To be fair, this is one of those situations where perception overshadows reality. To someone who played 1.0, it may feel like all ARR did was dismantle it, and success is long overdue. The majority of players now are fresh; they did not play 1.0 (that includes me). Not only was ARR marketed as a new (or so revised that it may as well be new) game, to many of us, it is a new game - whether or not it's unique compared to other MMOs is a different issue.

So again, as much as you 1.0ers hate hearing this, I think we should give ARR the benefit of the doubt for at least another patch. SE has pretty much used up their one and only excuse/chance on 2.1 with CT not being ready for launch and housing being a flop.
