So far, I've ignored the player shops.
I'm having a fine time casually leveling and upgrading my gear on my own.
In my experience, "pay to win" usually applies to later in a game, and I haven't gotten past level 13 yet, so I don't know how "bad" it'll be later on.
But I don't need to buy anything from anybody. I seem to be doing just fine on my own, and having a right enjoyable time.
Yes, scantily clad buxom women = fanservice. I'm a freaking grandmother and guess what? I'm over it.
If that's your big issue with the game, then don't play it. You don't need to justify the fact that it offends your sensibilities or morals; just don't play.
I don't play survival horror first-person-shooters because I don't care for that sort of thing. But I'm not going to go on a forum and complain that the game is full or gore or blood. I'll just avoid it if I don't like it.
But Kuro is right; if a player wants to play a 3D MMO specifically because they want to look at boobies, then they'll play Scarlet Blade, a game about which there is no doubt that prurience was the guiding design factor.
Our question is this: Are you offering your critique of the game because you hope that the developers might listen and take the feedback sincerely, and eventually improve the game? Or are you just complaining about a game which you have already decided not to like, but which you don't want to let go of?
