I have to agree with boo and andy. I am only a VIP4. Yet I am in almost the exact same situation as Andy.

The most interesting thing do do was the blockade. It gave me something to coordinate with my guild mates. Many of us were having a blast. We had people with 3m power who normally never complete a sail, get 3 completed sails in a day. But too many people complained and that is now back to boring.

Progression is TOO SLOW.
When I add 5m power and still can't beat the quest boss I am on, something is just wrong.
