I'm tired of it, and this is no longer something to praise Yoshi for. He fixed 1.0 and made a better MMO in 2.0-4.0, he didn't fix 1.0 to turn it into a single-player game.
This post here is painful... Not because it's true... But because I remember playing 1.0 and being promised that a realm reborn would be a polished version of 1.0. I feel like I was lied to... The moment I started up arr, attacked my first monster and noticed how quick the global cool down was and used quick combos to kill... I realized this was a very very different game compared to 1.0...

1.0 aside from all its flaws, was a mmorpg first.... You needed to communicate with others and form groups to exp chain, participate in dungeons, do leves... Eureka almost felt like a polished version of 1.0, all that was missing was a complete revamp of how weapon skills and attacks worked.

Here's hoping for changes come 7.0 and onwards.
