Kinda funny how many haters have 1 lvl 50, let's look at the facts, you have spammed AK and CM to get Darklight, beaten all primals at least once for relic, and that seems to be about it, why don't you do what you're supposed to do in games, have fun, if you're tired of CM and AK, go to coil, think outside the box, find a group for the other dungeons, Wanderer's palace, Cutter's Cry, Aurum Vale and all the other ones (admittedly most not lvl 50) that people ignore because you can't "get uber gearz from" or hell even just level some more classes, have a go at crafting or gathering, try to experience more than 1% of the game before you start complaining there's no content.
Thing is, you're much more likely to get a person creating a thread about why they hate the game than you are to get one about why someone loves the game. Why? No idea. Maybe because it would be a pointless thread which is better served as a blog since most threads aren't even open for a discussion after OP post.
We have people telling others that they are wrong and are lying that they like the game and can see themselves playing it for years. I didn't start posting on here until recently and I have to say that it's a cesspit, but it hasn't taken any enjoyment away from the actual game. When you're actually in game you don't hear /sh "omg this game is so boring! It copies x,y and z!". If there were those /sh then the community at large would probably just ignore/blist them.
tl;dr
The forums aren't necessarily an indication of the health of a game. It's such a small pool to pick from.
I guess I messed up when I started playing the game... I was too busy enjoying it, I didn't realize we were supposed to rush through the game and then whine and cry about not having anything to do... I was under the impression that we were supposed to relax enjoy the game and then by time we get to the end then they would be releasing further content to keep my experience going...
Most people here complaining never played WoW Vanilla. It was horrible back in the days on release. Low content, Massive bugs, lags and way more. Look what it is now. MMO take years to polish
This is pretty much the impression I'm getting from the OP of this thread:

There are a lot of people ITT still claiming the game would pull the plug before going f2p.
Your information is a little outdated.Quote:
"We stuck with subscriptions because we wanted a stable amount of money to pay developers to develop patches on time. We didn't want to get into a situation where we couldn't afford to make a patch," he continued. "As a producer, I of course will be watching how the money flows and will evaluate the situation. If we had to change to a free to play model, we would probably offer a hybrid model with free to play servers and subscriptions servers, but it's not something we have planned right now."
