It's everywhere. Sometimes you can log on for a while, but then you are disconnected for a while. Then you reconnect and disconnect. I have a lot of issues in Colorado however, my friend in NY doesn't have as many issues. Wish they would get it sorted out and/or at least post some damn updates on their forums/twitter to let people know an ETA. I understand rocky launches, that is fine. However, this has been going on for 4 days...

Your speaking of a grind at 20?  Level 1-45 is easy mode.  Wait till you hit the 46- ~53 range.  I don't know of honestly any MMO that has fun and exciting quests, they are all the same with killing and delivering items.  You can't reinvent the wheel.  If you get board with questing, do the instances and get gear.  The game is more enjoyable with a solid 5man group of friends do to leveling excelleration and gear grinding.

Quests do get harder as you start to reach the level 48-60 range for all casters.  Possible to solo, but you get hit hard.

Trader. No point in keeping games if you have beat them plenty of times, there is no more DLC or online play is lacking.
