What a boring whiney load of crap.

I keep seeing all these posts about crashes, about not finding groups, about roll-backs and all sorts of junk. You know what? Stop trying to run the game on highest settings with your adware ridden 486, tweak your system, keep it clean and happy and you won't crash nearly as much. I've had about 3 CTDs since the patch before last (the one which fixed them) went live.

Can't find a group? Join a guild, get involved, stop jumping in to crappy PUGs with all the other clueless idiots.

With regards to rollbacks, I dunno. Re-log? I've never lost exp due to any bugs, I've lost stones which have re-appeared in the summon list after a re-log.

Don't like the UI? Get a new one. Yes it looks like WoW's default layout, and yes, it's pretty ugly. But you can change it. WoW' default UI, EQ2's default UI, they both suck too in my opinion but it doesn't stop me playing.

The leveling thing, anyone that focuses too much on how long it's taking them to level is missing the point, turn your experience bar off and start taking some interest in the game instead of just the numbers associated with your character. If you can't do that then go and play something else, this game is about the journey as much as it is about end-game, infact I'd say at this point it's more about the journey. Enjoy it, what's the rush to get to 50, so you can push that extra +3 on a stat with your uber phat lewt? Stop thinking about every MMO in terms of how bad the "grind" is and appreciate the game itself.

Yes, combat is pretty much the same as every other MMO, maybe you should make the most of it and take a little more interest in weaknesses, chain attacks and your reactions. I dunno, I enjoy it. This is how most MMOs will continue to work until the entire customer base has good enough connections to have realtime hit detection for games of this scale. You'll be waiting a while.

Quests are boring? Do you read them? Do you take an interest in the story behind each quest, the lore in that area? Probably not. Granted sometimes it's nothing special, but more than often the quest progession is quite interesting, if you let it interest you that is.

Reviews? Haha. People really aren't allowed to make up their own opinions in our societies anymore are they? That's like me saying "Hey guys, Justin Timberlake's new album is really, really good, all these reviews said so!!!".
