 Wildstar is a great game but yet many people fear its future. A fair assumption would be to say most MMORPG players are only willing to be playing one or maybe 2 and very few 3 at the time. With so many great titles out there, and so little know about wildstar the question remains as to why would anyone join wildstar? Here is the first problem WS is suffering from; no matter how great of a game WS it just can't compete with WoW or EVE or ESO on getting new player interest. The main problem here is falls under marketing and the WS story its just not big enough or know enough.  
 
The second problem was a failed launch. WS had a great hype to it but just couldn't live up to it, and now even though wildstar is at a great level for a mmorpg its not well know and most people aren't willing to give a mmorpg a second chance, especially because the progress of wildstar is not marketed out there only currently players know whats going on. 
 
Third drop hypes are lost with the amount of time waiting. Most drops took around 3-4 months to come out with almost all available information on the ptr. The problem with this is by the time to drop actually came out it wasn't that impressive and players were hungry for more. The same mistake is being made with the free to play anyone that read about it and has gone on the WS website is probably really angry that WS will only be ftp in a couple of months from now. Which is killing all the momentum it gained. 
 
Four attument; takes for ever and almost nothing is gained from it especially World bosses. Many player got bored and left once they reach the attument phase. I would make attument just finish vet adventure and dungeons that it. It also kills the desire of making alts since attuning a char is suck a bloody pain.
 
Five is the restrictions on ftp player it makes it seem as WS is a pay to win game by not allowing ftp players to make a guild and inv players to there guilds. This will scare off many players. 
 
Six many mmorpg are currently taking out expansions as to WS is not, and the truth is expansions tell player that the game is in a "good" place the fact that ws doesn't have one or is currently planing one makes WS seem like it is failing compared to other games. 
 
Seven classes are very limited to a couple builds, most powers on any given class are not being used since every class has one or two build. This makes the game doll players should get to choose the way they want to player there class. 
 
My recommendations before the next drop and the ftp launch: First of all get a better marketing team this is a must if WS wants to make it in the type of game, also take out quick and fun videos explaining WS races, history and story. The truth is most gamers don't want to read pages of pages of story when looking for a new game. Fix attument and make World Bosses an option not a must, also add a ton of cool to bosses and adventures and dungeons such as unique dyes, mounts, and costume, which have a low drop rate so players farm them. Kill all restrictions to new ftp players and let them enjoy the greatness of the game, focus on making money by selling pets, dyes, costumes, mounts, etc. Make this "drop" and expansion add a couple raids and maybe a class or a race or two this will massively spike the interest of new players, and will make old players consider giving WS a second chance. Also make stop locking classes to 1 or 2 builds make powers more equal to others so players can start playing their classes the way the like. My last suggestion would be to consider making WS a mature game by adding some blood and curse words, this would make the game much funner and lets face it every 12-17 year old would much rather play and rated M game then a teen. Not to mention every one that is 18+
