Started playing again after about a year away. I think it's great now. I love the quests and, sorry, but I love the combat. This is the game I wanted.
Not sure what everyone hates about it to be honest.

If you want to know what people hate about it, there's no shortage of information. You could start right here in this very forum. If you're (somehow) enjoying yourself however, I'd say just go have a blast and don't worry about it. (= I wish I could join you.

Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy!
My guess is those that truly appreciated the old game just can't stand the limited game that now runs on the servers, at least that's why I hate the current game

I started playing again a few days ago. I originally played it from release and didn't like the combat, because it seemed very awkward and extremely bugged. I also hated the missions as they were bland. In fact the only things I liked about it were the range of classes, the vehicles/pets and of course the settings.
I was never really into crafting in any game so I cannot comment on that side of things as to whether or not that is better or worse, but as for every other change, I really like them. I think the new combat style is awesome and much much better than before. I hated the HAM system.
I come here and all I see are negativity to the changes. It just feels like I am alone in thinking this game is now really cool and I also fail to understand how it was better before. It's all about opinions I guess, and to the person who commented on me having to say sorry because I like it :- the reason I said sorry was because I was going against popular opinion and I didn't want to upset anyone. I guess it was me being polite.

There are a few of us here that enjoy the game still that post here, and I know of a few that lurk here that I've talked to in game (/wave). So you're not alone

See that's why you like it. You didn't like the original, and that's excellent I am happy for you honestly. However as for what I personally dislike about it... here you go. #1 I didn't want an FPS game which is what they gave me. I liked the original combat system, and the CU was ok at best, this new one is too difficult to play for me because I play on a laptop. Also I have friends that are physically challeneged that love this game because they could play it, now they can't, too me that is just plain wrong! #2 I hate the fact that everyone is the same exact thing now, sure they're changing it, but it's going to take another 3-5 months before they do it. So basically they launched a game that wasn't anywhere ready to be launched to try to cash in on all the little kids that were going to get christmas presents, and they launched a game that wasn't ready. People say it was ready, ok well they tell me this... Why do they need to revamp trader? Oh yeah because there's no point in being a trader now, why do they need to revamp entertainer, oh yeah there's no point in being and entertainer. Why ware they adding the expertise system oh yeah because people like variety. It sounds to me like SOE is slowly turning the game back to what it was, target lock, expertise system, player bounties coming back, because they realized they screwed up. However it's too little too late. They have alienated a large part of the people that backed them and supported them from day 1. So there that's why I cannot stand this game now, why to I still complain, because I hold out hope that the game I loved will come back it's the only MMO I want to play, but in it's current version, it isn't worth it to me... because well all the stuff that they are working on in this game no one should have to pay to play. It should be alpha or beta testing, not launched!
What I do wish they had was another storyline quest for the 40-70 level range, and that they raised creature health to what it used to be. At level 40 the most effective way to level was to go to dath and kill off every lvl 82-94 creature I saw. With a rifle this is rediculously easy and horribly boring.

It's this same kind of attitude that's used when a game is poorly designed with the story and some apologizer comes onto a board and states "the answers can be found at XYZ web site". In other words, the answers to a game problem can't be found within the same game, and to me, that's a badly designed game in which you have to rely on infinite trial and error or the web site of some lucky person that clicked the right button once or went down a path clueless and stumbled into the Holy Grail that was stuck into the game as somewhat of an afterthought.

Armorsmith mechanics wern't changed as much with the NGE since the CU had already really dumbed them down. With the CU, the experimentation / layering process was toned down severly not to mention the little "resource musical chair" crap they pulled. In many cases that negated years of effort for Armorsmiths... not to mention the devaluation of experimentation suits as well. Oh, and I hope you didn't have any armor and armor components in stock when the CU hit too but I'm getting of the mechanics of it here.
Well, then we get the NGE. Without decay the only thing left to experiment on within our simlified crafting process, condition, is no longer important. There's resistance of course but with that being the only thing, you can toss in any old resource you find lying around and you're set (relatively, of course). Additionaly, without decay return business is obvioulsy reduced.
I don't know what your server was like obviously but I was selling tons of layered armor everyday.
