What is 'Pay to Win'?
When does a game become pay to win?
If you can get an item in game, or buy it, is it still pay to win?
It's a complex situation, and when a game becomes 'pay to win' is really dependant on the individual player.

Every MMO Youtuber has tried to define MMORPG, but we still dont have an agreed upon definition, and I think its because, honestly...
The acronym MMORPG is really, really bad at telling you anything about what the genre actually is, its not mechanical, or asthetic, it creates a set of games so broad they can look completely different from each other.
So why is the acronym so bad? Lets discuss.

1 hour.
60 minutes.
Not enough time to finisn an MMO, BUT...
More than enough time to decide if an MMO is high quality, low quality, or worth any more of your time.
Here are 10 objective things to look for when playing a new MMO to decide if its a good game.
1: Does it work?
2: Can I change the Resolution?
3: Can I change the Keybinds?
4: Graphical consistency and style
5: Sound and Audio Design
6: Voice Acting
7: The Tutorial
8: Physical objects having Physics
9: U.I. Quality and Scaling
10: Variations within the Game Style
