Geez...
It's never ending...prejudgments...and complaints.
You all ask for transparency, the team gives it to you in spades revealing excruciating detail about all the lil changes...there's nothing even left to explore and figure out on your own. Might as well be a strategy guide the detail people want.
Then you all complain about it and you haven't even played it. So you got some choices to make...gee you can't have absolutely everything. Woe is me...I can't have his gear blah blah blah.
Good lord he's going to get an item before me...the world is going to end...no I must have everything before x, y, and z person. Like serious? Get off your high horse already.
It's a GAME!!!! and an adventure. Some peoples will find things more simple then others. Some classes benefit in certain areas vs other classes...and your adventures will yield different results and stories to share.
I mean seriously consider playing a solo RPG if you gonna whine about having to make some choices that will affect your overall experience in an open world MMO.

As for the patch notes, the details are awful. Bad translations & Endless mistakes.
The following needs clarification, and i believe its a fair ask:
- How much is the drop rate difference between GC?
- How is MP recovered in passive mode? They say as long as you are standing still even when engaged you will recover, but if you are increasing enmity then you do not recover. Does this effect Debuffs? Dots?
I could go on with the multitudinous of questions in regards to this patch.
Given the gravity of the patch, a lot of players are left with questions that have been unanswered for quite some time. I understand that the dev's are busy and are working very hard, but for you to mock other players for asking fair questions is retarded. The forums are here for insight after all. -

I think if you going to play this game more casual on a solo basis your adventuring and your game is going to be a little different then someone who is going to playing it a lot. And to be honest I have spent a fair amount of my play time soloing...I don't play every day. Sometimes I just come on to chat with my LS. I haven't had problems finding a group to do stuff with if I asked around. Leveling has been a joke for the most part...If I make a complaint it's gonna be that it's too easy to level up. Gear hasn't been an issue. Those that are super hard core get in their groups and get their goods then they help out their LS and friends get stuff. It's an MMO experiences vary for everyone.
Gear drops gee...I have more and better gear then some hardcore players. My servers kinda dead these days too. So if you gonna say casual players don't get what they want or are at a disadvantage I'll have to somewhat disagree. There is a reality also that this is an MMO and solo players do have to join forces with others to accomplish certain things.
Can't we have any mystery in this game to figure out some things for ourselves? For instance sharing all the recipes like they did because people complain otherwise just ruined it for a huge segment of crafters that want a little mystery in their craft and feel a sense of achievement. -

And this is why I hope they never release patch notes early again lol.
+1 to OP -

Eh, don't sweat over the small stuff (elitists are a small percentage of players ;) )
I do agree though I hope once the game gets rolling they slow down on the reveal of the goodies (that's for the .dat miners to figure out!) I feel now though SE has to do this to appease our appetite since the content is a slow roll because they are fixing the game. -

I agree that leveling is too easy. I casually leveled my way to 50 in a few weeks multiple times with little to no sense of accomplishment.
I would like the game to be harder, but not penalising because i chose to go with a less popular GC. -

Equally beneficial for group and solo doesn't mean equal. If I'm play soloing and the game is as enjoyable as if I had the opportunity to play with a group I would say there's beneficial equality there. If SE only made group content and left a solo player with nothing to do then the game is not benefiting both segments. A solo player may never get all the things a hard core or group player can get but is enjoying the game in their own way. If the soloist got high enough as a solo playerand had time one day to form a group and get me some of the more exotic stuff then the game is balanced and working as intended. Equally beneficial does not mean equal everything. And I'm realistic as a gamer to understand if I never group up I may never get that uber item.
