You quoted some one saying that people will max lvl as soon as possible and then quit within 30 days because there's nothing to do.
Leveling and exploring the world has been my favorite part of every MMO I have played since EQ. Every game after that figured out that leveling consisting of sitting in one spot and repeatedly killing stuff was less than what it could be and opted for a more curated experience in that regard, i.e. quest hubs and disguised grinds. Even SWTOR wasn't too bad until I neared max level and swore if I had to run 5 min through another shitty spaceport I was going to drive to Austin and punch someone in the face. Once I max a character out, though, I generally alt it up again; its the exp/level/statquest gain that I enjoy. By the time POP hit, I was so done with x mandatory nights a week of DKP Guild Drama BS that it has really killed my desire to take part in any real hardcore endgame participation. On that score, GW2 max-level mindless zerg of zerging zergerginess is exactly what I want my involvement with raids to be.
Supposedly you're going to be getting xp for pvp as well. They do seem to be allowing for some alternatives to the quest treadmill.
Nope. Chances are if word of mouth stays where it is, I will buy a collector's edition, play and level at least a couple of characters to max, and explore the various parts of Nexus. The classes look fun, the combat looks interesting, and the world looks to be worth exploring. There is a ton to do besides end-game raids, and I don't really even mind those as long as I don't have to put up with drama_guild_001 to do it, or commit x numbers of hours a week. In the end, like most MMOs these days, it will be a fun six months or so, less if there are long starports to run through.
GW2 has buy orders and a global AH as well as being able to use it anywhere in the game, just have to visit a broker to pick up your spoils.
Can't put enough emphasis on this. Wildstar is a quest hub game; anyone who doesn't enjoy that style of gameplay will hate the game. There are a crazy amount of quests to do - we're talking vanilla WoW + BC worth to hit max level. The exp earned doing 'other things' isn't viable to level up on (this includes PVP & what little zone events there are).
GW2 has it as well. Unless I decide to recycle, every drop I get gets sold there.
He probably means 1-15 NDA which they lifted for a few players and "journalists" to stream.
I dont know about vanilla wow but in WS you can def grab quests in other areas. Its a little bit more complicated because you also get tasks based on being a settler, explorer, or soldier etc which are in those areas as well.
In so far as Vanilla wow had a lot less bread crumbs to the point where people would often ask "where should I go to level now?" and people would answer with 3-4 zones to choose from, and you could and often times would go back and forth between zones, it's nothing like that.
