Bot issues have been addressed. Bugs that were in game upon release have been addressed. The expense of travel has been greatly reduced. Improvements and patches have occurred and helped improve the game. Some of the reviews for release are legitimate with PvP issues and bugs, those issues have been fixed. I leveled solo with PvE game play from running Town missions, Faction missions, Crafting, Gathering, and Open world quest. Follow the story arch and understand the leveling system will not hold your hand and do your research before you buy on how the game is designed to be played. For dungeons I found quality peeps to run with. They are actually very fun.

The open world is built very well and is beautiful as you have choices where to go and how to level. The open world like Eden Grove is rather beautiful. Zones are not instanced. I enjoyed leveling my weapons and like how I can auto switch and respect to build PvP or PvE builds. I feel the freedom of choice is a strong point for this game in terms of PvP, open world, leveling weapons, and your builds. The expertise system was introduced a little too early but can be leveled rather quickly for gear/ Some complain about the grind but most every frakn MMO I have played since Star Wars Galaxies has a grind. Like any MMO the gear and weapons matter in terms of theory crafting. The housing system is fluid/

It is a young F2P game and I don't see any P2W from the cash store which seems to be purely cosmetic at this point. Project Management has improved and the leadership to community communication has improved since release. Arenas are fun. The faction system reminds me of Planet Side 2 in terms of territory control for factions. This is a new game and takes chances for not following the WoW formulas (no offense) and I like that. Combat is fun as you can literally dodge hits. If you feel the need for Shader mods no biggie.

I would recommend this game to older MMO gamers from the Star Wars Galaxies days who want a new experience but also point out that the game is new and young. Watch a stream, ask questions to the streamers, and do your research before you buy. Be a smart consumer. This may not be the game for you...no biggie. Try GW2 or LOTRO.

I am hoping for new lands, mounts, and a flood of content. If you are after only PvP, the war rages on for territory control forever. PvE folks will hit an end game where it leads to gear grind, crafting, fishing, housing system, and collecting rare items. There is no subscription. The feedback from the community has given this team a clear direction and it is starting to shape up better than expected after the mad dash of being a new game is now finally done.
