This game is WAY more polished than any mmo ive played at launch, op is obviously ignorant about the mmo genre. But if you dont like it then dont sub, nice easy solution.
I play on a high pop server and theres always people where ever i go. Chat is pretty much always active even late night. Wanna see a lifeless game go play ff14, doesnt get any worse than that.
I just wanna take my time and do everything in this game, explore everywhere. Do all the quests and get the whole story. I am in no hurry to get to lvl 50 and grind..
