mmmm I would give it a 7/10 will bump that up to a 8.5/10 if they ever get this bot thing crushed (I can deal with RMT, have been since Ultima Online)

Game is fun, and I like the over all story and lore, I do not plan to stick with it as long as I did with FFXI though, once I finish all the story stuff and get at least 2 classes to 50, I will wind down my playing a lot since I have many other games I need to be playing. It is not FFXIVs fault, it is just something I chose to do with MMORPGs in general.
