This is so true. I would love it more if the p2w system is not that blatant. Anyway, it depends on the player's preference on which way they want to go, pve or pvp.I guess since you are interested in the new race, then it means that the game for you is still worth playing. But all of us still needs to cope up with all the changes in comparison to what has been presented to us since it was launched. Kind of annoying but still enjoyable (for me).
This game is screwed no matter where you turn. PvP is all P2W, and classes are horribly imbalanced. Templars are the dominant class like they've been since 2008.
When it comes to farming, there's no use. Nobody buys armor parts, and especially weapon parts because of the new upgrades. There's no reason to spend weeks farming a few hundred million crone, when people are selling billions of crones from the Phillipines at less than 1k RPS.
You're either going to spend the entirety of your in-game time farming for chump change, or spend hundreds of USD to be decent in a crappy pvp experience. (Spending hundreds of dollars on a Templar just to play whack-a-mole).
So if you ask me, NO. This game is definitely NOT worth getting back into, even if you were the richest person in the world.
Actually the Trinity Noirs are starting to make the templars look like chumps.
There is nothing noble about being superior to others. True nobility is gained by becoming superior to one's former self.

It will take a few months of experimenting with stats and builds to find out what the best combination is for these classes in pve or pvp situations. They are just a little too new to make any kind of educated recommendation on them yet.
At the moment the Rumir & Noir classes appear almost a parallel to the Priest & Templar classes. Both of the trinity classes seem to have skills wired to use str and psy. Rumirs lean more to the psy (skills) side of things while Noirs are more str (melee) dependent. Both classes can use both stats, just how you balance them are where you see differences in usages.
For Noirs, anything that boosts melee and attack speed is a major plus. Also get your HP up over 100k cause you are gonna get 1/2-shotted really fast if your shields runs out (20 miserable seconds? Gimme a break!). Beyond that I think all of us rolling one of these will have fun of experimenting with all the different build & gearing possibilities.
