Honestly, I'm a little bit surprised at how much it has improved.

I played FFXIV's open beta, and uninstalled it within 5 minutes (literally). The UI was a mess, hardware mouse was lagging, and many other problems; specifically, I had no clue what the hell I was supposed to do in the game.

I don't know what they changed, but I've managed to play for 2 hours and not get bored out of my mind (I get bored in 2 hours from World of Warcraft).

So let me ask a question:

In what direction is this game going and why are people, specifically on FFXIVCore, still saying to "wait before purchasing" this game? I am by no means a hardcore gamer during September to April, but from April to September I don't do anything but game (this will give you a hint as to what my occupation is lol). There are friends in the same boat as me that want a new MMO for this summer, should I suggest to them to pick up FFXIV?

(I have a feeling end game content is the problem right now?)
