1st free month is the most important time for developers

Personally, I don't believe I will continue playing past the free month. The game is in a terrible state:
*poor engine optimization. Players having a poor performance even on very good machines. Granted, this seems to affect some players.
*bugs everywhere
*poorly implemented features
-ninja looters in dungeons who loot chests and can't be kicked from group,
-way too much traveling,
-way too slow leveling,
-way too late access to weapon switching,
-bad idea to allow attributes influence how much damage the attacks that use those attributes. In fact the attributes should be baked in and removed from player control. They are unnecessary and tedious.
-pvp is terrible and whoever gets the 1st shot wins in 90% of cases, as players drop like flies.
-often enough very long loading screens just get exit a building.
-resources are being drained way too fast and replenish too slowly, this causes a tedious combat where doing fun things happens rarer than you might want.
*severe lack of fluff
-no chat boxes,
-no transmogrification,
-no easy access to respecs,
-no auctionhouse
-etc

About the only thing I don't really agree with is the to slow leveling, if the game is good and solid and and has great end game content with longevity, I don't really care how slow the leveling is as long as the leveling is fun and not grinding forever. I don't want to be 50 in a month and in this game I have played only 11 days game play time and have almost already hit 50, for me that's way to fast.

When you hit Vet Status it's going to be a rude awakening. Then they will be releasing Craglorn content which will up the VR levels even more.
1-50 is just a tutorial and it's about the most fun part of the game to be honest.
