After playing Rift for 8 months and doing videos on the game I am SOOOO ready for SWTOR. Rift is a really good game but you end up in the same spot you were in WOW. That spot is being top level and grinding or raiding.

Rift is honestly still WOW 2.0 with Rifts. The novelty of rifts and invasions wear off very quickly. A few other problems are the devs are constantly tinkering with class balance and PVP servers are so imbalanced it's insane. Defiants outnumbering Guardians by a HUGE margin and heard most PVP Guardians have clumped on 1 single server.
