Something's happening

The leves (quests) can now be taken daily.
There are side quests now means! appears above the head of the NPC.
Crafting was a little changed and simplified.

The trade has been added a market overview. So you can now search for a product, and also mark the dealer. Just at the entrance of the instantiated commercial districts call, enter the district in question after and happy shopping. Likewise, you will receive a second mate, so much more pocket / "Bank" places.

What I still regard as extremely negative
-no matter whether windowed or full-screen, raustabben is not in it, leads to an immediate crash.
Configuration of sound and graphics by means of external Konfig.exe and also inadequate. It is annoying as hell when a melody from the Launcher zerbläst hearing, the game volume control only take effect after the Char is loaded.
-to little adjustment on the UI. For example, name display, applies to all names, no differentiation between players, group, guild, NPC and monsters. Is made out ... Similarly purist it is with all the options ...
-Crashed The game (because you have to stay away from the Tab key forgotten again, or a friendly Windows brings a message to the desktop) are accepted quests still lost.
-The Patcher is still abysmal. -> My Documents / MyGames / FFXIV / 4E ..... / Downloads / metainfo are the torrents. I prefer the Torrent with Bittorrent, and then save it under / Downloads / Patches /. Goes faster than with Launcher !! Nevertheless unreasonable.
-Where are the chocobos ???

Otherwise, it does however become fun. Whether hunting monsters, ores, wood or other crops, fishing .... and the resulting tinkering.
I do not feel the urge to reach as soon as possible as in other games the max level in FFXIV, it is not in life so fast, especially because you're all levels can.
This, in turn, I find very positive, no matter how you level up yourself and friends levels (ie slow or fast) so you can still due to the numerous jobs usually play together.

Developing the FFXIV so far behind it shows that work is under way.
What I am today is about none of the developers even begin a "modern" MMO VIEWED has? I do not expect that FFXIV suddenly a WoW clone, but how stupid SE must have been, to put it in this state to the market? I can not explain such a way that it has been tried to avert the threat of bankruptcy the only. After all, gambling is still recognized with no monthly costs. I am very excited when SE will change that, then even if it can now play very pleasant, there is still something missing.
Conclusion of 1 Star mutated to 3 star, I hope it continues to grow.
