PvP is...fun, kind of.
Getting chain CC'd is a fucking bitch and can make it not fun. It is a fun diversion, but probably not a selling point for the game.
Is there a good site with a breakdown of the different classes? I must be retarded because I can't find stuff on the official site.

I've heard you need to either be a "Founder" or have bought some Zen to start a guild. Not sure if that's true or not.

I'm enjoying this quite a bit. Any idea how difficult the grind for things is w/o cash shop end game?

I don't think it will be so bad, but it depends on what you want to buy from the cash shop. The current going rate is ~500 Astral Diamonds per 1 Zen. I think you get 1000 Zen for each of the daily Skirmish, Dungeon, and PvP quests, so doing only those will net you around 6 Zen per day which is pretty slow, however you can probably make a lot of Zen buying and selling from the AH which would net you a LOT more Astral Diamonds then doing your Daily quests and hourly Invocations.
Most of the gear you'll get end game will be purchased with tokens you get from defeating bosses in dungeons anyway, so all you'll need the cash shop for is the convenience/vanity items that you want, so that's why I don't think the Zen grind will be very bad.

I like this better than Age of Wushu, f2p game that came out recently.
The animations are my biggest complaint. Mobs that chase you the whole zone are also annoying.
It's surprisingly fun atm, I can't say I'll be playing it in 6 months though.
To test out the crafting, before going to bed I set my crafting up to do a 6 hour task, when I logged on again t was finished, that was nice to see.

CC isn't like wow CC, it's more like short stuns and knockbacks and shit. So no one actually breaks your shit regardless of what they're doing. I've been playing a CW and it's pretty fun, assuming the mob isn't immune, you can rotate all your CC and more or less perma stun a mob(only one though). It also does pretty good damage, and the black hole daily thing is pretty awesome for large pulls, just cast it in the middle everything gets pulled in one neat stack then stunned for 2-3secs. Tons of knockbacks you want to unslot for groups though, unless you're an asshole, as knockbacking shit around is annoying for everyone else, but if you do want to be an asshole, it's by far the best class with multiple aoe knockbacks. Those are good for soloing however.
Damage wise it's apparently very good, at least I've been topping damage meters every dungeon/skirmirsh I've done but the very first low level one. While I don't doubt other people might be retarded, I haven't even gotten the big damage feats yet which should boost my damage quite a lot(one of them is +30% dmg on your At-Wills which on magic missiles means a fuckton of dmg).
Overall game is alright but the F2P system is really fucking greedy. Yes you get bags from quests but they come slow and while early on it's fine once you start looting all the enchantments nonsense it's fucking crazy how fast you fill up your bags. At 30 I only have 2 bags, one decent size you get at like lvl 10 from a quest and 2nd one I just got at lvl 30 and it's smaller. I've had to discard a few items in the last few levels due to being full. Then you have shit like companions which either requires 150years of grind, basic ones which can't be upgraded yet(wtf?) or obviously cash. Same for mounts, you need fucking 800k astral points to upgrade to tier 2 mount, maybe there's a way to get more points per day but atm I'm getting like 10k a day. Even if I was getting more, you can only refine 24k a day, so you need a month refining astrals to the cap everyday to afford the upgrade. The tier3 mount is like 2millions iirc.
So basically, it's F2P but you have shit mount, shit bags and shit companions. Also crafting is slow as fuck if you don't throw real money at it, in which case it's fast as hell I guess. I really liked the GW2 system a lot more, pay a box, then have cash shop that's not actually vital to playing. Also the converting rate in GW2 between ingame currencies and real money currency was A FUCK TON better. It's 500astrals for 1zen, 500-1000zen for anything and as I said it's like 10k astrals a day. In GW2 I had enough to buy 2 bank slots in like 3-4days of playing, and I never needed anything else, bags were crafted ingame(could buy bag slot but useless), you had more than 2 character slots, you actually had a bank that looked like a bank etc.
