Worth picking up the game again?

Heya, ever since they announced this game, I was really hyped for it. I joined the closed technical test/alpha & beta tests. However, at launch, the game was unfortunately in a bad state due to the P2W aspect which sadly cost it a lot of its playerbase (including me) back then.

I was wondering what the current state of the game is (both in terms of balance & player base) and if it's worth investing time into it again. My main concern would be that the active player base doesn't contain new(er) players to the game, making it hard to pick up & learn the game.

Anyone that could give me some insight?

Thanks a lot already!
