Mercenaries has the shittiest servers ever possible. Like the worst times of cRPG servers are better than their best times. Mechanics are native mechanics so many weapons are broken as fuk as you can imagine, an average cRPG player could just topscore all the time with the starting mace and a shield since most people just give up blocking after 2-3 hits.
It has a better level system tho, which is no levels. So your grind doesn't effect your skill, you can just mash people up with starting eq. tho it has no economy, trade system whatsoever.
Also forums are filled with danK kiDz xDD think they roast everyone with shitty memes, no info sharing or whatsoever.
It's like when you try to quit smoking, but start using electronic cigarettes.
