My hope for this game is slowly dieing. They take one step forward, and three back.

They
released the Wizard class a few days ago, looks awesome. It still has
some of the old skills, but the new ones look pretty cool too. This was
the step forward.

The steps back?
1: Max players in a game went from 8, to 4.
2: Smaller groups = even more limited PvP
3: Stats are auto-allocated.

Seriously?
Auto-allocation? This kills the customization of characters. It kills
re-playability. What was more fun than customizing a character the way
you wanted? Having a sorceress as a tank, having an Assassin built for
Whirlwind instead of her normal traps/arts, that's what made this game
so fun. This just throws the characters into stereotypical builds that,
other than skills, have no uniqueness to them.
Also with
auto-allocation, this basically makes gear class specific. You can't
have a sorceress wearing plate mails anymore. Each type of weapon will
be limited to either physical or magical builds.
