Neverwinter Knights has pretty big PVE advantages I don ' t play FFXIV , the big thing here is that top on PVE players are in guilds with huge requirements . Top mythic guilds normally require good warcraftlog performance , and this expansion they set Artifact Power requirements . My guild set such a high AP req I ended up quitting instead of grinding itHowever , you don ' t have to be in a top guild , you could just do heroic all day and have funWoW has a megaserver now so there is open world pvp on all pvp servers . Ultimately , after playing GW 2 , BDO , and WoW all competitively and heavily , money gets you advantages , but you don ' t need to spend money to be competitive in any 3 of these games . Games like ArcheAge are what I consider pure P 2 W as you are forced to spend money or you ' ll never be competitive .
