The crafting system is horrible, the leveling system has always been extreme, (it went from extremely time consuming to extremely fast), the jobs aren't correctly balanced, endgame is virtually non existent, and there is no real PVP or option to PVP someone like there is in every free to play and pay to play game out there right now. No, what they need to do is either revamp and make relevant all the old content to breathe new life into the game, or they just need to kill it outright
