Progress is progress I always say. When you move forward in a game. It's always a good thing, and this game has moved forward. The game has become a lot more user friendly and streamlined. Something I had complained about big time in the past. The trade skills also got a simplified boost. More needs to be done here however. You still have no clue or guide to it. As a new player you would basically look at it and move on.

A pvp world map has been added and it's AWESOME. Maybe the best part of the whole game now. Maybe I'm being a bit biased but I like my pvp after all. You can think of the pvp like Planetside 2. On a very much smaller scale. I know a lot of people shy away from pvp. But its fun and no one will yell at you if you die. Just enjoy it for what it is entertain.

The game appears to run smoother than in past versions as well. I ran it at Ultra and did lag much of at all. The sound and timing of voices is better now too. They all used to run over each other a lot. Now it seems a bit smarter on how it initiates. Sometimes you will need to stop moving to allow a storyline dialogue to play out. Or you will run into that run over dialogue.

Another thing I noticed is resources are far more forgiving now. I don't know if it's intended or not. But things appear more lucrative and mob drops are as well. I'm getting a lot of gear by just random questing. This game has never been that generous. Which I think is also a step in a good direction.

Pros

Better streamlined Questing
Better Sound System 
Better Loot
PVP is back 
Dueling PVP is back
Vehicle controls seem tighter
Better storyline use
Game plays smoother on high settings

Cons

Trade skills need a little more tutorial love
Enemies need better AI. And not jerking movements that make no sense.
The game needs a true bad guy. Or a more visible enemy to menace you
Gliders appear to be majority cash shopped now. Which is kind of an insult to people who paid for it in earlier months. Or earned it in various in game ways.
Everyone was started over AGAIN! What is this like the sixth time that happen?
Some would say now the game is holding your hand too much. Which makes it less sandbox and more theme park

Conclusion

If you had an account before July 8th this year. You can log in right now and play. In my opinion it's greatly improved. And deserves at least a little of your time. The game still has a ways to go. I think it needs a little more personality and edge. Be a bit more cinematic and have a sense of urgency.
