With one caveat: This is beta, time is short, and people want to see more than do. Other than that...slowing down is the ONLY way to play this game properly.
This isn't the only issue. The main issue I think is the conditioning that other MMO's have done to so many people. I am not going to lie, I missed so much in the BWE's at first because I was simply playing the game incorrectly.
Some of the things games have done to us in the past:
-Rushing to the end, for end game content (the game sucks low level, better and more challenging at the end)
-Quest NPC's and Quest hubs, zero dynamic content
These are the main reasons people are complaining, they are simply doing it all wrong. Once I slowed down and just participated in the content, stuck around to see what would happen next, and sought after the DE's (and not just the heart quests), it felt much different and better.
Colin's point about people hyping stuff up in their minds is so true. The more you think about it, the more you play it up, the more you dream about how awesome it is going to be, THE WORSE THE GAME WILL BE! Nothing, ever, will live up to ridiculously high expectations like this. You are better off feeling negative about something than positive.
I honestly don't understand why dev's hype thier stuff up so much, if they didn't, it would be much better received by the players.
