This games gear progression is too one way street and then there's little to no options to make them different from anyone else in this game...I also agree, that this game
is watered down. I've never played XI or WoW but I've played plenty of MMO's and this is nice change of pace but I wouldn't mind a bit more complexity all around the boards here...
I feel like they had to do this because they needed to play it safe from the fall of 1.0...so end the end, you have this...again, it still has time to grow.
It's a good game but it really is super simple. Game has plenty of potential all in due time...whether not it gets better is up to SE.
