The game is functional. The content offered is hollow, combat is bland, and there's still a metric ton of problems under the hood but at least it more or less works. 2.0 had all the current problems and then some.
Did you play during ARR? There was actually a lot to do back then, the game was new so everything felt fresh. We got 3 dungeons per patch. Got ninja in 2.4. Relics actually kept you busy and tome upgrade items outside of savage you had to farm and roll for in the 24 mans, at least for ST, they made the weekly quest for WoD. Maybe the MSQ wasn't great for ARR but it was serviceable enough back then and everyone was gushing about 2.5 (or was it 2.55, probably that) when that came out. Of course they walked pretty much all of that back immediately in HW but at the time people were excited about it.
