He seems to think it's a slow boring game.

Its a little basic. He has focussed on the mining which true is a part
of the game, but if you don't like mining try something else out.
Although I would agree at the moment mining is possibly the most
profitable occupation early on and as such Eve Greed kicks in and can
push you that way.
Although building can also be profitable as can trading if you get it
right. Combat can also gain you rares that you wouldn't otherwise gain
except through trading...you get the idea he just didn't go into a lot
of detail that he should have done.
Also he is bang off on the skills system. Correct in that a skill takes
no skill to train, but that's not the point the skill is in
understanding and using the various skills to better your character.
That and how the ship items can interact can ensure that a poorly
created larger ship will have trouble against a smaller ship.
The skills system also is the first attempt at ensuring that Uber
players don't just run away from you by playing much more and as such it
works well at this. Also bear in mind that other offline activities such
as market and courier missions all exist
Browsing the player comments appear to cover most items. Negative
comments and positive comments are worth taking into account.
So simplistic would be my comment :)
Out of interest the first review gamespot did on this game they marked
even lower and then pulled the review as the reviewer had obviously not
played the game.
PC Gamer UK and PC Zone UK both gave the game very high scores, with the
PC Zone reviewer still playing the game a month after his review.

All I know is that I'm having a blast with it. Mining is boring, sure. So
I don't and never have spent much time with it. Pirate hunting,
experimenting with weapon loadouts, doing a little trading, a little
manufacturing, there's enough variety to keep it interesting, and I'm
making enough progress to find it rewarding.
I've played several MMORPG. This is the most fun I've had in any of them
since the tailoring skill in the original UO was first nerfed.
