Why will you play Rift?

So I have one main question. Why will you play Rift?

I tried it for 8 hours now and I cant see how it could hold me longer. First bunch of quests looks nice but latter they become same and same again.  What annoyed me very much was quest grouping. You dont need to search for them, you dont need to read what and where you will have to do... You just take 2-5 available quests and they sure will be in same place, you go kill everything without choosing, pick up items and in 10 minutes you done, you go back turn them all in and repeat....

First 10 or so rifts were fun. But they have almost no variation. 4-5 different death rifts, 4-5 different water rifts at best. And that difference is minimal, usually bit different mobs in few stages. You just kill them and wait for next spawn-stage. Their difficulty is totall mess... Most of them doable with 2-4 people, but now there are like 20 people at each rift at beggining area, and their difficulty doesnt increase. Or few others rifts are too freaking hard and 10 people or more is not enough (mob 2-3hit kill you). So too easy or too hard, only 2 choices.

Simple pve isnt challenging and spamming 1 spell (playerd are pyromancer, fireball spell) which was given to me at lvl1 was enough to get to level 16. Of course I sometimes used different spell but that was just of boredom. Even when quests said something like that mob will be boss of all those mobs (super alligator, some ghost leader), just standing in same place  and pressing 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1... was enough to kill it. Probably havent got my hp below 60% or 70% when doing quests/killing random mobs.....

 

So why will YOU will play Rift? I am not hatting game, it just seems too simple and repetitive for me, so wondering what points of game will attract players...

It's new, it's slightly different, it's quite polished for BETA, and it's fun to play. I like it, and the longer I play it, the more it grows on me. It reminds me of WAR a little bit, and it is the best new MMO out there atm. I'm also running a fansite, so I don't have too much of a choice of other MMO's.

This, and because I haven't hit endgame in it. When that happens I'll probably quit and move elsewhere.

I'm addicted to the soul system, I love how I can avoid almost every quest and just go from rift, invasion and foothold and level all the way to cap, I really like the gameworld, the graphics, te combat. The dungeons are fantastic, the crafting while traditional has soemthing about it that I'm really enjoying. I like that when I do decide to do a quest the storyline appeals to me (guardian). I think the flexibility of the games UI is the best I've ever seen out of a vanilla version (un-modded).
