It does sadden me somewhat to know that in the future I won't get to interact with most of the people that I met in Vanguard. I will miss that.

This may still be the "best fit" for me out of the MMOs currently on the market, but that is ruined by the fact that the game isn't what I signed up for. The three spheres are not equal. The items are not balanced (particularly the crafted items). Leveling is a grind for crafters (and for adventurers IMO, but not as blatantly) rather than a side-effect of content. I was willing to endure the grind if the content came later and the crafting abilities were worthwhile, but the devs catered to adventurers exclusively when balancing items and making content.

Alas, perhaps there will never be equality for us common merchant folk.
