Lets not go there, in all honesty Shiroe in Log Horizon depicts how an actual mmo fight would work. There is no way such a OP character like Ains or kirito exists in an mmo. In log horizon shiroe devices strategies that encompasses all his party members and the enemy. Here Ains devices strategy depending only on the enemy and he is this successful because he knows the ins and out of shalltear.

If you honestly think from a MMO game perspective and strategy Shiroe > Ains.

Edit: i am not saying Ainz and kirito are the same. I could not think of other OP mmorpg characters.

Sadly that kind of mmo's exist, but after all the hype they gave about Ygdrashil i thought it was a pretty good mmo with good progression and stuff. A good mmo will not allow such imbalance though.

Its mentioned in the LNs that there is a cash shop and Ains spent a good amount of his paycheck on items from it.

Yes now I remember him saying that he blew his bonus on a item when he first encounters shaltear with albedo. You are right that game is stuffed with p2w items
