Hello 
So, i have been working on info about which mmo's are most balanced ones, pvp-wise ,so its fair enough to find out are there any, and which mmorpg players thing have the greatest possibility of becoming much more powerfull than average players, or most players in that mmo.
Whats top dog, most OP, most unbalanced, mmo for laughably strong gear or skill difference alike?

Yeah, i kinda know someone will drop the "Archeage" hammer
Heck ,seen a dude fight off like about dozen players by himself, but thats easy, most ppl know that.Gimme something new 
For what i remmember in RF Online as Accretian tank, when i was officer of faction, paid with ingame cash to upgrade my gear via cash shop by the faction leader himself, and in faction wars next days, and i kid you not, i just jumped around with about 20-40 players attacking me from range and all i saw instead od damage recieved was crapload of "Blocked" spam, could solo tank world bosses too, loads of fun.
Also in one game Forsaken World, for some time, bards were ridiculous, like they had the damage of sorcerer, heal of the priest, and speed of a ranger, could see dudes in open world trolling in pvp all-about, wasnt balanced but pretty fun to watch.
There any mmo in which u get to be very OP, but like, not with the cash factor but also solely by your own effort?

After 4 months of hard work to get better, and with a raise in the level cap, we went back into PvP and 18 of us at the new level cap of 90 could not scratch, much less kill, an opposing tank. After some calculations by several of our guild members, we realized it would take spending about $700-$1200 real world dollars each (!) to get enough improvements just to get in the same tier as that tank. Same tier, meaning 4-6 of us might be able to kill him.
Talk about pay to win! Right after we did those calculations, most of us quit the game and started playing ESO.
The world is going to the dogs, which is just how I planned it!
Yeah but still its not isolated case, i myself think bards/vampires in Forsaken World were toughest shells since they could heal indefinitelly, had speed and high damage.
I remmember one particular vamp, which all he needed to do on start of arena was to go to the middle and cast one single aoe spell, everyone's hp would melt in few seconds, people would stay afk in respawn when they saw him on opposing team.
Still acquiring funds to become at least nearly as powerfull as them in that, peak time was possible without p2w, but in time cash shop items rose in gold price drastically and things changed.

It boggles my mind that people even play games in which people can quite literally P2W. I just don't know why people bother.

They might be too cheap to play subscription or freemium games so they end up playing cash shop games.
And almost all the cash shop games are p2w
MSI GE70 - i7-4700MQ, GeForce GT 750M, 8gb ram, 750gb 7200RPM HDD and 128gb SSD
The cash shop was insanely expensive, there was a RL family that became famous for spending in the thousands per week, and you know what? They were never able to catch the number one guy, simply because he had a big head start and a solid guild backing him up. This guild would win everything, and the rewards for the weekly PVP tourney were huge. The family ended up quitting in disgrace with nothing but broken dreams and empty pockets to show for it.
I somehow became obsessed with winning this tournament on one of the lower tiers, so I kept my character low level by losing exp on purpose and chased that goal for at least a year with all the people I had met thinking I was crazy as fuck. I eventually won it though, a few times, and became semi-famous for doing so. I put a lot of work into it, never spent a dime, but in the end I got help from some good friends with better pets (you could reset the level on pets when evolving them, allowing them to be used for awhile in the lower tourneys). It also required that the usual OP guy who won every week didn't show up LOL But it all worked out eventually and I got to chill in town with a cool circle of light around me for the whole week each time, causing people to crowd around and ask "WTFF who's alt is this!!". Good times.
May be because some has money, and they want to pay for quick wins?
I don't pay in f2p games .. but hey, if there are no whales, there are no f2p games.
Looking forward to: Crowfall / Lost Ark / Black Desert Mobile
Actually I always pay for premium membership when it is available. FW does not have such an option. I was just randomly looking for a new game to play after CoH closed down. I always play F2P games to see if I like them, and start subscribing if I do. Assuming they give you such an option. My problem is that I made some really good friends, friends that I am still gaming with, and we tried to play the game as it was presented, but finally after a year had to admit there was no way to get anywhere near the top tier without spending ridiculous money. So we quit.

