Technical issues killing an otherwise AVERAGE game...Amazing? wtf

[Tsuroku]

I don't get how most of you feel this game is so amazing that the server issues are merely a road bump to an amazing experience. Firstly, I'm not quitting...yet, but a lot of my friends are slowly vanishing and I will eventually follow.

How, in any way, is this game revolutionary?

1. 2 1/2 second Global cooldown makes for incredibly boring gameplay.

2. Most classes just spam two moves. It's incredibly scripted. They have more, but its obvious which moves do the most damage, and are critical.

3. Fates give too much XP, and are far from imaginative, just spawn a bunch of otherwise regular mobs, woo!

4. Dungeons have no personality, bosses are stupid easy.

5. All characters look almost exactly the same, as does armor styles.

6. Lack of limit breaks ala FF XI. Wooo, one character gets one overdrive once a dungeon. Whatever happened to cross party skillchains? You know, teamwork?

7. Barely any gear in dungeons, lets fight our way to that chest for a hi-potion (if you're lucky)

8. Annoying quest structure, run here, run there, teleport here, back there, teleport here, back there, etc etc

9. Just too easy in general. Ridiculous easy. It better get at least 2x harder by end game.

So what am I missing? Played Wow, GW2, lotro, EQ 1+2, and I fail to see anything GREAT about this game. It's an average game that stands out because of the developer, which almost went bankrupt from bad decisions.

Well I will agree with you on most of your points, but in the end what matters to me is that I have fun when I am able to login. (a login process by the way has been absolutely atrocious)

Essentially what I am saying is this, I have fun when I am playing, lots of fun. You are spot on with a lot of your points, no really new game mechanics or systems, but still I just have so much fun when I am on. It is really has simple has that. Some folks like to boot up there Atari/Nintendo/(Name of Random System/Game) and just play it for the simple fact they have fun with it, regardless of its flaws. So while this game is not revolutionary, it is fun for me and I can only hope everything is working has it should once their horrible mess of a RELAUNCH has been rectified.

My fear is that all these login issues will still exist after their "fixes" and the game will indeed die off. No amount of fanboy pride will be able to defend their lack of performance after tomorrow (though many will try).
