1) no
2) rewards are not worth my time or gold. all the new gear except arcane armor (btw its a p2w item, non-farmable) is worse than what I already have. all the new pets are worse than ones I already have. I'm at 29k pts in mauso and dont see any reason to get more.
3) no, im not enjoying the game since cryostar expansion. Literally no progress in anything.
