This First Impression is very miss leading. After you finish the basic first quest you are given which does have a few steps but at max will last you to level 7 in your initial profession you are left with nothing left of the beginning story which was very well done. Instead you are left with a grind system based our going out using a card at a crystal and killing mobs or gathering based on your job. This impression is very miss leading.

I wanted to like this game and the first few hours were very nice but once the story driven content was removed it became very boring and repetitive. There are a lot of frustrating UI elements that were not done properly for a PC audience that could have been easy fixes. But in this day and age hiding things 3 menu clicks down instead of right on the UI is a bit lack luster in design.
This could have been a major breakthrough for Square as WoW is over 5 years old and most players are looking for new games to try but they dropped the ball by catering to a console crowd with a very gamepad centric layout.

I have zero interest in purchasing this game after trying the beta

This game hinges on large scale battles. This game screams F2P model with micro transactions. Why they have not embraced that I am not sure, but this game would get a large influx of players if they would do what is right for this type of game and take it F2P

I have been having fun in the game I only hit commander the other night so I have a while to go but I like taking it at a casual pace

No Eyefinity support is what killed this game for me the devs believe it is not worth supporting. So this game is not worth me supporting
