Some thoughts from the 2013-24-07 ptr 5.4 patch notes.
Just on the things I cared about or which stuck out for me. May change as the PTR progresses, and may change when included in the live game.
This is another interesting article that has since vanished from the web, so I’m posting it up here.

A MMO whose defining qualities are its maturity, user base and low system-requirements.
Recently focusing entirely on endgame, to the detriment of all earlier content. Instead of improving the game in measurable ways, its developers use desperate psychology to string along its user base. DO NOT PLAY unless you’re already playing. Then DO NOT STOP.
Once anything comes along that’s decent, haul ass and bring everyone with you. Consider, for example, Guild Wars 2 – (2012 game).
