Been playing for 3 days now level15 FIRST TIMER!

Hello after i had 600h on Arc Raiders i wanted something new i played DF Operations through the weekend got like 30hours on it...got somehow "Bored" because wanted something diffrent then i found ABI....

Well i feel like there i not enough players on the map or is it just me?
Im loving the game...But is it pay to win?
Or can i spend 400-600h in this game and get the rush i had in Arc Raiders in the start and through the first half year?
Like in arc raiders the more your learned and played the more fun it got....

and does people use proximity chat?
