switch-blade 

n., A knife with a blade that can be deployed by depressing a button, switch, or hidden mechanism. Switch-blade knives
vary in design; some deploy the blade in a linear fashion from the handle ("out the front") while others swing a blade
out in an arc from the side of the knife handle ("side opener").

Switch-blade or "automatic" knives vary
in legality from region to region. Gang
use of such knives in the American 1950s
prompted bans on such knives in several states that remain in force today.

Switch-blade knives are illegal in some
nations, such as Canada.

The term "automatic knife" has replaced
"switch-blade" in some knife collector
circles when describing modern designs.

Also "switchblade".
He drew a switch-blade knife from his pocket, and it snapped open with a report.

Blade and Soul 

Also known by acronyms like BnS or B&S, it's a martial arts-themed MMORPG by Korean company NCSoft. It features good graphics, an amazing character creator (where you could make almost any character you want), and you could even glide/fly. There are also nice references throughout to other works such as references to Lovecraft, Raymond Chandler, Milton, G.R.R. Martin and "The Dark Knight", if one likes spotting those. BnS uses a fun action-combat system that uses crosshairs to aim, which makes combat interesting.

But since NCSoft is an incompetent company, BnS suffers as a result. Some of the things that they've done include:

-Adding gear upgrade materials into the cash shop.

-Nerfing daily quest and dungeon rewards to make players do the new content, which largely had the opposite effect and stalled gear upgrading.

-Removing optional (blue) and daily quests from some areas, which made the world seem more lifeless.

-Nerfing rewards from events and making events less appealing.

-Trying ways to make people buy stuff from the cash shop.

-One needs an absurd amount of materials to upgrade gear. It turns it into a boring, dead grind, not a fun, interesting one.

And the community is almost as toxic as Black Desert Online. There are your usual neckbeards, edgelords and weeaboos, but there are also many elitists who refuse to party up with you for dungeons since they have high attack/weapon preferences and act like rich oligarchs.
Person A: Have you played Blade and Soul?

Person B: Yes, it has good graphics and fun combat. But the increasing p2w, incompetence and boring gear grind were terrible. The community is also very toxic and is full of elitists.
