The word in New World is that it's a mobile game dressed up as something you'd play on a console/PC. Not sure if that's accurate or just hate.

Frankly, I don't recommend this, I would have dropped it already if not for an RL friend who wants to give it a go.  I've put 20hours in, and my thoughts are :

Killing trash is TOTAL a waste of time. XP rewards from trash are 1-3, quests are >1000.  Their loot drops aren't worth it either, as the loot from quests / dungeons / treasure maps comes in fast enough that your best bet to level is to ignore combat as much as possible.

Quests are typically completed by riding from A-B, talking to an NPC, then talking to it again at B, to get a turn in at C (etc.)

Controls are weird as fuck.
Systems exist for the sake of existing.
Currency exists for the sake of existing.
Combat is basically cycling through  your 5 skills, saving your ult and dodge for when needed (never in the first 20h)
You are locked into your chosen class / specialist build choice, but can freely respec within it as much as you like (not sure if that stops at a certain level).

Haven't looked into crafting yet, just working through the story with an RL friend. 

If you want to run a linear path, spam G to skip through dialogue and get xp, this is the game for  you.
  

So you want to know about an exploit?
PM Epoch For Details. Or, in case you don't already know, OnePercenter controls the Exploits Board. Lastly, if you're truly desperate, Vendui Tells Everyone

My biggest gripe is the fucking arpg point n click controls......1 to 50 is one long easy tutorial.  I am giving it a go with a controller but I dont see myself playing this for long.
