First off I will be playing this game regardless if the following items get fixed, BUT that does not mean others will. Now to the issues at hand:

The xp/rp mechanic must be changed so that it is distributed between everyone in a WARBAND, not groups. Their band-aid horrible fix to what they saw as healers receiving to much RP has only made the problem WORSE. Case in point: go into any scenario and pure dps classes are rewarded for going solo. So to fix the problem they must do the following: Scenario's do not allow anyone to drop group, only to move between each one, AND xp/rp is distributed between everyone equally in the warband not just the group.

Scenario servers are pretty much terabad. There is no way a server like Badlands is only having a few dozen players on each side queuing up. Mythic in my opinion is limiting the amount of matches that can go on at one time which is making the queue's to damn long. Blizzard has the same problem with 2v2 queues, they are long not because they don't have enough people, it is because there are to many people.  So to fix the problem they must increase the servers that handle scenario's.

The last thing that must be fixed now, not later is leveling rank. When Mythic decided to ignore a year plus of play testing and greatly increase the time to rank in the last few weeks before release they made a huge mistake. The number 1 issue Ive seen people complain about is that there is no open RvR. The reason: the masses are stuck in T3. They were on the right track with the idea of getting everyone in T4 so the WAR would be raging before the first month was over: they failed in that, and failed big time IMO. Mythic must fix this problem, and to do that they need to get people through T3 a hell of a lot faster.

Thats what I see as the major screw up's and all of them are rule set mechanics that left unchanged effects everyone that plays the game. Like I said above I will still play because I do enjoy the game, but with the above rule set changes I think the game would be much more enjoyable.

It seems you are unaware that in betas companies increase the leveling speed so players can get through the content faster to test it.

If you were in closed beta you would know they did not open up all the tiers so there was no reason to "increase" the leveling speed what so ever. When I joined beta tier I & II were available only, and to my understanding it had been like that for months.

In my opinion Mythic did not "increase" xp gain in beta so people would get through content, because they way they conducted the closed beta there was no reason for it. Also I like to point out that the xp gain is only a huge issue in T3, that is where it is taking way to long and needs to be adjusted.

I have my own list of things that must be fixed. I resubbed to give Mythic another month, because they made a lot of progress the first month and actually managed to suck me in. I want them to fix the bug making your guild heraldry on your cloak and your helment graphic to revert to the default On/Off when you zone. They need to fix Morale abilities not firing in scenarios 100% of the time.

That's really the only two things that will make me /cancel after this next month. Hopefully, their 1.1 patch or a sooner update will address this problem.

I don't know if that's true or not because I don't see a lot of players in those tiers anymore. But one thing's for sure, they need to allow people to play ALL scenarios and not just the forced ones they give us. The T4 scenarios just plain suck, it looks like they just tossed some crap together without thinking about it. Why not let everyone play Nordenwatch again or other favs?

Personally, I think the end game sucks right now and they need to make some major improvements quick because the game gets very boring in T4.

I have to admit it, there are just too many problems with this game.  I would recommend waiting for 3 months before buying.

The leveling is not to slow, it is an order of magnitude to fast. The game has been out less then a month and lots of people have been max level for a while now. It should have taken 6 months for any significant number of people to reach level 40.

I agree with OP completely.

However I do find the game extremely enjoyable in the state it is atm.

Ofc there is room for improvement, and plenty of it. And we should all discuss them to no end, by all means. Nevertheless, with all the "flaws" it is my best MMO so far. It is like griping that your new Jaguar needs those zebra skin seats RIGHT NOW! It is a Jaguar, ffs! Zebra skins would be nice but man, it is a Jag!

I would be happy if there was simply no scenarios period. Then people would be out there pvp'n over keeps. I'v only seen one battle so far were a keep even had a deffender player., and I cant say how many times I'v ran to deffend a keep only to see no one attacking. 

Its very fustrating.

I 'm not quiting ..just my 2 cents.
