But guess what, you know what else is pay-to-win in that circumstance? World of Warcraft.” Asmongold urged his viewers to not spend outside of their means to get ahead in the game. The Twitch streamer goes on to describe Lost Ark as a “breath of fresh air” in the MMO space due to the game’s nonchalant nature and outlandish characters. He also praised Lost Ark’s combat and labeled it, “the main factor that attracts a lot of people, and keeps them playing.” Asmon said the games feels like “if Diablo was an MMO.” Although he praised the games with many positive attributes, he was at a loss for words when describing the story as he wasn’t a huge fan. He also shared trepidation with the pay-to-win features that exist in the game, and said he will circle around to those once he puts out a full review of the MMO “in a few months.”
