Well, I gave this game a chance, but I'm finding it's just not for me. This isn't a bad thing, I just can't get into it. The reasons may surprise you though.
 
1) Game :- Combat. Now, I love the animation in this game, the graphics (which at first I thought were quite flat, even at max details) are quite bright and even crafting, its the first mmo i've been through that I have actually taken to crafting and gone out of my way to get that skill tree complete on every page. 
 
That said, I can't stand combat. To me, it feels tedious, boring and disconnected. I have tried every class except for medic and simply can't get into it. My warrior was a huge disappointment and whenever the sword hits anything, it sounds like someone tapping a spoon on top of a can of baked beans and no matter what I try and whom I listen too, I cannot find a build that tanks well enough to satisfy me . My engineer, who is going for straight up DPS, seems to tank better. 
 
This is the only thing that has let me down in game. Devs, I have enjoyed everything else and I feel no ill towards the game or its followers, it just wasn't for me, even though I wanted it to be :)
 
2) Forum :- Now, I don't know what is going on here, sure people don't see me post often but I lurk almost 24/7, But what I am seeing is quite disturbing. I don't know if it is some strange quirky rules the moderation team have to follow or that some of them are going rogue but there seems to be some HUGE favouritism going on. While one person can swear a blue streak up and down and bash the game into the ground for it not behaving exactly how they want or bash other people for having differing opinions and not have their posts moderated, others can leave constructive, polite criticism and get warned or temp banned for. I have TRIED going at this from other angles but I simply cannot understand the direction Carbine/NCsoft is going with their forum rules. 
 
This put the final nail in the coffin for me. Will I be back, yeah maybe. Like I say, I don't feel bad about the game, I just couldn't get into it. As for the forums, well, i'm barely there anyway, and I doubt this post will be left alone for long anyway.
 
Good luck all, Happy hunting! :)
