Really?  The game is a 7 at best.  Great graphics, cool class system with being able to level everything on a single character, stronger emphasis on crafting, everything else the same MMORPG standard (which is fine and functional).  None of that takes into account the horrors of the relaunch with shutting down servers and character creation or the fact that people have multiple 50's playing casually prior to first month being up.  Good game, but it's a C average at best.

And how long did you play the game for? 

Oh wait... Is this a setup for the typical "catch-22" routine fans of a MMO like to pull on people who criticize it?

It usually goes like this...

You ask them how much of the game they saw.

If they say they did anything less than reach level cap on all classes/jobs, completed all dungeons on all difficulties, crafted, all missions/quests in all cities, and did every single little possible bit of content the game offers (a bar very few can ever claim to reach, including the fans)... they'll be told "well you didn't experience the whole game, so you don't know what you're talking about. So, you're just trolling".

If they say they did all that stuff, they'll either be called a liar, or will be dismissed with some remark about how "they must have liked the game if they put all that time into it, so they must just be trolling".

It's one of those false "challenges", where no matter what the person says, it's going to be "the wrong answer", not because those qualifications are realistic to expect of anyone, but because it's more important to disqualify any negative opinion, than to accept that others simply aren't going to like the game as much as others.
