SE should do the best they can to create a fun and enjoyable environment for a large global fan base. "I love everything about this game" does not help it grow. Constructive criticism does!
What this game is severely lacking is a reason to adventure in the open world. the game is nothing but fate grinding and instances. FFXI had a million reasons to explore the open world.
