Now here is a message with truth.

The game could be better and patience is running out amongst some subscribers. Note the article in that, not all subscribers, some.

Difference is some of the subscriber base want it all right damn now whilst others are enjoying themselves enough to have patience that the fixes/additions/changes etc. will come. And they will.

The most important word is patience. Four whole months in. Four months.

Heh! I'm not so sure that I would. I think it might be rather...boring.

Naw, that can't be it. Everybody else must just be wrong.
Unpossible!

You simply must agree with me, there is no other way!

This is absolutely true. Interestingly in this game the "same content" statement is used to disparage playing from one to fifty. In other games it is used to disparage doing raids or level-cap PvP over and over. In both cases it is repeating content, indeed. So pick your re-run! For me, the one to fifty content (different classes) is far more interesting than running the same raid/FP/WZ etc. But that is, of course, my opinion.

If you have played any modern MMO, you will get the "been there, done that with a different skin" feeling really soon.
The lack of population balance and servers going ghost town are just making this more evident.
Perhaps not. I've been at this since MUD days and migrated through most of the MMOs on offer. I find this game to have the potential for longevity because of the content in levels one through fifty. My servers are fine with respect to population. I moved twice to find servers that fit my needs. It will be a very good thing when either merges or transfers occur though.

You never even mentioned Ops. PvP is a matter of opinion. There are lots who enjoy it, I being one of them.

Let's say that you have also seen and done the things I have mentioned. I ask this question to everyone. How are the many FPs and their Hard Mode versions, the 3-4 Ops, any different from the number that any other newly released MMO has? Don't all the content become similar after reaching the level cap? I would really like to know which games offer tons more, so that I may look at them and play them instead.
So you do a FP hard more great its done, you do it nightmare great its done. There is no reason to go back into that FP after the first run. The gear is useless, ontop of that its a horrible grind to get it. There is very little MMO feeling in this game. The voice over is cool, the quests are fun but the overall feel of the game is more of a first person epic alt rolling adventure. The PVP is very WoW orientated, look they even tried to put in a rated system like the Arenas. The gear grind just turned into a gear abortion. Balance changes that made it totally unbalanced. When you are on a pvp server and the most people on a open pvp planet is 3 then there is something wrong with this game. Everyone rerolled fatman just to have some sort of feeling of a full server. Anyway there is nothing else out there right now and nothing to come in the future. Maybe that is the reason why I am so disappointed in this game. We were told this game was going to have a ton to offer, but in the end they fell very short. To much time spent on voice acting, and pretty worlds, not enough time on real game content and overall pvp

Four months of what though? I dont want things right away, I just want the existing stuff fixed. Instead we got a patch with a new stick and a slightly smaller carrot

I love the game but I don't see myself playing long term unless some sandbox elements are added: weather, day/night cycles, epic open world pvp where reps and imps would have to fight over entire zones/bases/cities. These are the kind of things that make me want to come back to a game. I couldn't care less about running dailies and warzones at nauseam eternam.

Of...what? Why, playing the game. I don't know what to say here. I've been playing the game, nearly daily for four months and enjoying myself mightily (otherwise I wouldn't be playing it!).

Fixes are not always as easy as it might seem. And MMOs will ALWAYS require "fixes". They are a work in progress which is one of the things I most like about MMOs. Not that things break, that can be annoying but that there is always something upcoming.
