Perfect World International. Pros and cons

I know, that lot of you've been playing this game a very long time. Here is thread, where you can see and even discuss pros and cons of the PWI. I hope, that it can be interesting for new players and might be reviewed by veteran players.

You can see following words on the title page of the PWI:

PWI is a stunning free-to-play MMORPG where inhabitants of the pristine Perfect World must unite to battle against the Wraith - undead creatures who seek to destroy all of creation. Amidst a realm of stunningly rich environments, players can fly freely through the skies, explore dangerous dungeons, or join intense PvP battles for power and land.

But what you see really ? Since every man to his trade, then I had divided possible opinions for Free-to-play players and Pay-to-play players.

Free-to-play player
Pros
+You can download the game for free
+ Decent graphics, detailed character customization, a huge world and movement freedom
+Many quests
+Free armor and equipment (basic or some of it)
+Availability of basic skills
+Chat system (excluding posting in the world chat) is free to use
+Ability to exchange basic items and services (like help for fast leveling, reselling items through cat shops, etc.) for cash shop items (better than basic)
+Ability to join some faction (since it is MMO and some quests can't be completed solo)
+Multi-client and run two chars at once on the game allowing them to solo certain instances
+Frequent updates

Cons
-Size of the PWI files during 11 years of its existence had increased from the half of GB to 16 GB (it is 32 times more now), so downloading and updating is much slower now
-Repeatable quests and models of the mobs
-After few beginning quests goal of the game itself is missing. Do you know, why players kill same mobs again and again ?
-Exploits, bugs, glitches
-PWI is PvP game, so some high-level quests and events require best armor and equipment to survive PvP fights
-Some quests require squads, which can be hard to gather (it is time consuming and sometimes require application of the world chat services)
-Since PWI is MMO game, then it require connection to server, which (connection) can cause decreased performance of the game or even disconnections
-Through gamble on packs, refining chances and chances of creating of some items player can lose his money
-Some quests can't be completed, because player has not enough resources for it
-Disbalance of the classes

Pay-to-play player
Pros
+Detailed character customization, a huge world and movement freedom
+Many quests
+All items and quests are available (including PvP oriented). Fashion, wings, dyes, etc. can be bought
+All skills are available
+Chat system is available
+Ability to exchange cash shop items for services and items of other players
+Ability to join any faction (since it is MMO and some quests can't be completed solo)
+Ability to join or form any squad
+Frequent updates
+Bonus items as rewards for bought gold

Cons
-The graphics should be comparable if not better than the newer games that are coming out in 2020. PWI has flat grass, 2D trees, no footprints in the snow, no horizon, no weather elements, zero survival tactics as well as crappy flat faced characters that never show emotion or even break a sweat when fighting
-Repeatable quests and models of the mobs
-After few beginning quests goal of the game itself is missing. Do you know, why players kill same mobs again and again ?
-Auto-botting, exploits, bugs
-Some items are very expensive
-Since PWI is MMO game, then it require connection to server, which (connection) can cause decreased performance of the game or even disconnections
-Through gamble on packs, refining chances and chances of creating of some items player can lose some if not all of his money
-Some quests require squads, which can be hard to gather (it is time consuming)
