It's not that I'm trying to be fair or balanced here, but after the glowing praise it only feels natural for me to let out the gripes too. Here's a list of things that I hope Funcom addresses ASAP for Age of Conan. It's not a nicely rounded top ten list because I'm not dredging the bug list, these are actually the bugs I find hard to ignore.

These are listed in the order in which they affect my fun factor:

• Polearms became toothpicks. Someone at Funcom was overzealous in fixing the animations and they went and made Polearms all the same length. Aside from the blandness that delivers on the weapons that already have the worst itemization, many of them haven't scaled well: appearing toothpick-thin and pathetic.
• Falling through floors. This happens to NPCs and mobs more than players, but regardless the collision detection needs work. It's no fun getting attacked by an 'invisible' mob or having a boss you need for a quest just drop out of existence.
• No one can visit our guild city?!? Funcom has locked the guild city instances so only ourselves and our direct neighbours have access, no one else can be invited to see our guild city. I strongly detest that guild cities are primarily just a timesink toward PvP Battlekeeps, they need real PvE usage and customizations. Let us have more pride with our cities!
• That 'Out of Memory' error. Memory leaks are pretty common with any MMO, hell WoW still has some, but they pile up pretty quick in AoC. Zoning in particular has a nasty habit to either lockup or provide this notoriously useless error message.
• Dismounting in combat is broken. The animation for getting forcibly dismounted often repeats multiple times or makes you skate around a bit before resetting your character. Worse, if you try to dismount manually while in combat you can get stuck not able to attack.
• Unknown PF. On my friend's list everyone's location is 'Unknown PF' followed by a long number. I keep getting requests to meet people and have to ask where they are because they assume I can see their location.
• The Guild Bank does not sort. On a daily basis I have to manually move items to my bags to sort the guild bank because items won't automatically stack. As a result of this annoyance our guild bank is constantly 'full' and our guild members are selling items we would otherwise store.

None of these are show stopping for me, they're just the glaring problems that I'm patiently waiting to see fixed.
