Don't worry, the only 'sandbox' in EQN is undoubtedly the litter tray used by the kerrans.
The point about the game being a bit similar to GW2 seems appropriate, it does sound like SOE are trying to copy Arenanet, not a good thing imo, and i doubt GW2 players are likely to jump ship anyway, and certainly not for EQN.
But to get back to the original, i don't see EQN as being anything other than a Themepark game, and probably not a particularly good one
I don't know what will make you guys happy when it comes to sandbox...let me guess..'nothing'. Every single upcoming Sandbox is being s*** upon by same people who have been crying for sandbox on these very forums for years.
As far as copying GW2 is concerned. Does GW2 have destructible world? 3 tier of underground exploration? 40 classes which can be acquired only by exploring the world? can you slide down the mountains, swing, jump and roll parkour style while exploring the world in GW2? does GW2 have player housing and buildings?
Only because both EQN and GW2 have dynamic events (even though EQN's dynamic events seems to be lot longer and elobarate) doesn't mean it is trying to copy GW2.
4 weapon skills based on equipped weapon, and 4 'class skills' but hey, keep paddling.
So that makes it not a sandbox in your opinion OK.......
Your just basically ignoring all the other features that actually do though right?

And your point is? this makes it a themepark and clone of GW2? i like how you ignored all the things i mentioned and jumped on '4 skills'. Convenient.
This is why we can never have good things. Sandbox crowd is most obnoxious and unpleasant crowd to please.
the point was that if what you can do with your characters is the same, then the rest is just scenery, not really relevant. You'd have to be more than a little blinkered not to see the similarities between EQN and GW2, and for the record i am definitely not a fan of GW2 nor do i play it. Probably for the same reasons i no longer have any real interest in EQN.
