LMAO - You are honestly telling me that 1.2 is being released due to "listening to customers". Ha, you on the pay roll for them, please give me a break!!
First off, 1.2 should have
been the release. Many of the new features are all basic ones that any MMO game should have. You shouldn't need to request for a guild bank for pity's sake - this as well as many of the things they are including are the basic requirements for an MMO.
But you put your finger on it when you spoke the words "issues prior to launch". The game sadly wasn't ready on many levels. Yes, the leveling was fun, the class quests were great and I loved the cut scenes. Then you get to experience level 50..... basically it is a WoW Clone, just not an advanced or even an equal version to it.
And I vent my frustration at the game because I do like it, but so many people are not playing the game already and they
may return for 1.2, but for how long? A guild bank, training dummy on my ship etc is not enough to keep me or many of the people I know who have played the game with me since pre release interested.
It was rushed out with too many bugs in it. There is still a hard mode FP that I can not complete due to a boss that bugs out every time. I could go on and on but like the game I've had it with naming them all.
