The pve was partly ok, but mainly just bad. You have a set of weapon choices right from the start, and using a specific weapon grants you more attack skills, up to five per weapon, but it depends on your use of the skills, not on our level. This led to me (playing as elementalist) having all possible weapon skills in all stances before level 10. After that, battle didn't change anymore, it was the exact same in the following, which was really boring.
The personal story line seemed interesting, but at some point I wasn't able to do it alone, got killed many many times, and my friends couldn't help me as they couldn't join my instanced areas. Therefore at around 43 I stopped doing my story line at all.
The dungeons were very long and very hard if you didn't know the mechanics or the other players, the other classes and so on. We wiped a lot until nobody had the money to get their equip repaired and we were forced to disband the group.
The questing itself was mostly like in other mmos, only that sometimes events popped up, with their difficulty (or amount of mobs spawning) depending on the number of players in the area. Unfortunately often these events got annoying when you saw the same ones over and over again and the quest givers were participating so you had to wait till the event was over to get your quest done.
Traveling was one of the most annoying things, expensive like hell, like repairing, we simply couldn't afford it, resulting in long hours of walking from on area to another one.
The only really good thing was the crafting system, were you could combine different mats to discover the recipes, and didn't get the recipes from trainers.
All in all, as said before, I regret buying this game. Around level 50 I decided I just wanted to reach max level and then would never touch that game again, and I haven't.
