It seems the only thing people are praising of this game are the graphics. Truth: the world looks bland and uninspiring.
The game doesn't break any molds but manages to avoid any and all massively multiplayer gaming conventions that we've been building for the last ten years like a functional UI or an auction house to name a couple.

Let's assume for a moment a magical patch fixes all the issues a year from now. That will not the be end of it. The game is seriously flawed in that it's designed for solo play but doesn't offer any activity (read: quests) to keep the solo grinder entertained. Forced grouping a la FFXI would have been another valid option but at the moment you're just soloing to max level
