There is another transfer next week I think

I'm pretty disappointed with Vanguard, given how my expectations were pretty low to begin with I'm surprised.

The disappointment is especially on a technical level.

Clipping plane lets me see a mile or more, yet stuff like rocks appear as close as 10y, mobs usually 50-75y. And then again on the NE Coast of qualia I can see these flying things at a distance of more than 500y?
There's some really amazing graphical glitch with certain NPC hands

Sound, especially environmental effects, are often way off.
My high elf footsteps sound like some fucking ogre trampling through the woods.

And the worst thing is that I expected groups to make up for all of these issues. I was told at level 10 the grouping starts, at 10 I couldn't get any groups, then I was told it's 15. At 15 I couldn't get any groups, so I was told 20 is where it starts. Now I'm 18, still not a single group despite being LFG all the time and announcing it and I'm too fucking tired of soloing in a very mediocre game just to get to the magic level where grouping finally starts.
