At almost level 40, I kick ass as a Templar tank... so much that people ask for me to tank again and again. The content is much less grindy and more streamlined, especially when using the free exp bonus items and levelling on the fast-track server. Content comes at a decent pace and the servers aren't... that bad... Might go see that through. It's much better than how it was. The PVE community so far is nice, but that's probably because I tank well (Tanking A-labs with players 7 levels above me, and still holding aggro over the mages like a boss) and form groups a lot... and thanks to the fast track server, I can get help on my campaign quests quickly. The gear grind is rng-based but worth it. I wish I could say the same for enchanting and mana-socketing... *cough* But there are cash-shop and event-based items that get rid of that.
Yeah, I'm trying to find a decent "grown-up" legion to join as although it's a decent game, the community I found is pretty immature and obnoxious. I'm 34 years old and feel so out of place. I guess when you go F2P you get the "F2P crowd".

I'm also staying away from PvP whenever possible, it's not really my thing and I'm still too low level to be anything other than gank-food anyway. I've nothing against PvP as a principle but when the main factor of battles is who can stun-lock their opponent the most then it ruins it a bit for me. Also, playing as a cleric I'm bound to just get zerg rushed whenever possible.
