- Overall enjoyable gameplay and long-term appeal

### Cons

- Rising costs: membership/bonds and regular price increases
- Account security concerns and weak support, including false bans and denied appeals
- Reliability issues: crashes, post-update bugs, and occasionalSystem/launch problems
- Content changes or gating that remove favored items or restrict features (e.g., reputably trusted content)
