Bought this game last night....just uninstalled...
 
Mods will probably delete this before anyone reads it but that is fine.
 
Wildstar is hands down, the WORST mmorpg i have ever played and i have played them all.
 
Less than 1 year out and we have two whole servers left? 
 
The places i went were ghost towns, the combat system while nice for a change gets annoying quickly.
 
Game looks worse than WoW yet runs horribly
 
My PC
 
Nvidia 970
i7 2600 (yes the cpu is not the newest)
8Gb ram
 
Maybe i am just not good at the game.  
Maybe it gets better past level 15 (when i quit
 
But for an mmorpg to have only two servers and such a low population after only 7 months on the market is not a good sign.

A few things:
 
The combat system is the best, applauded by many people
The graphics are way more demanding then WoW, partiall due the game not being optimised
Your CPU is really the bottleneck, this game is more CPU intensive then GPU due all calculations
2 MegaServers you mean. All servers got consolidated into one.
What time and faction did you play? Cause I've seen many new people running around in low level zones
And trust me, you haven't played every MMO out there.
 
Obviously the game is not for you, so good luck in World of Recyclecraft.

My PC can run Dragon Age Inquisition on max 55-60fps so my PC can handle a tough game..
 
So Wildstar was not optimized well?	
----
			
Also, 
 
My CPU may not be "new" but it is still a beast
 
http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-4790K-vs-Intel-Core-i7-2600
 
 
i would think an MMORPG would do best if it ran on weaker PCs better.  if you are telling me my top of the line (in 2011) i7 CPU is a bottleneck in Wildstar, you people have really dropped the ball.  	
----
			You do realize that the graphics in this game are much more detailed than those of WoW? Additionally, there's this little thing called obsolescence, which you're running into with your processor. I'm not saying it's completely obsolete, but the top of the line 3 years ago is not that great in today's terms. My computer, from a build 5 years ago, with one graphics card upgrade in the interim, runs at almost max settings and 50-60 FPS in almost all circumstances.	
----
			
That's odd, I have the exact same CPU and a worse graphic card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133500&cm_re=pny_770-_-14-133-500-_-Product)
 
...I run smoothly at 40-60FPS even while running Fraps. 
 
- Is your PC up-to-date? Are your graphic drivers updated?
- Did you change any settings in your nvidia control pannel? (Best to leave things on application-controlled)
 
Like Olivar mentioned, you were most likely playing during non-peak hours (and possibly on the PvP server). The PvE servers have a much higher population.
Unfortunately, the state of PvP right now isn't the greatest and a lot of people left, waiting for fixes that are supposed to come in Drop 5 (We're currently on Drop 3, awaiting Drop 4 in 1-2 weeks).
However, there has been an influx of new and returning players as a ton of PvE and casual content is being added, so if I were you, stick around, level some more (maybe try out different classes until you find the playstyle you like best and who knows!)
 
The best content really is at level 50, so trust me, you haven't seen much at all yet ;) this game is worth playing.

wildstars combat system has been awarded by the game awards last year (source) ..just to mention that^^
the game is graphically intense because there are a lot of small particle effects everywhere running on lowest graphic (dont turn the resolution down) will do wonders and the game still looks pretty good even with everything on low.
the servers have been merged into megaservers a bit ago..sadly the pvp megaserver is in a bad state so most people are on the pve megaserver on exile side (entity for na jabbit for eu).
 
currently there are a lot more players around on primetime (6pm-2am). you might also wanna find a guild, the game is not easy for a new guy.
if you are interrested in lore and the really cool story of nexus (and those evil chuas) then the lvling will be for you..later around lvl 35 the story starts to evolve a lot into a really cool direction reaching its climax (yet) in a lvl 50 zone.
while lvling you are able to do shiphands (some fun missions for solo play), at primetime you can try to get a dungeon to pop (most people are lvl 50^^) but expect that you will wipe a lot and get frustrated..you can also do adventures if they pop at primetime^^.
at lvl 50 you are going to be able to do veteran shiphands (coming in a patch in the next 1-2 weeks), veteran adventures, veteran dungeons, genetic archives (20 man raid) and datascape 20 man raid (datascape is currently 40 man but will be resized to 20 man in the next patch).
the veteran dungeon versions are not just a copy paste with a bit harder hitting mobs those are completely new dungeons with different mechanics and fun stuff coming around.
while pvp itself is broken currently (class unbalance and lag of a good matchmaking system) it actually is fun dont be too frustrated we got some short term fixes that helped with queue times so gear unbalance is a big factor atm (we will see the fix hopefully at drop 5 - 3-4 month from now probally)
eitherway the game is great its a lot better then most games i played

OK.  i will give it another shot.  Letting it download while i sleep.
 
i am on the PvE server, was Dominion...kinda dark and depressing...i'll try Exile

Wildstar has won awards for its combat style - so sorry son, you be wrong about that part
 
I run an intel i5 3.30gz, Nvidia 650 Ti GTX, 8gb RAM and have the game on max settings and have no problem running it. 
 
If you're gonna play the game during 9am-5pm GMT, of course it's gonna be quiet. Most are at school/work.
 
1-15 really is more like an extended tutorial at the moment - gets better the higher you get. In saying that, they are adding more content for lower levels and rewards for pugging dungeons. 
 
Don't mean to be blunt, but I think you have been far too hasty in calling the game rubbish and uninstalling just after lvl 15. The game is slightly different from the norm and just takes a little bit of time to get used to. 
 
If you're exile and on Jabbit, hopefully see you around :)

Also, you're using an I7.
Please disable HyperThreading for that thing. WildStar's performance is bottlenecked when HyperThreading is enabled.	
----
			
huh, did not know that about Hyperthreading.  
 
Thanks for the tip :D

Sorry to hear you've not had an enjoyable experience so far. I've edited your title (and removed the duplicate posts) to make it a bit clearer what your thread is about.
 
Hopefully the tips from the other posters will help improve performance, you'll meet a few more folks on the PvE Servers and maybe Exile's will be more your kind of thing.

			can't imagine what your problem is, considering I can deal with how the game runs, and my processor runs at 1.3 ghz, and is made by a company called Sempron. Ever heard of 'em? There's a reason fer that.

Stop the evil Exile propaganda!
I've played the starter zone, I've seen the atrocities those Mordesh commit.
And they call us Chua evill.......

Most of us have 4+ cores at the moment so it's kinda of in the past optimize a game for 1 core... 
It's most likely too late now to optimize the engine fully but they may be able to run different things on different cores.	
----
			
i wanna complain about stuff that is irrelevant as well!!!! Chuas are furry, this game sucks! The moon comes up, so i have no FPS! I saw cheese wearing a hat, so no one was online!
 
Does that about cover it?

Population is indeed an issue, but they're working on it and drop 4 hopefully will change that a bit.
 
As for the rest your couldn't be more wrong, the combat system is beyond good (even though some players left as they found it too demanding), and if you don't mind the cartoonish style the graphics are beautiful!
 
Give it a longer try, play your free month, you're too fast at drawing conclusions ;)
