There really is not better subcription based MMO (I hate free to play or buy to play MMOs) for me.
I hate a few things about this game (mostly that I am not sure about the future of this game) but there are still more positive things.

The most positive thing for me is definitely the raiding, class system, the japanese style (I kinda like anime and stuff and this game has a bit of it, not much but enough). It feels like my first MMO again. )
