That's the broad reason, OP is listing specifics.
And she's mostly right. Those where the big complaints I heard when it first started out

People did however complain about:
-The copy paste terrain. Didn't bother me much but I didn't like the lack of overall variety.
-A severe lack of content. At launch we didn't even have dungeons.
-It may be surprising, but lot of people did complain about a LACK of similarity to XI.

People liked the world being dangerous, just not with level 30 enemies just outside the towns.
