Well, that's a bit of a downer. I really hoped SE had learned something from the game-flops the past couple of years. If they do get most of it fixed within the first month, I'll probably stick it out, but I guess we'll see.
It's still beta, so I'm gonna stay optimistic and hope they get most of the stuff somewhat fixed before launch though. But I am a bit disappointed about especially what you say about the linkshell systems and the guildleves. Are guildleves really the only type of "quests"? I can barely believe that they would feel it is ok to only allow you to do 4 quests every other day, that seems redicilous.
About the community, well... That's just the gamer community. I think it's like that in every game. By now, I try to avoid reading it too much.
I still have faith that this can be an awesome game, so despite the sort of bad news, I'm gonna stay positive for now It's just a shame really, that companies keep pushing out games before they're ready.
