Hey,
so I  played WS back at the launch for about 2 months or even more, enjoying every moment of it and really investing tons of my time into the game. I have one lvl 50 medic on a PVP server and a level 50 warrior on a PVE server. I really spent alot of time trying to get through the attunement i just couldn't get enough dedicated people to form an actual squad of people (the guilds i've been in were falling apart). I did as much of it as i could in pubs , but still the game was starting to get boring and repetitive, people were leaving left and right, and the grind was getting really tedious. The attunement process was like a barrier, and the rewards by passing it were not worth it on my part, being without a raid guild. Also the semester started and I just couldn't invest as much time playing WS and the game really didn't have anything to offer other than imbalanced pvp and dungeons that weren't even fun anymore, to me at least.
 
So the question is, what has changed? I've read the patch notes but there doesn't seem to be anything really standing out. Is the pvp any better? When i left the matchmaking was pretty broken and the queues were long. Is there any "casual" content for me to enjoy on daily basis? I don't have the energy nor the time to get through the attunement. I'm just a casual at this point, and even though I know WS, is though out to be a hardcore mmo or something like that, there has to be something for casuals to enjoy? Or does the playerbase consist of only the 1-5% of people who either had the time, are dedicated or just that good and got to the raiding or 2000+ rating pvping. And I'm guessing the game is still a ghost town? 
 
Anyway I hope i'm not too negative in my expectations, because i really like the game. I'll check the game anyway, just want to know some things while I download.

			That's absolutely awesome then, I really was hoping I would get a reply like that. I think the main problem I was facing and was kinda hardcore is the time consumption, the movement takes skill but that wasn't really a problem, but mistakes were often made since the players weren't used playing together. I've done all the dungeons but the silver medal on the last 2 was kinda frustrating to get since if one member screwed up you actually had to redo everything. Then the game got a bit boring since all my friends left. If the attunement is less frustrating to get it done, i'll maybe give it another try. Can you buy Credd while on the trial though? I think i have about 50+ plat still sitting on one character i hope that will be enough for a month.

Yes the game is worth coming back too.
 
PVP is working more often now, and the game is getting better and better with each patch.

capital city is like the only place in the game with players.
 
considering there is only 1 instance of it... i wouldn't start jumping all around on my big horses saying the game is packed, yet. :D

			Great to hear the people are still playing, I hope my assumption was wrong, but I did play before the megaserver and the game felt really empty, I think i even played for a short period after they implemented them but It was still pretty empty, I didn't stay for a long time then so that was probably the problem. I'm playing on the EU servers so I'll probably play on the PVE since the PVP one probably has less players. I only hope they buffed the threat generation on a warrior or didn't nerf his dps too bad :D, or else i'll go for a new character.

			I am in US PvE server entity, there's always people around. A lot of time I would have multiple people spamming or talking in the zone, lfg, or pvp chat. The game have improved a lot, I know I quit for a while and came back after drop 3. PvE is a in pretty good place, dungeons, adventures, shiphands, exploration, raids, and challenges. I don't know about the RP, I don't see it too often, but I know it's around because I have some Rpers in my guild. As far as PvP, it still need some work, there's still a fraction imbalance, class imbalance, and a temporary PvP progression for those who just started. However at least for now PvP queues are getting better, I usually wait between 5-15 mins per queue. They have a 10 day free trial, check it out and if you like it resub!

Well, threat got a bit of a buff, but the new gear is HARD on the main stat.   So our support power blew up.  I haven't had issues holding threat since Drop 4 at least.
----
			Warriors are tops in DPS and solid tanks. I have a warrior alt that I use to tank stuff and it's a lot of fun. It's not like it was back in the day.

Warriors never had a problem threat wise after they gave 25% more threat on the most used abilities. The problem always has been not bringing anything else to the table in form of debuffs. It is still so, but warriors are great tanks nonetheless. Not sure is they can actually take the most punishment, but wouldn't be surprised if it is so.
 
Dps wise warriors are monsters and they are getting a deserved nerf in the future. At least that is what their class design lead has said. They have been the top dog for too long and there has even been a big revision patch to warrior dps skills and they still let them be where they were. They are resilient for a dps class, they have the best raid buff in the game, they do insane damage both aoe and single target and they have great selection of interrupts and do not forget about defensive grid which is a massive help in raids on certain bosses. "But they are melee" Yeah whatever I mained a warrior before changing to spellslinger and now I'm doing alt raids on my warrior and I can safely say from experience that being a melee is not a excuse to anything in this game
 
The class has too much. Sorry for being off topic.
 
Anyways I'm on EU PvE Jabbit and I migrated there from PvP Luminai which nowadays is a complete ghost town because everyone moved to PvE server. Now that the EU population is gathered in one place I can say safely say it's healthy for playing the game. Exiles have more players, but it's all good for dominion side also.

Yes,
 
I'm having the most fun I've had in an mmo in years in this game.  The dungeons really test you, the raids are hard and require team effort, the pvp is pretty good(now), and the game mechanics are just frickin fun.
 
Wildstar is a good game that will only get better.

			I just bought Credd, created a new character on the exile side since I don't feel like playing tank or a healer anymore. I forgot just how awesome this game really is, hoping I can get lvl 50 as fast as possible and jump into trying to get through the attunement. Since only bronze medals are required I don't think it will take as much time as before. It's really awesome the community is still active and helping and encouraging old players to return back to the game, thank you guys.

Hey there,
 
This game is far from dead! I've also experienced it as a struggle for a long time but i think it's picking up.
You might want to move your medic to a PVE server though, because i think the pvp servers are still quite empty. (can't confirm)
If you want to find out a little bit more about the current state of the game, check out my review about drop 4 that i made here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMvFkfPDlm4
 
I have to add that they had a small pvp QoL update last week, so people are actually pvp-ing a bit more than i make out to be in my review (which was made right before that update)
Can't tell what effect it will have on the long run though.
 
If  there are any questions feel free to ask.
 
Enjoy !

Coming back from wow after a 6 month break, i'm very pleased with the improvements wildstar has now  :)
 
I'm very disappointed by the new wow xpac, the game has become a bigger cashcow than it ever was, devs don't care about the game anymore, browser game and twitter function instead of actual content - no thanks. So I guess I resub after the free 10 days  :D
