    It is a little bit flawed, but still this game remains really fun. It has diverse classes, ok building mechanics and fun weapon forging. The micro transactions are optional so you don't have to worry. Still it's not perfect and has a lot of problems. But for what it is it's worth playing.

    -crazy amount of grind
    -did i mention the friggin grind??
    -lots of random disconnects when trying to go through portals
    -rubberbanding all the time ( where the server stops getting info and it just puts you back where it last knew you were, also takes items from your inventory if you got them while the server stopped getting info)
    -immature and hostile community- expect to be trolled in one way or another.
    -poor customer service (2 week + for any ticket , and thats just for the canned response. easily can go past a month before resolution)
    -building is pointless with the rubberbanding as your build will disappear right in front of your eyes
    -lots of "RNG" trolling (everything is rng based and the results are almost always disappointing)
    -gems system is more insane grind
    -developer that truly doesnt care about making a fun game, just concerned with profit
    -poor UI
    -everything is becoming untradeable so no point in the auction house
    -vague item descriptions
    -no in game mail system

    ultimately this game is barely playable with all the bugs and grind . They dont even bother to fix them. The rubberbanding issue and random disconnects have been a problem since beta and has NEVER been fixed. Gamers should really demand better than this.    … Expand

    + Lots of classes (14) unfortunately can only be unlocked from the store with credits now.
    +Lots of players
    +Weekly updates with bug fixes and content
    +Public Test Server (the best part about this game , accessible when you have any max lvl class on the live server, however this may change soon with their upcoming P2W revamp)
    +More colors then minecraft
    +Fast and fun PvE combat
    +4 different houses (called cornerstones)you can design and use
    +can make your own club and club world
    +3 "professions"
    +No queue to play (if it says there's a queue its cause the server is getting an update. not sure what the other reviewers are talking about a queue)
    +Lots of mounts
    +Lots of stuff to collect
    +Can switch classes anywhere
    +Auction house that you can access anywhere

    Cons:
    - VERY MUCH P2W !! Classes are now cash purchase only and no longer able to be bought with in game currency. also the majority of the game store wares are credits only . An extreme amount of grinding required to do anything on the live server with all of it being able to be bypassed by paying real money( and expensive too ..10$ wont get you much ) also there's the mastery system ..see below
    - Strange leveling system . Ends at lvl 20 and after that , you gain levels by upgrading your gear which requires more grinding somewhat boring content and mining(or of course paying real money )[EDIT: this is changing soon as they are reworking all the classes and leveling in general making it take longer to level]
    - If not mentioned yet ..EXTREMELY GRIND HEAVY on the live server (non test server)..
    -Mastery system , you gain mastery when you collect things , level your classes, level "professions" .. this is the worst and most blatant attempt to get players to spend money that i have ever seen .. In order to do end game content at all you need to be a very high level of mastery (if not maxed) and the ONLY way to get max mastery ..is by spending well over 50$ in the cash shop.
    -No in game mail system
    - Random crashes (game wide issue not on my end)

    Overall they are taking a very P2W direction, and ignoring the existing player base which is in an uproar about it.    … Expand

    Trove is a free to play mmo crafter, loots, and building game...
    You start the game choosing 1 of 14 classes, all of which can be unlocked by buying with real cash, or rare drops in game.. so choose carefully…
    And you spend the rest of the game, just doing stuff…
    There isn’t much too the game even though there is much to do…
    the game starts teaching you how to claim land… you can do anything you want with this chunk… and the best part is it comes with you.. when you’re in a new world and you claim a plot, everything from your last plot comes with it, so you lose nothing…
    there’s actually reason to put effort into building if you’d like…
    Your character can go into 2 modes, combat and building mode..
    In building mode you can break blocks, collect blocks, and stack bocks like Minecraft…
    it’s a decent tool... not quite as fluent and responsive as Minecraft... in fact it’s fairly frustrating at times to get blocks to go where you want them too… but not too bad that it gets in the way of the gameplay
    and in combat mode.. You do your combat thing... slay enemies... do your special moves with cool downs, collect loot…
    raid dungeons, snatch the loot from the chest you get after defeating a boss…
    do it with friends or alone…
    gather materials so you can craft benches and forges to extract materials to upgrade your favorite weapons and work on increasing your power rank…
    That’s the entire game..
    increase your power rank which is done by leveling up and equipping better gear and upgrading it…
    And going to random dungeons in the world for this better gear…
    raising your rank gives you access to higher level portals which means better weapons.. all the way up to 10,000 power rank which is ridiculous considering getting to my first 250 took 3hrs itself…
    Needless to say this free to play offers a great grind for those that have nothing better to do than run around with your friends and grind for better gear… I’ve been there before...
    im not there now, but I can still appreciate this game for what it is…
    that doesn’t mean its well designed though...
    this is essentially a shallow version of minecraft with lazy feeling dungeons…
    theres not much to see for anyone not after a grind beyond the games initial hour…
    But its free…
    You can buy as many items as youd like with real money…
    But you dont have to.. You can collect currency from grinding and using the user marketplace
    I never ran into a progression wall
    just a wall of boredom…
    But again... this isn’t really a game for those with not a lot of time..
    It’s a hop online with your friends after school kind of game

Plus, you will never discover all the different community-created Head, Face, and Weapon skins you unlock as you pick up loot and drop it in your "loot collector". You have this "cornerstone"(house) which you can build and bring to you by activating pre-set areas of land all over the world. Super-fun, Definitely recommend it. The only annoyance is there's only 3 pieces of equipment, and only 3 spells to use on each class. But you can customize the equipment and the spells usually work together so it's not too irksome, though I do hope somewhere down the line we see them expand one of these areas to give the game more complexity.
    Keep in mind that this score is not taking into account the long wait times when it first came out. It's pretty much impossible for online games to have a good start as far as servers go, because developers don't want to expand servers just for the initial rush and then have all of this leftover server capacity when people lose interest over time.    … Expand

Some grinding is required like mining for resources etc, but they reward you for it. You get xp/mastery points and chests that contain some neat stuff.

    A big part of the game is also building/design and crazy character customizations. I'm not really interested in that stuff, but I am completely satisfied with the run and gun, dungeon smashing, loot explosions.

A second thing is that most players in the game play for currency sales on the site, and as such, it becomes more of a business than entertainment
    It's a pity that a beautiful game was killed because of its makers.

    But if we put these aside and evaluate the mechanics of the game, for the pros:
    - Hundreds of collectible content ideal for those who like to collect
    - Lots of class options (although characters that hit physical damage are not important)
    - Seasonal events
    For the cons:
    - Extremely p2w
    - The servers are too laggy, the game cannot even be played properly
    - There is a lot of cheating and cannot be prevented (automatic fishing, automatic bomber royale playing, geode speed hack etc.)
    - Most of the seasonal activities I mentioned in the pros have a quest line that only takes 1 hour and there is nothing left to do once you complete it.

    Trove is an ok game. It's far from perfect but it guarantees considerable amount of fun. You get interesting new ideas, a diverse world and really cool classes but it could be so much more. The combat is too simple, the endgame is repulsive and lobby queues are extremely long. It's "pretty good" right now and on its way to "very good" in the future.
