The game's optimization has significantly improved, particularly in its economy, allowing players to acquire competitive gear in a more reasonable timeframe. However, some players feel that real-life skills of experienced players do not translate into in-game performance, as success is primarily determined by the stats of their equipment rather than their skill level.
