That's your main problem right there. You only played a few hours and gave up before you actually could get anywhere. I Admit I came in almost a year after the game was released, but even then during the course of the year I've been playing, the game has had drastic improvements to it's speed, complexity, and interface, with future changes in the making since the game itself is getting completely overhauled in the next few months.

It's not perfect yes, but other MMO's aren't either and despite the utter failure that FFXIV originally turned out to be, SE didn't give up on trying to improve it compared to some of the other MMO's that were released over recent years. In fact some of the latest MMO's were initially given good reviews, but fell to the wayside quickly after they found just how shallow game turned out to be.

I'd just wait until 2.0 comes out, the major bugs are tackled (Every MMO has them post beta), and give the game at least a week of play before you give any final judgments. Oh, and just ignore all the reviews out there because most of them out there are either biased, they didn't actually take the time to learn the game, and/or they typically aren't the most informed people even though they're in the industry. *cough*G4*cough*IGN*cough*
