While it hurts to respond to someone who uses the phrase umadbro non-satirically as I can feel my IQ lowering with each passing letter...

Its better in some aspects but I think some of it also feels watered down or flat out Ruined. I personally hate the Copy>Paste Linear gear progression every MMO does now, and I've got no taste for a large open world to explore with jack sh*t all reason to explore it... At least in 1.0 they had NMs, even if they were on small cooldowns.

Games better I think, but, Its still lost a lot in the rebuild... I know I'm not alone but I doubt I'm in the majority, I just really hate how every MMO released seems to be a Copy>paste in every field because they gotta make it accessible for the lowest common denominator. Not all of you fall into this category and liking this game doesn't mean you fall into it either, its just annoying that everytime i get excited about an MMO It burns out in a month because it feels like I'm just playing the last MMO with a new name.

I guess why i stuck by FFXI so long was because it was so different in a lot of ways. I mean it borrowed some ideas but I liked that armor wasn't linear. Even if "Max builds" were there, thats always going to exist in a game, at least I had acceptable options even if it wasn't best tier. In this game its very cut and dry, You either have Above (I.lv X) or you suck. In FFXI just using THF alone as an example there were several gearsets within a few DPS of eachother I could work on, some easier than others... But If i was missing a handful of armor it didn't immediately make me a liability in endgame like this game does.