I asked a few of them why they play the game. Some of them just say they don't want to pay real money.
Some spent huge amount of time in games like D3 too (anyone who is on the ladder would have spent huge amount of time) but they probably find running random dungeons again and again fun, because of the combat.
Personally, i can do may be 1-3 weeks of the new combat after a patch (the meta always change) before I got sick of it. But hey .. 1-3 weeks of free (since the game is already paid for) fun every 3-4 months is a pretty good deal.
I am sure i will eventually be sick of the game .. but i did get a lot of enjoyment out of the grind (otherwise i won't be spending even 5 min in a game).
Related to GW2 tho, i would like to scorn their ways of messing up with f2p players tho, one of the reasons people quit the game soon as they installed to try it.
Even though you should be able to whisper people if you are f2p every new person every minute (trust me i tried, it bugs out, saying you need to wait 20sec for any whisp) had conversation something like this last i played:
-random dude: "Hello, how long do you think untill boss spawns please?"
--I try to respond but it throws the "you can not whisper players" in my face along with pop-ups to buy the game
-random dude: "Why do you not respond? Whats up?"
-- Im jumping and trying to run away from him since i can not respond, maybe he will ask someone else
random dude: "You piece of **** What is wrong with people, why is everyone being an ass**** Wtf **** ** *****" and so on
Arenanet does not have the slightest idea of how to make a good f2p game, opposed to let us say
Enmasse Tera NA who just nailed it, best F2p MMORPG of all time hands down.
Games like Archeage, Aion, Perfect&Forsaken World etc etc
are filled mostly by grinders who spend months upon months to maybe never reach p2w players.
And i mean like hundreds of thousands of grinders. Yeah, people are bored, but mostly masochistic
Only way for a non-P2W player to compete in PvP is to play a class that has healing abilities (SpiritShaper or Occultist) and focus on healing the whales on your team so they can beat out the whales on the other team.

Players buy GEMS and turn them into GOLD to gear up and claim an advantage.

Their monetization is legendary to the point their actions are known by non-gamers. Their legendary status came from the fact that while some companies are cute and enter litigation in court rooms, both of these companies have caused legislative branches in different nations to work on making laws protecting citizens from their actions.

I do not recommend anyone tries PvP without either properly playing the whole PvE game fully for a considerable amount of time or, of course, dropping a ton of cash on the game so there's no point playing it anymore so they can uninstall it. It's completely achievable without paying, just for the record.. but you can pay to win if you wanted to.
This also translates into the PvE game, where you can get so powerful that you can just obliterate all the enemies anywhere in the game. I say Neverwinter is the Diablo of MMOs.. you constantly get more powerful until everything is trivial. Smash, smash, loot, loot.
Now that i think about FFXI has an elixir or potion,haven't played in awhile can't remember but basically puts you in god mode for a short time.I try not to remember anything i feel should not be in a game.
Even still you are only as overpowered as the next guy that is competing for that same power level.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
RPG is a genre now defined by the inclusion of progression systems which also includes statistical virtual items. It doesn't make much literal sense, just like saying something is 'sick' doesn't literally mean it's good.. but it still means it's good, unless you are actually pointing at some sick and calling it sick. That's when saying sick literally means sick. You could also have slipped on some sick and said "Ooooh noooo, I just slipped on some sick". It can get confusing if you walked out of a club saying "That was sick!" and a girl was just sick against the wall outside. It may be unclear whether or not you were talking about the girl being sick or saying that the club was sick. You could also have been saying that the girl being sick was good! It's a hard life when something like that happens but we get through it.
I suggest you put your Dungeons & Dragons rulebooks and medieval reenactment props away when you plan to use or go near any kind of computer or video game system in the future so you don't get confused or upset by this anymore.
Looking forward to your next comment wherever it may be!
