Vegetation needs some work

Hard to explain but right now it feels like the flowers/grass etc are not quite there.
The plants dont "blend" well into eachother and you can easily see each plant looking exactly the same as the one next to it.
Also it feels like the wind mekanic is making this even more obvious, you can really see the "layers" of vegeation, with each "layer" moving exactly the same.
They also look very sprity

Here are some Unreal assets that i think looks better.

that's not how building a game work, you need stuff that have good performance and is a good match to the game visuals

Simply, grasses need a some variance of color - from healthy to not so, and some dead parts and less vibrant in color.
Ground cover needs transitioning and bump map increase
Of course they look great! Those are high-poly photo-scanned packs generally used in scene settings, backgrounds for animation and perhaps a single-player gaming experience after significant optimization.
Lots of people don't seem to have the first clue when it comes to wrapping, materials, texturing and optimization. Using textures and materials like those listed, would make the game almost impossible to run.
This is an MMO from a small Indie studio. People's expectations are way out of whack.
