Server Bosses, Large scale PVE, Multiple Shell Fights and Dragons!

I don't think GW2 or Star Wars are going to do any better than Rift in the long run. I actually don't see another insanely successful mmo coming out until Blizzard releases their next.

Blizzard knows what people want and they aren't scared to give it to them.

Big numbers, noticeable character growth outside of grinding more jobs for more skills, gear that matters, tons of accessibility and user comforts etc.

Maybe in due time with a new man at the helm of the ship SE will move away from the design of little reward and heavy punishment.
