With the upcoming expansion on the horizon and the flurry of debates of whether this will be a welcome sight to those in love with the current game or to those stagnating and feel it will just be more of the same.

I am curious where people stand as of right now in their opinion of XIV. I personally fit into the griping category since I tend to gripe about SE not doing enough and since I'm from FFXI I have a natural difference of opinion to the style of MMO that has become XIV today.

1. Where do you come from to XIV? Play WoW, FFXI, GuildWars, ESO, CoD, BF, Space Sim, Mario, etc?
2. Do you like how the game currently progresses? Do you enjoy how the core level and then gear level progression is paced and/or designed?
3. Do you want it to stay that way? If no, what changes would you make?
4. What is your favorite part of FFXIV, what do you appreciate most that the devs have done?

Edit: Getting some decent input with this and think i want to change how i word no.2, Also in the spirit of staying positive and appreciative i'm adding question 4.
