How's the game nowadays?

I played (for 2 months) at launch where the crafting system was short of what they promised, totally random rolls determined who get the loot from castle generals, difference between best gear and basic one was just a few meaningless attribute points and where a whole 40 levels in the pvp leveling branch would give almost zero benefit.

Anyone from launch still playing? How's the experience now?

I'm not currently playing, but I've played quite a bit over the past year.  They never really seemed to really fix the loot rolls, as I'd still get top contribution sometimes after just arriving on the scene.  

Gear on the other hand is the complete opposite of what you speak.  t4 is miserable until you reach rr50ish (and that was before they upped the rr cap to 100).  I kinda wish the game was a little less of a gear grind, but I did enjoy it somewhat once my rr got up to even the low 40s.  Again, this is from before the raising of the cap to 100, but I did hear (source is word of mouth so take it with a grain of salt-and im more than willing to be corrected) that the new gear/levels makes the gap between new t4 people and the higher rr even worse.

 

Overall, I did enjoy it, I just got bored during parts of the day when no orvr would be going on (which despite the server merges, its just a fact of life that some parts of the day are going to be somewhat dead, or one side with the population at that time will have taken control of everything), and so I left for that reason.

There is still random rolls, but there is good news on that front in a few weeks probably. They are allowing you to opt out of only the gold bags, thus, if you already have the armor from the keep attack/def, but still want medallions you can let someone else have it.

Crafting is still weak, but few people do it so it is good $$.

The gear grind is being changed, not sure if it will be better or wose overall, kinda depends on the tier it looks like. One thing for new Tier4s is Annihilator is regular gold only now.
