Black Desert is one of the most aggravating games I have played. Combat, visual style, and overall gameplay are some of the best in the business for MMO's. However, pearlabyss throws all of these qualities out of the window with an excessive grind, a predatory cash shop, and nearly impossible end game.

While the combat mechanics are the most unique in any mmo of recent memory, the ridiculous amount of gameable, unnecessary systems that only lead to market inflation are so laughable that it makes the game unplayable. Not to mention the ridiculous gear system, were one fuck up could cost you hours upon hours of work as you watch the gear get destroyed.
