I disagree there AuctionGirl. I actually think negative comments are some of the best when it comes to improving something. Someone telling me that I am doing a good job really doesn't help me with anything, but telling me exactly what they think I am doing wrong is very helpful.

I understand that staying positive can help you enjoy something (I used to have to tell myself to stay positive back when I worked in a warehouse) but this is a game... it should be providing clear enjoyment in exchange for my money, and for a lot of people, it just isn't. While they may be holding back content for a PS3 release, I have to say that holding content seems like a terrible idea given the relatively little content available right now.

I also think that the idea of changing things up really doesn't fly for me. RPGs are generally about improving your character and interacting with the world. I can improve my character by doing levequests, behests, getting new gear, and grinding mobs for EXP. I can interact with the world by completing story quests, sidequests, talking to NPCs, and running around. Of those 8 basic activities, 5 of them have arbitrary caps on when I can do them or how 'repeatable' they are, getting new gear kind of pitters out once you have what you want (it's not like I can grab a group and go run some dungeons for some neat new items), grinding gets old quickly, and running around just lets you notice the copy and paste structure of the world. =/

I know I sound negative and I know this is longer than 99% of people will ever read, but I think your post expresses your opinions clearly and I thought it was worth responding to with my own thoughts.
