Everyone plays Sith right? Why would you not?

I played this at launch, used my free month. It has a really good single player progression story type thing. Not like WoW where you just run up to a guy that has an Exclamation mark and click accept without reading the stupid wall of text. This game has lots of little cut scenes during main progression missions. Good stuff. But, it's just another MMO. :( WILDSTAR!!!

I think the general consensus was that the Imperial Agent story was the best written one, I never finished it though, the cutscenes and dialogue in general was really good, but the gameplay wasn't fun at all, especially when you had played an urgent mission (according to the plot) up to the boss only to realize you had to grind for a few hours before you could take him on, walked back and saw all enemies having respawned and other players fighting their way up to the same point.

If you make a story heavy MMO you need to actually acknowledge that there are more than one person playing the mission, rather than having all that "only you can do this" stuff, unless you actually go and instance it to separate the players, seeing ten other guys doing that thing only you can do doesn't really help you inhabit the character and the world you play in.
