That's right folks, realm 1st out of like 10 players. rawr.
 
Hey lads, just dinged 50 on Warhound-2. Boy did I have fun :D I thought I made a mistake by going to warhound-2 with a free transfer because of the lag but NOPE. It was great, no one ganked me while leveling, felt like I had the server all to myself. When I get bored I hopped into pvp and had some fun. 
 
Questing was great, I ran into so many elite mobs which were fun to kill. Made almost a plat from all the kills, which was nice. It's a lot to a newb, don't judge D:<
 
 
 
To the F2P'ers
 
 
 
THE GAME
This game is BIG and you will feel it. But don't worry, our movement speed is fast and you will cover ground easily. 
 
Are you gonna cap in a day and rek people in end game? Hell naw, you're gonna grind yo ass till it's numb. BUT you can easily cap in a week of casual play no prob, provided you don't get distracted much.... I found a little slug dude sitting in a cave smoking a massive hookah. Yea, I wasted an hour taking pictures and sending it to people on skype. 
 
THE PVP
The PvP - is a cluster*cupcake*. I advise you tone down the colors of the telegraphs so it's not that bad. 
 
 
I hear a lot of complaints about the combat system, even heard a nub whining about how we only have 10 skills (including gadget and inate). Over the past 4 months, I've played WoW, Final Fantasy 14 and Tera. Foo, da hell you need 30 skills for? Back during Mists of Pandaria WoW, I had 40+ keybinds as a hardcore raider but I used 10-15 tops in pvp. The skills have low cooldowns and the combat is fast-paced. It's different, deal with it. 
 
THE PVE while leveling
I've done a few dungeons but not much, the queues suck for dungeons after lvl 25 or so. You'll have to stick to solo content, unless you're a tank/healer or have friends to queue with.
 
THE COMMUNITY
Meh, let's face it. Ever since Leage of Legends became a thing, the toxic level of all online communities skyrocketed. Majority of online gamers have at one point or another came in contact with LoL or a LoL player and we all know how that feels. 
 
 
Aye, there're gonna be salty scrubs and elitists (like myself) who might ruin your fun... BUT there are a lot more nice people than salty ones here. And people seem to be having fun, rightfully so. The game is complete in many ways and isn't pay2win like most f2p games. Nor does it revolve around gold, how many people think enhancing gears on Tera Online sucks massive Chua B*lls ?
 
 
 
 
My Advice
 
Ignore the salt and do your own thing. Look around, talk to people, make friends and join a guild. Don't sit in Illium/Thyad spamming "LF guild", put some effort into it. 
This game isn't meant to be easy-mode but it isn't super hard either. Imagine the kids on Runescape mining rocks for 300 hours to get level 99. This just takes a bit of time, the journey isn't as smooth as Guildwars 1-80 but it's still fun and colorful. Though once you level one character to 50 - the others go by much quicker.  
Enjoy the lore. Pick up a data-cube and let it play in the background while you slay. It's not too shabby. 
Explore all the classes. Learning the skills of all the classes here are so much easier than learning all the champions in League or spec's in WoW. It'll help in the long run. 
While leveling, I stuck to the regional and world quests and skipped most of the small ones. BUT pick them up, sometimes the quests overlap with other objectives so you might finish even without specifically trying.  
The game didn't fail, the launch was just difficult because of server issues. Shit happens. Bruce Jenner turned into a man-chick, but we got over that didn't we? We can get over this hiccup too.  
You will see a lot of people begging for attention by posting threads like " IM BAD SO I QUIT" (At least that's how I see it). This is a Massive Multiplayer Online game.. interaction with other players is inevitable. If you can't get over the pixel of someone possibly thousands of miles away typing at you, then you're gonna have a *cupcake* of a time in the real world. If you genuinely dislike the game, then fair enough. Good luck in your future exploits :)

Good post! I was going to do something like this but you beat me to it! :D
I just started playing this weekend and really loving it. I am a bit confused about everyone complaining about que times? I've been getting on instantly and the server seems kind of low (Warhound-2). So i have some slight conerns for finding a nice guild and groups for raids. Also some areas are so large it's quite overwehlming (This is a good thing though). Overall im really enjoying the game!

			Glad to see not all f2p people coming over are expecting a cake walk and vent on the forums after it not being ez mode. Glad to see others enjoy the game. Now have some fun in the vet's and see what the game really has to offer those that like challenges

Everything you said made sense until I read this... That was pretty nasty and transphobic.. You probably don't understand why, but then again you called yourself an elitist.
