Have to agree with everything you said buddy. Im really into this game. It plays very smoothly. Storys are great. Only down side is end game. Not a great deal to do but i always find something to do. Saying that though every mmo has had poor end game at the start. So its nothing new.
Over all a very fun game to play which will only get better..
Remember the haters are over shadowed by the people who like the game. Forums are made for haters so they dont come in game and moan. Once a new MMO comes out like GW2 or D3 they will hopefully move over there and start moaning about everything they dont like.
