Some frustrating issues that need to be fixed....
First of all Im going to say that I do not hate Tera, I love it as a whole but there are some things that need to be addressed. This is purely my opinion so dont hate too much. :awesome:
QUESTING:
In my opinion questing is dull, its not adventurous and interesting as it should be. Quests should be made harder to do and make a player more involved in a story than just pressing F, killing some mobs and BYE FELICIA. I think that there should be small puzzles, harder mobs to kill, making just one long quest line instead of million of the same purpose side quests. Sometimes I just want to go level up and have fun but doing the same thing for all of my characters is really boring.
SKILLING:
Seriously, Tera is such a great game but its missing some open world activities. Even as simple as cutting a tree or hunting animals. When I play Tera I get really bored doing dungeons/battlegrounds daily or selling my soul to get a few coins... I just want to have fun with my friends by doing some open world stuff. And no gathering is NOT fun.
CLASSES/RACES:
Now this is not a new issue and there are a lot of suggestions about it Im sure. It is really annoying for me as a female that there are less and less male characters being made. Dont get me wrong I play all female characters but I just get really pissed with the fact that I cant play with my male friends... or that the guys dont get as much credit as we do, or that I cant look at that BOOTY. It really looks a bit sexist that Tera has gender locked classes. I know there are a lot of people who like to play as female characters but Im sure guys want to play as males too.
HOUSING/MARRIAGE:
I know what you're thinking guys... " Its girly stuff, its not a romance game, GIVE US SOME BLOOD! " But when you think about it I'm sure some of you want to have a life with your wives/girlfriends in game or some of the singles there want to find a girl, get married and have a more immersive game. For all I care go and kill a bunch of mobs beside your house if that satisfies your manly needs. Im fully aware that there are a lot of other games that can be more RPG involved, have marriage systems, too horny, too ew. But seriously It would make Tera so much more than grinding dungeons or running around naked or something. Also Im not saying it should be disgusting, just a way where you can buy a house even in a different realm or something, buying furniture... Getting married, having your wife in a house and enjoying perks of being married such as shared inventory/bank, boosts, gifts, etc. Dont get me started on the suggestions for the house PARTEYS!!!
TO SUM IT UP:
Basically all Im saying is that Tera is becoming more and more dull in my opinion and I fear that in a few years it will be worse. And no I will not quit Tera and go play a different game if I have so many issues with it. I do like Tera, I just want it to be something more because it has a lot of potential.
Apologies for my English as well, its not the best.
So tell me your opinions? I take all the hate as well as all the love. ^^

You may want to test another MMO to compare. Tera is perhaps one of the MMO with the most diversifications in leveling. You can do Kumas royale only, you can do dungeons only, you can quest only, you can slash BAMs only. Questing itself is of a very low grinding level. Means, the quests do NOT require you to hunt 200 mobs Type A and then proceed to B, C, D. Questing is mixed with a short story, divided into optional (yellow), having some BAMs, even some alternative quests (escort, collecting, etc.). Besides that, Tera surely has the fastest way to level to max. So I wouldn't put much weight in this.
Time sink
Tera offers a lot of time sink. If you're interested in doing things, you can do crafting, achievements, exploring (even going into undeveloped areas is not reprimanded), title hunting. Some examples? Get a free raptor from achievements, Already got your extra inventory row from gathering and the inventory NPC from Kaiator? Got a flying carpet? My favourite time sink is helping newbies in the starting area. Getting to chat, ask where they come from. gift them some crystals and tips. Of course I really have to be bored to do this, usually I participate in events or try to manage my 40 lvl65 characters.
Genderlocking
A year ago I was playing BnS where there is/was no genderlocking. Now guess what.. most of the people nevertheless played a female. It's not the companies dictating what to play but rather the companies adapting to the player's wishes.
Housing
Nope. A lot of Tera players will also disagree, because we had something similar, called guild housing. People just disappear from towns and isolate themself somewhere. For the marriage, I can't say much as I'm completely opposed to this (in real life, I was married).
