Apparently to some people lol.

I happen to love the PvE part of Aion and not give two rat's butt about the PvP so I guess it depends on your view point. The crafting is wonderful, if a little automatic, I prefer more interactive crafting like Vanguard and Eq2 but I can live with Aion's AfK and random proc crafting though. The items sure are pretty! ^_^

I think what's going to hurt Aion if anything right now is FF14, they are going to take away the 'anime' loving PvE people away. Because let's face it people who really love this probably really love it because they already like Asian themed games, otherwise you'll gloss it over and play something else. In general of course not everyone in the west is like this...
