I do find myself longing for certain aspects of 1.0 ...
The foundation of ARR is better though, obviously, the game just hasn't really captured me yet,
but no current gen MMO has, and no past one either save FFXI.
Being that i've had my fill of XI though for the most part, i'm happy riding this game out and seeing where it goes.

I'm thinking, like most successful MMOs, it'll take a good 3 years before the game really shines.
