Definitely sitting at a 8/10. I love this game, I love the world and near to everything in it. I even love the various cameos; beyond excited to fight Cloud of Darkness in the Crystal Tower. This is the first Hotkey MMO I have really, truly enjoyed and I would go as far as to say I am having way more fun with it than I expected too. I do have issues with the game, but they're mostly minor and nitpicky things which I have come to realize are basically "I wish it was more like XI". The lack of a challenge or any party dynamic in the open world part of the game removes some of the thrill for me, and up until the late 40s the game has no challenge at all, especially if you're playing with a premade group instead of a pug. When I found out you couldn't have a party for GRAND COMPANY LEVES, which is the most party sounding thing, I flipped and ranted about it to friends. You also can't party for several story or class fights!

Gimme RDM and i'll kick it up to 10/10 tho
