So i just started to play the game and im already kinda bored. I just reached lvl 15 and i just don't like the pace of the game. Im playing a engineer because i  liked the idea of a ranged tank. I really like the combat system as such with the dodging and the usefulness to actually interrupt casts but all in all the combat just seems very slow and unrewarding. Also the huge walking distances between quest objectives is starting to take a toll on me.
 
Does the killspeed get better or do i play the wrong class? Is it gonna get worse? i heard the game gets way more challenging after hitting lvl 40 or something. But i fear this means that  the npcs just have a higher health pool and that the combat just takes longer and you have to stay focused longer.
 
Cheers

I can't speak for others obviously but leveling 1-40 is pretty damn boring, the thirties were my hurdle to get through, and seems to speed up 40 plus.  Eventually you will have a mount, I would go pick that up to speed up the process.  Engineer is fairly easy to level compared to the other classes (unless your bot decides to go off and pull a prime), your spread of aoe dmg + bots makes mob grinding the quests a breeze.
 
Right now you don't have a mount, or all your ability slots filled, & amps/ability points gained through levels so you will feel pretty weak til you make those gains.
Also make sure you are equipping the right stats for your role too, if you're running around with tank/support gear on killing will go slow.
 
Kill Speed does get better, and if you need a break from click this, kill this, collect this, hit up pvp for some extra xp/loot win or lose.
 
Hope this helps~

			Engineers are terrible early on. They start to bloom at level 25 and attain great power at level 35. It only gets better from there.

If you don't have a mount at level 15, please install the 2 step verification. This will get you a free mount and protect your account. I believe a guide is pinned at the top of this forum.
 
EDIT: there is also a thread from developers about it here https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/94417-new-mount-available-with-2-step-verification/

I highly suggest you run the level 15 adventure and the two level 20 dungeons before you make a final decision on this game.  That's what sold the game for me when I tried it out in beta.
 
Also, most classes get much better at level 25 when you can get some of your abilities to T4 with ability points.

I actually loved every part of the game I've played so far, but I can say this, the starting arkship zones are the low points, a few of the zones are a little big before you get a mount (make use of taxis when you can and get 2 factor authentication, either on your phone or for Windows, to get a free mount at 15), and around 20-25 is when all the classes start to get fun and the enemies start to get really nasty, even in leveling.
 
Try Stormtalon's Lair once you hit 20.  That'll get you up to speed on some normal difficulty stuff.

Few things you can do:
Get a mount( you can get a free one with authenticator set up) now that you're 15.
Level 15 is when you get to do your first adventure
Try some battle ground PvP as well to break up the pace too if you haven't
You also get your house at level 14, so maybe take a little break and play with your house for a bit.
Have you tried doing the Shiphand yet?(steady traveler) If so did you try getting a group to scale it up? it gets pretty fun with a group of folks in there as opposed to soloing(still fun).
