I'm amazed and grateful that the game is still up and running after all these years, that's my main thought about the state.
It's a bit of a shame that some improvements or changes to skills/builds/classes won't really be made anymore. Even if the mods "of the <profession>" actually did a great job of changing things up.
My biggest hope is they just say screw it and give monks better smite ability by bumping up damage and decreasing energy costs, that anniversary PvE elite was so bad.
