I am not gonna right a long story but here is my reasons:
1. I never really see a lot of players. I even moved my character to a busier server but still feels a bit dead. looked at other MMO's I play and finding groups and seeing a lot of players is always abundant.
2. Gear seems to look standard all around. Maybe I haven't reached high enough levels, but I just don'feel that unique in the game when ever I see other players.
3. The game feels too much like a single player, and the story actually eats a lot of time. I love the fact of the full speach but I want to turn it off at times, so I can have a quick text option and grind (space baring through the conversations is annoying), and an auto light / dark question answer etc... I really want to move through the game to get to end raids etc... but it feels like it takes forever just because I have all these full speach convo's that I can't disable.
4. Lack of Addons. Addon's make a huge difference to the game, and maybe I was spoiled in WoW. However, simple things like healer addons, and XP management tools, damage meters etc etc all made the WoW better game, and it was publicly made, so if one addon was crap you usually could find another better one.
5. Achievement/Codex system is so messy. I NEVER USE it. Don't mean to compare this to WoW, but so much easier to track achievements and track game progress.
6. Too many areas are instance. Also when I team up with the same class it seperates us. If we allow the option to go into the same instance, we still have to do it twice to finish quests for both players. Broken I think.
There is so much more, but after a few months of this game (with my time diminishing every time I play - loosing interest) I almost feel like it could have been released as a Single player game. I go through most of the game solo so far, and besides one or two instances (not dungeons) never seem to need a budy.
I am still going to keep playing etc etc in he hope that it gets better... It just feels like that the game is so excellent, but the UI/Gameplay is just not up to spec somehow, Instances for story line is annoying, amount of players always seems low...
