While the post is a bit over-the-top, I do think that SE needs to wake up and stop listening to the people that are saying that everything's fine and the game just needs a few tweaks.

I quoted the above text because honestly, SE needs to incorporate things from other games that worked, especially FFXI. I understand that they're trying to do this with certain aspects of the game, but I think that things from RIFT, WoW, etc. could make this game great. Take for example, public quests in RIFT. How awesome would it be to show up for a Behest, and an option pops up asking if you'd like to "Join Behest Group" instead of clicking the NPC and manually forming a party. Little things like this could be done for all kinds of things in the game, but it seems like SE doesn't look at other games out there and come up with cool ideas, they ask us for the cool ideas.
