I like the game a lot, and I think they did an amazing job rebuilding it so much better from 1.0.

But I won't be subscribing.
I won't because of the terrible lag and impossibility to avoid AoE and because of the terrible, old, outdated and frustrating RNG loot system (at the moment, I've over 60 kills on Ifrit and 18 on Garuda - not a single lance ever dropped. I know people who have more runs than me).

I will surely subscribe when those problems are fixed.
Until then, I'd play some other MMO. And I hope they fix them before I lose interest and start playing something else.
