My problem is that the UI was SO bad in 1.0, that it got in the way of my gameplay! I felt I was very patient with the game, then after spending 15-20 minutes on figuring out how to repair a ring, I was like, "what am I doing still trying to play this game?!" I didn't feel "accomplished," I just felt like I wasted my time, when there's far easier and enjoyable and quicker ways to do the same tasks in other games.

As far as the topic, I actually was able to admire the landscaping MORE in ARR... I do admit I felt characters looked better in 1.0, but eh, it's not by much, and I'm not THAT picky. I still think the landscaping of this game looks really good!
