I was stupid enough to pre-order this and I tried it briefly.
Literally, truly, I was disgusted.
Ah so you did. Ignore my other post. So what is your take on it? why were you disgusted, the game or the cash shop?

I don't know why Korean games do this but it was a minor announce to me even though I like to play male character.Well, let's see:
Gender-locked classes
Isn't wizard male ranged DPS? Or you mean no male Ranger class?No male ranged DPS and no "thief" like class
Yes I agree but it was a minor point for me since I mostly read quest text and skip the voice acting etc. IU put it down to localization done on cheap!Absurd lack of consistency between quest text and voice acting
Worst story presentation in recent memory
Incredibly grating "black spirit quest guide" inspiring very violent feelings
I was playing on GTX970 with max setting. I did have pop-ins but it wasn't excessive.Excessive pop-ins on highest settings
UI needs work and lot of information about all those different systems were presented on the get go which I found bit overwhelming but if you stay with it for a while things do make sense!Ultra busy UI bombarding new players with opaque information
You don't have to use it and given that there is no fast travel in this game, I see why they did it and how I might use it.Press "T" to autowalk to destination - really?
I think the game does have lot of new and interesting systems going for which we don't normally get in WoW like MMOs I have played. This is what has got me interested in this game despite all me agreeing with the points you raised above.That said, I concede that the game MIGHT have a lot of good things about it - if you can get past all that. I never got that far, though.

I love the combat and the seamless open for exploration so for now I am treating it like Skyrim! I am in for $30 so even if I get 100 hours of fun out of it, I will be happy
Tell me, does it have a lot of dungeons like Skyrim? Do you find unique journals and notes lying around.
Please tell me that "exploration" is not about finding yet another forest or hill?
There are no instance dungeons like other MMOs and everything is open world. There are lots of caves, old ruins and stuff to explore like Skyrim. Some of them are huge.
Also exploration is not looking for pretty sight but there are plenty of those around. You can stumble into cave and it might have min story as to what's going on. I have not seen journals and stuff but you can sort of figure out the story by looking around. They have left lot clues around to see what's going on. Sometime you will get NPC in there who will tell you stuff or even give you quest.
Also look into the game's "knowledge" system. This pretty much forces you to go out explore. http://black-desert.com/guides/knowledge/
Hmmm….
Hmmm….
Well, I paid for it - so I'll give it another shot upon release.
But, truly, it screams NOT FOR DART
However, I've been wrong before.
Well I only played about 40 hours in the last closed beta and most of that spent learning about the classes so I only did explore the areas around where you start. Now game companies have know to pre load content around the starting area so take what I say with a grain of salt!
Oh, you will find these 2 links interesting as well

Anyway I thought you will genuinely lap this game up since you used to complain about the WoW gear treadmill and all that stuff
I'll enjoy this if you promise to enjoy ESO
I hear the Korean version has a Ninja. Maybe that's what I need to enjoy this one.
Well you will be surprised! Over the Christmas period, my brother got PS4 and ESO. I bought it on PS4 as well and we are playing it together and I am enjoying it now since we are both on voice reminiscing about what we like with the single player elder scrolls games! Sometimes the company makes all the difference!
Hmmm.
On one hand, the lack of focus in the game is appealing to me. I hate how the genre has devolved into such a state of hand-holding. But, on the other hand, it gives me the vibe that the game will just turn into farming the same area over and over again for different materials for anyone not interested in the PVP aspect. Yes, I know that sounds silly to say considering it's what PvE is more often than not as well I've grown annoyed with the trite grind formula and its various disguises.
What's the release date? All I can find is info on the beta.
Sigh i have to eat my words. This game is a grind. Post lvl 22-23 that is. You need ot grind 3 levels because the next area is lvl 26. Apparently they chose to use the Russian levelling system in stead of the Korean one which takes only 4 hours to get to lvl 50. SO dont buy this game.
Why would you want to rush to 50 anyway? I've been playing for hours on hours and I'm still lvl17. I'm really enjoying running around just doing what the heck I want without feeling the need to rush to max level and do endgame content. I'm so glad there are no dungeons/raids that you need to get done the first week or forever be branded a noob that nobody wants in their raid groups.
I am absolutely stunned by this game so far. It's EVE dressed in medieval and there is just so much to learn and enjoy on the ride.
