Only issue with the server is that they haven't had a chance to reverse-engineer and implement some of the most recent features. It seems that now, with augments, almost everything up-til GoD is implemented. Omens of War has introduced tasks, custom titles, and whatnot which haven't made it from what I can see.

You have to understand what the developers have to do when a new feature comes out. It's not like SOE goes to them and says 'Hey guys, here's the source code (or schematic, or ect) for these new features...' In fact, SOE probably wants to make it harder for them to figure these new things out.

This also goes for anyone who whines about bugs -- DEAL with it. It's going to happen - the developers have no control over the client code, so they have to go with whatever information they can gather and then simply fill in the rest with best-guesses. It could very well test out on their client, but perhaps you've got a patch on them, or perhaps you've not patched up to live because it might break your ability to connect to older servers. Who knows? The point is, it's all best-guess work until it's tested enough. Even then, SOE could change something that'll break what could have taken months to work out.

I've read these forums quite a bit now, and I think people who come here need a reality check.
