    This was so in depth and descriptive. It was like looking at art except it was words. Make this person a book.

    Now that there's actually a video (lol) I skipped to the TL;DR at the end. Based on that (I didn't watch the whole thing, but assuming that's a fair summary), I think his overall points are pretty fair. Questing is pretty boring. Leveling the higher levels before 60 is extremely tedious. The PvE content while leveling is generally too easy unless you really push yourself deliberately. The cash shop may be a bit on the expensive side (but I'm not sure I agree that having a 'cheap' level 65 scroll is a good idea either). But overall, as he says, it's still fun and one of the better F2P MMOs out there. The combat system, world, and character design are generally great.

    In my opinion, one of the biggest things I'd like to see them do is improve the questing process from 45 to 60 to involve way less boring travel from point to point. It made sense when they were all quest hubs and you needed the side-quests, but now that they've turned them off by default, you're spending 85% of your time traveling. I can understand why people prefer to level via dungeons (though these are too easy) or even battlegrounds. That said, once they expand the flying mounts to the whole world, that may help a little bit.

    Early game content only got easier because of Avatar weapons and BAM nerfs. The only reason Avatar weapons were introduced was because everyone complained that the leveling was way too slow. I think if avatar weapons didn't work in dungeons or had damage reduction in dungeons, it would satisfy both wants. Another way to help fix this would be to give players who just hit 65 (Reaper's not included) a 1 time, untradeable 60 scroll, so if someone had second thoughts, they could have another 60 character to try out. No one that has second thoughts on the game will buy a 60 scroll for how much it is, so no money would be lost. People who already have a bunch of alts will just level anyways. Leveling new characters is still awful, the only good thing now is how much faster it is if you know what you are doing.

    Pretty fair review, agree with the majority of it.

    He was playing on Tera EU, so that explains his comments about the cash shop. I feel if he had played on NA he would've felt the prices were more fair.
