The biggest flaw with the game is that the final of the game's four acts is very tedious and grindy. That's why the microtransactions were such a big issue, because people mistakenly believed you had to purchase them to make the final act less grindy. It likely didn't make much of a difference.

It made no difference, namely because the biggest reason to use the marketplace, new orcs, was undone by the total meat grinder that is the Shadow Wars. Captains are coming and going by the truckload by that point so there's just as little reason to buy orcs as there is to spend time strengthening the ones you start with, because they'll all be dead and replaced with whatever mooks you branded in the last siege.

I think it was intended to grant single players the experience of doing online sieges, but like you said it's just long and boring and makes you just want to YouTube the ending because it's not like there's even a final boss to work up to.

But anyway yeah I loved War. In Mordor you were basically Batman with mind control powers, but in War, after a certain few upgrades and weapon/armor perks, you become a force of nature.
