Almost every F2p mmorpg has cash shop. Almost everyone that does not have money complains that cash shop killed the game. There are still plenty of people still playing Rohan. There are almost no botters anymore because they are already max level or left the game. There was alot at start of open beta, but only because there was a free and easy to get bot going around.

Every mmorpg has grind. Depending on your playstyle it might seem more or less of a grind. People forget there are quests to do and dungeons to party up at. I agree that the endgame is kinda weak. Not really much to do but help others, do dungeons, sometimes township battles, and random pking. It is a free game though.

I am playing again off and on and I am enjoying it. The dragon race is pretty sweet. You get to turn into a small dragon at later levels.
