1.0 and 1.23 had different battle systems. 1.0 cnj had all the elemental magic and thm did not play the same in 1.0 and 1.23. The cutscenes were drastcially better in 1.0, the new team did the GC cutscenes in 1.?? which werent anywhere near as good as the cutscenes from the main scenario, which was made by the old team. I miss not zoning, especially in towns. the battle system in 1.0 was awful but in 1.23 it was actually fun and challenging, ARR feels like you have your hand held and you can mess up a lot with minor consequences, unlike 1.23 were if everyone wasnt doing their best, then you were gonna fail. The graphics had a level of detail thats missing in arr, but arr does have some great looking locations. Gelmorra ruins were awesome in 1.23 and coerthas and mor dhora were MUCH bigger in 1.23. What happened to all those giant lakes in coerthas and those cool rivers with little bridges made from rock, where are the giant bridges with the waterfalls falling down the side? we should at least have frozen versions of those missing coerthas landmarks ...
Still, having a blast in ARR, but I do miss 1.23, it was a great online RPG and its a shame it has such a bad reputation, 1.23 doesnt deserve it.

I found the CS from the grand company missions (made from the new team) as good as the main story CS from the old team

As example a Grand Company mission CS:
