Honestly, Poorna Shanker and mmorpg.com ought to be ashamed of themselves.

For this stream, people got excited for 2 new bosses which is same boss but different location.
Also yesterday 1 official stream and 10 stream snipers streaming same exact thing hahahaha pathetic
I dont mind cosmetics but they really gone too far with it. Cant wait for lazypeon review 2 months after game is released, i think hes going to need 2 min just to list cons.
Overall it seems like it will fail because i dont get what makes it special, but doesnt seem like a scam.

Dude, they ruined whole mmorpg with restrictions. You have restricted player to player trade, trade or what they call caravan, auction, stats are not 100% from gear etc it is not scam but game is just for money grabbing nothing else.
I dont get how does these function contribute into money grabbing? Stats not 100% from gear sounds less like pay to win? Runescape also has limited trade to limit gold farmers and hackers ruining the economy. A limited economy is more friendly to the player and less scams can happen there and its harder to break it.... Anyway... It just seems like you hate these features ... But that does not make it a money grabbing game...
Or maybe you can clarify more in depth how you came to that conclusion.

Money grabbing:
They fully funded game and still opened kickstarter.
After kickstart finished they opened webshop for cosmetics which is fine but to have at this day over 400 cosmetics and game is still in alpha is insane. You wont find any game company selling over 400 cosmetics for game which is in alpha.
Game is delayed over 3 years, reason? Unknown, but if we look how they pack alpha keys with 500$+ mark there is no questions it is delayed for money grabbing. And they will open alpha packs again!
If anyone say, you know you cant make mmorpg in 1 year they need time and that person is right but if you go to their kickstarter they Interpid put estimation 1 year. Estimation is estimation but they still put 1 year. From beggining till today its over 4+ years and game is still in alpha.
For restrictions i mention, if we look things above (which are true, you can easily check it) they are there for reason. Why not make mmorpg as mmorpg but instead restrict many features so people can very slowly progress and pay 15$ a month. Why cant you simply buy item from auction but instead you need to waste probably 15-30 or more min depend where auction item is located so you can spend more time ingame.
Every month new cosmetics and i mean jpgs, there are even comments on reddit about some mount which was in livestream and people are not happy to see that model is not exact as jpg they sold.
...........................................................
Also every livestream we see simple things. In this livestream we saw new boss. 1 monster and thats it. We also saw trebuchet, another model, he didnt fire with it just showed model.
Q&A is scripted. Every livestream most of questions is about shop, cosmetics, things they already have. Where are questions like:
Why game is delayed
Are we gonna see prices only for alpha/beta?
If steven said hype is bad then why he have content creators who are doing 0 job because there is nothing else to show it and doing nothing to prevent official content creators for restreaming whole thing over and over again? And why allow these people to spam subreddit with useless and nothing new videos?
Why hire CM team for freaking alpha?
Release date?
Why game have so many restrictions?
Why 2 versions of website, years of waiting and backend is nothing. 3 support tickets, 2 different answers??
If i have ship why i cant start sailing from anywhere i want?
Why did you introduced useless monster coin feature?
Why do you have another useless feature like corrupt system if friend of corrupted player kills him, he gets his items. What kind of prevention of killing players in open world is that?
There are tons and tons of questions..
I used to get confused by the two lol.It isn't hard with my already sketchy memory plus the fact that if i am not THAT interested in the product it is easy to forget.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Thanks for the info, appreciate it.
