Well, to each their own. ouo
As far as "cute or "sexy" outfits go, as long as you have patients, you can craft some pretty awesome armor. I'm pretty sure though, crafting is a
must. There's buyable armor, yes... As far as I could tell. They're a lot easier on the eyes than the beginner armor. Even the NPC's acknowledge that. Lul.
Anywhoozles, I've only played the Evie class in Vidictus. Or rather, I've only spent a large quantity of time on the Evie class.
For every game I've played, you're always going to start out with armor that's either less flashy or, "ugly" compared to the stuff you get in the higher levels.
So, don't worry. Have some patience, they get prettier as you move on. C:
For example:
The Scarlet Witch Set
You get this around level 14-15 or something. I don't remember.
It's a quest for the Evie's. <3
Also... "Real Money". Yes, there is a cash shop. As there is for every F2P MMO out there in the world. Lul. Buuut, as far as I remember, there's nothing in the shops that's absolutely necessary for full free in game experience. All there really is, is underwear, different hairstyles and other extra things like that. No outfits though.
Also, a Battle System is just... How the fights take place in game. Whether it's PVP or PVE. >n>'
I know, I hate PVP too. Lul.
