My review so far

I've been playing VG for a couple of weeks now, I'm a lv 23 human pally. This is my review of the game so far.
World:
The world is huge. I would suggest they removed 75% of it! Why? Because most of it is empty!! You can run and run without seeing any NPC or mobs. At first this huge world is impressive, after a while it gets annoying, since you spend most of the time running long distances. Yeah, I do know about the different means of transportation, but seriously, it doesn't change much.
Graphics:
I was impressed when I started playing, but not anymore. This is because there are no variations. Every place looks almost the same. This gets extremely boring in the long run.
Sound:
Ok. Not bad, not good, just ok.
UI etc.:
The interface works just fine, but there are some issues they should fix - I'm surprised they haven't done it already. My pally icons (finishing attacks, etc) are placed above the initial hotbar. You can add more hotbars, but the one on the bottom left is unusable because it gets BEHIND the pally icons! There are similar other such issues, like the compass getting behind buffs, etc.
Quests:
I like how they inform which quests are meant for groups or small groups. But there are too few quests in this game. At lvl 23 I'm having problems finding new solo ones. Some solo quests really suck. What the hell is fun about killing 50-100 of the same mobs??? And some quests are very annoying since there are few of the correct mobs to find. I really enjoyed the URT (correct name?) quest series, though.
Crafting:
This is extremely boring. What you do is keep on clicking on icons till your fingers bleed if you wanna progress in crafting.
Harvesting:
This totally lacks content. Getting 1 (yes, one!) new plant to be able to harvest every 100 lvls you gain, that's stupid.
Diplomacy:
I hear Sigil has big plans for this feature. I heard about player controlled cities in the future where Diplomacy would be a very important feature. That would be my only reason to gain Diplomacy lvls, cause this is, imo, the most boring of everything I've experienced in this game.
Important: make sure you do the starting quests for Diplomacy. I deleted one of the quests by accident, and had a hard time finding where to get it again. If you don't do these quests, it seems you can't progress in Diplomacy at all. Not sure about this though, but I wasn't able to find ANYONE I could play against, since I had too low lvls, etc. Btw, Diplomacy is a card game.
Community:
The players who are online, seems to be very nice and mature, but most of the times I wanna shout: WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYONE?? Getting groups in this game, is hell...
Support:
Does this exist? I mean in-game. I once tried /petition, and got no response in over 7 hours. I won't try again.
Bugs:
Nothing serious, but several annoying ones that happens frequently. Ex: falling through the world - you will automaticly be teleported to the place you logged in, which can be far away from where you now were... Hint: DON'T log off when standing on stairs etc. It's a good chance you'll be UNDER it when log on next time. And you will have to tele/recall out of there...
Overall:
Killing mobs and doing quests are actually fun in this game, except those insane grind quests. There are several other features I really like, and I'm excited about housing and ships. But there are LOTS of issues with this game. If they improve it, and I mean really improve / add content, I'll still be around, if not it's goodbye.
Comments
Not to mention all the custom interfaces available. and even the original u can do anything to, add move resize anything on screen u want. It actually has more interface options then any other MMO out there.

And if he had said, "I bought the game and played my dwarf warrior to level 5, this game is awesome you should buy it", you would have said that you agreed completely and said it was the greatest review ever.
Ok, it was noobish of me not to have figured out about interface options, I admit that, but seriously: you shouldn't have to configure that yourself to avoid bars getting under each other, etc. That should not be needed at all.
Except from that:
WHY do I know too little about this game, in your opinion, to write a review? Did you miss the "so far" in both the title and the first paragraph?
I have NOT rushed to lvl 23. I've spent lots of hours on crafting, diplomacy, quests, exploring, etc. The fact that you disagree with my comments, does not disqualify me from being able to have opinions.

Like i said i respect your opinion but still feel you don't know much about the game. Did you read my comment about "how they actualy should have been placed" so thats agreeing with you.
But to make it clear i was expecting a review, but you just made a "your opinion of the game" and there is nothing wrong with that and then its a good read. It's just not a review where you have not covered the things you spoke of or did some research.
So again it was a nice read if the topic was called for example" my opinion about the game" or something like that. I also made no comments about anyone rushing , but at lvl 23 i would have thought you would know bit more about the game, saying everything looks the same without explaining what looks the same as i keep seeing different locations with each their own feel and look. Just a few things that would have made this a real review instead of just your opinion. And again before some of the lower IQ "haters"( not you but people like Kairebare that really does not understand things that is said) jump onboard. There is nothing wrong what you have written, but personaly i feel its not a "review" but mainly a opinion. And thats my opinion. Also i'm not here to tell that i could write a perfect review cause i probelbly can't make a decent review as reviews should be.

Translation, if OP said, "this game is awesome, and everyone should sub, can I have some more Kool-Aid Brad?", then you would have hailed him as a knowledgable and fair reviewer. But since he had a couple gripes he's obviously a dumb nub who dosen't know anything about the game and is just offering an opinion. Newsflash, reviews are opinions!
Knowledge is Power!
This i also said: "To be honost didn't really like the review, sure i respect your opinion afcourse, but it seems you know to little about the game for a review."
And again i said this:But to make it clear i was expecting a review, but you just made a "your opinion of the game" and there is nothing wrong with that and then its a good read. It's just not a review where you have not covered the things you spoke of or did some research.
So what are you talking about KairBare, You should really learn to read, i was not attacking the OP i was mainly stating my opinion on what he wrote, this is a forum and people are here to discus things, but it seems you have no idea how to discuss as you keep coming back with more nonsens that really make no sense and you keep trying to find something but again REAL FACT always will proof you wrong.
Dude, are you high on crack? Grind Crafting your favourite? Attracting crafters from far and wide?
YOU promise a huge grin for something that isn't in the game (and based on past history of game devs won't ever)!
Rose covered glassess to say the least. But to each their own.
You can actually go into your U.I. settings, press the "Layout mode" button, and move things around to wherever you want them. This way, nothing will ever overlap. You have to remember that every class is different and has different hotbuttons so it's difficult to have one layout that is perfect for every class.
