Very much a pay to play with very little care about banning bots that ruin the game for others. Every update makes it just a little worse but occasionally a good update will appear. I've been playing since the first covid shutdown and have been looking for a better game that explains how to play as well as this one without needing to fully focus on it. If you just need something to do without much brain power this is the game (always level up your gear if you get stuck)
