PS.: You can level up to 80 for free, but the free version has restrictions. I bought the game when I was around lvl 30 when I realize the game were stable enough on wine.

I'm normally on almost everyday, if you want to add me: linuxgamer.3067 and ArmoredVehicle.2849 (2 accounts)
Also if you wish, you can have a shot at my settings:
For the best performance possible under an Nvidia card you'll want to use Wine-Staging 2.0, anything from 2.1 upwards is a massive performance loss, sometimes even by as much as 15-20fps.
Launching game with '-dx9single' gives a performance boost.
These are my settings ingame, they provide a good balance between good visuals and good fps:

As for your Wine prefix registry:

This setup for me has worked very smoothly even on my 6 year old i5-2400 CPU :-)

I'm curious about this bad performance on wine-staging > 2.1, didn't know about that. I started playing using the 2.10 and now I'm using the 2.12. My bottleneck in this game is my CPU that is still a dual core, so I lag in big boss fights and big cities.
Do you have any link about why newer versions of wine has this degrading performance?
About the tips, I use them, -dx9single realy makes a difference.

No idea unfortunately, I haven't looked much into it either tbh. I tested each release regularly since 2.1 and they all behave the same, strangely enough this game is affected as I played other games on Wine.

Was curios in trying this out since it does not have a subscription model like wow.
Does it have enough PVE content to keep you engaged ?
Or do you mostly play PVP ?

It has PVP, but the PVE mode is where it shines IMHO. In fact, I think the PVP is just a minor part of the game, since most of the players do the contents of PVE.
PVE has loads of contents, big maps that interconnected by portals form a huge world with a variety of beautiful and creepy landscapes and creatures.
There are lots of minor and medium "live" events that happens while you are exploring, and you can chose to join other players on the fight/quest or just move on in your lonely journey. Those involve bosses (veterans, champions, legendaries, etc), escorting, collecting, etc . Besides, some maps have what is called "Meta" events that occur every 2 hours or so. Those events generaly require the involvement of majority of the current population of the instance in a mega quest/battle with massive loot and rewards.
There is also the WvW (world vs world) game mode. I didn't play this much, but it is more likely a strategic battle involving capturing points and dominating the map, where players from one server face players from another server.
I got completely overwhelmed on the start. But I'm having lots on fun playing it. Worth note that on the start yo chose which server you want to be part of, and players from US servers can't join EU server's players.
Unfortunately Avehicle7887 play on EU server, and I play on US =(
In sumary, I highly recommend the game if you don't mind using wine. I assure you we don't have nothing like that native, not even close. Maybe SoTA can fill in the gap on not so near future.

As a game it's very much worth your money and runs great on Wine, fps is modest but no crashes or graphic issues. Sometimes I go as far as 10 hours straight on a weekend day and the game still runs fine.
Content wise you'll find lots to do, and it does feel overwhelming at first. Even F2P accounts have so much to do without paying a cent. Highly recommend it.

Thank you for the elaborate reply :)
I am a bit confused as to what game to buy on their site but I think one is just an expansion.
Do you use Wine or POL ?
Had POL behave a bit wildly lately failing to create prefixes (with Fallout2 for example)
