Better combat than WoW by a lot. Twitchy action combat is way more immersive and fun. Better endgame than GW2. Overall I like GW2 a lot more because of the cooperative gameplay and graphics but that is a matter of taste.

I want to agree and say this is all correct except there is absolutely no endgame yet so???

We haven't seen it, correct. Be we do know that GW2 had none and that 3 months ago the devs of Wildstar indicated that they had 60% of their resources dedicated to max level content.. so anything > nothing.
I am expecting it to be the same as level 60 in Vanilla WoW.. it is the same team and they have done a lot of similar things with the rest of the game so I expect the scope of the max level content at launch to be similar (though it sounds like they are going with 2 raids which is slightly better than the MC only launch...)
Basically, what the guys above have said. The combat is fun, the world is the most enjoyable for me since Vanilla WoW. The leveling is quest /grind driven, though I believe you can pvp up as well (have not tried it personally though).
All in all, it is a well rounded game and as they have been saying pretty much all along, WoW 2.0 and a worthy successor at that.

Only thing I don't like about the quests so far is that they treat you like you're the hero. I always just liked being some guy helping the actual game's heroes out, not THE hero. You can't be THE hero in a theme park MMO.
I do like the quests where I contribute resources to get stuff built. That's pretty cool.
The combat is fun as hell, too.

Seems more of not the feeling being "THE" hero but get the feeling you're 1 of thousands of "heroes". Which fits the basic lore of "Ripe planet found and thousands flock to it to try and claim it". In sense just feels like you are a soldier, at least dominion side, probably not the same feeling on exile.

on the exile side, everytime you go to thayd your greeted by "hey, its the hero of [insert starter zone]!".
Will probably be Dominion on release.
I kind of want to ask them to put collection quests from EverQuest II in this game. It just seems like they'd... Fit.

Yeah but that's the fucking worst. I don't know why people are excited to play that... and as long as people keep buying and supporting shitty MMO's, developers will keep churning them out.

This game is designed to be played at the end. This is, theoretically, the anti-SWTOR.
If you fucks cry about leveling not being immersive, intensive, or long enough on the forums I will be really pissed.

the question does exist though, if your going to do leveling poorly why do it at all?

They sucked balls in Rift though, not sure why they are so awesome in EQ II.

Who says its poorly? I can understand not liking the quest hub design, but that doesn't mean that design was done poorly.
This is completely irrelevant to what was said, I don't care about immersion or length of levelling. Shitty is shitty.
Edit: Replace shitty with mediocre if you're going to get butthurt and defend the game "it's exactly what I expected it to be, hurrr"
I think because you could get items for your house and what not. Displaying your collection items was the shit. Since Wildstar has housing, this would work really well in Wildstar.
