of gear and watching your character level up then the game ends up looking really barren. if you come in looking to fight some bosses and/or other players in an arena while making upgrades to your gear and working towards getting new classes/abilities then it's a bit on the grindy side but that's pretty industry standard for the genre
