Pros:

    Graphics are amazing
    Controls are very fluid
    PvP is epic
    PvE content is surprisingly quite good
    PvPvE works really well
    Leveling hasn't been near the grindfest many people assumed it would be
    Questline flow is simple and easy to follow

Cons:

    I'm a little disheartened when it comes to the epic 100 vs 100 Fortress battles that I had so looked forward to playing in. Performance is quite bad when more than 50 or so users are on your screen including game lockups. :(
    Once you get to 25ish and head into the abyss, I hope you have friends to group with, otherwise expect to get ganked on a semi regular basis. Questing in this area is a lesson in patience.

Those are my thoughts as unbiased as possible.

Overall I am really enjoying the game.

Pros.

-Graphics are amazing, there is a lot of little detail that went into the game.
-Customer creation...I was stuck on that for awhile. It does make each char somewhat unique.
-Love the armor and dye.
-Game play is very smooth and character movement is very smooth also...
-Doesn't feel like a grindfest
-Love the transport feature, hardly any flight time to different locations.

Cons.

-The chat tabs....
-The layout of the Warehouse storage..you have to scroll down, but I like the automatic organize feature.

Pro...

I just noticed the workorder for crafting etc...a couple days ago. I really like it, makes it a little easier to level up....tailoring takes so long. :shock:

Pros:
I agree with all of the one's indicated thus far.

Cons:
What's the use of having wings if you can only fly in certain places. I would use that as my advantage, especially against the Krall! Is it some sort of balancing thing they try to maintain? May not be a con, but just a gripe of mine.

Questions:
What's considered a grind? I felt going after 50 krall marks was a major grind fest.

Yea, only being able to fly in certain areas definitely kind of blows but I can see the reasoning behind it for PvE. Otherwise you would just fly to the Boss fights and not have to fight your way there, etc. You'll find that all of the PvP zones like the Abyss you can fly throughout though.

Grinding = No quests, just killing mobs for your experience usually.

He He, I just ganked a couple Asmos the other night. I was doing the second go around with the teleportation quest (with my chanter), and I decided to fly off the mountain. I found a couple unsuspecting asmos doing a quest, they we down on health and I got'em. :@ Unfortunately they must've sent word, because and assassin snuck up and I lasted a little while, but was finally killed. :(
