I can no longer seriously recommend the game for purely it's story and when that leaves the rest of the game to sell itself well that is a hard sell at the moment with balancing issue galore and a lack of usually grind-able for casuals content like the relic/PoTD. I also heard the reaction of said friends as I explained my case in not recommending a return to EW and them starting to see 6.0 was not as meticulous as they had thought once plot holes are noted. I do hope the slowness of the patch content starts to get moving a little in 6.3 and the plot start to have any sense of urgency.
On the flip side, other people (such as myself) would 100% recommend the game on the story alone, and with the changes they've made to make solo-play a more viable option alongside typical MMO grouping, I can even recommend it to more people who love FF and RPG storylines but aren't necessarily big into MMO's. I'm not sure what's meant by the "slowness of the patch content"...the pacing of the patches is within a couple weeks of the norm, and for people like me who only have limited time to play, there's always something and more to do.
