Why WildStar Will Be Practically Dead Within 2-4 Years!

I was thinking of giving this game a chance but I realized it would simply be a waste of time. WoW just seems like the better game to play, the main reason is it has been out a lot longer and has so much more content and an upcoming expansion. Fantasy MMORPG's are evolving and moving beyond the traditional generic EQ/WoW type gameplay and WildStar is nothing but a complete WoW clone with slightly different gameplay, it is nothing revolutionary, it is just a different take on the same formula.
Wildstar, being a sci-fi mmo with Fantasy MMO like classes (Warrior etc), I don't think it is worth playing at all, better games with better graphics like Everquest next will be released within 1-2 years and the upcoming WoW expansion will add even more content and new features to an already established MMO.
Just watch, once EQ:Next, Project Titan, Warhammer 40.000: Eternal Crusade, Black Desert Online and The Repopulation are released, generic crap like WildStar and ESO will have a major decline in player numbers and Project Titan will be the final nail in the coffin for these rip off generic MMO's. All the MMO's I listed have innovative features and Project Titan will for sure.
I will enjoy watching WildStar and ESO die when these games are released, it is 2014, making these pieces of Junk generic MMO's with little changes to an already repetitive formula that over 1000 MMO's have followed is simply unacceptable, out with the old and in with the new.
ESO AND WILD STAR CAN BURN, by late 2017, these games will be practically dead and a 4 year life cycle for a MMO is pretty pathetic, considering a way less popular game like Star trek Online (a game I currently play) has been going since 2010 now with constant content updates and probably has a good 10 years left with it, why? The core player base is dedicated while the core player base in WS are mostly former wow players and it is the same with ESO (partially) once you all see these better MMO's released, the player decline with these 2 games will be massive. The type of people who are playing ESO and Wildstar are not die hard fans of the lore/universe (more so with Wildstar than ESO), these are the type of people who have all played WoW and other MMO's in the past, once they see something way better, they will neglect ESO and Wildstar, leading these games to their coffin.
Would love to see Wildstar and ESO die like Tabula Rasa but I should not get my hopes up. Still, I bet the servers will close for both these games within 6 years, the new MMO's indevelopment (ones I listed above) are simply gonna destroy these games and steal their player base and with a behemoth like blizzard releasing project Titan, probably in late 2017 or early 2017, then there is simply no hope for ESO and Wildstar!

As a alternative for the wall of text:
"I like Blizzard and WoW more then anything else."
"going into arguments with idiots is a lost cause, it requires you to stoop down to their level and you can't win"
Yup, the games that have not released yet are always the best !
The ones that haven't even released their feature lists yet (project Titan) will be unbelievably awesome !
It is Known.
You actually think Project Titan will be out the next 5 years? I kinda doubt it.
As for Wow having more content, that is of course true but Everquest got even more content, unless Blizzard make a newa serious revamp of Wow (and that means seriously modding the engine) it will become older and slowly continue to loose players. Age is the enemy of getting new players for a MMO and Wow is 10 years this year.
Wildstar is still to early to really determine and where it will be in a few years is impossible to tell yet but whatever happens Wow wont be on top forever. I would be very surprised if Wow 2 wont be announced in that time though at that have of course almost limitless possibilities though (even though I doubt we see that out before 2020).
I had fun once, it was terrible.
No matter how good an mmo is, it doesn't kill off other mmos. Wow is proof of this. Games like lotro, STO, AOC etc are all still around despite wow and it's 12 million subs rolling past.
The only way wildstar will be dead in 2-4 years is if the company mismanages it so badly that it drives all its customers away or if they pull another CoH and just shut it down. I don't really see that happening in that short of a time frame.
OP
I don't care what type of MMORPG's ESO/Wildstar, etc are. The more MMO's always better for us the gamers. Still, I have refused to spend $ on any new MMO since DCUO. I can only vote with my wallet in what direction the future this genre is headed. Even if I had millions in my bank account I would not support MMORPG that do not aim to be better than what's already available or in the past.
WOW is a mediocre game at best, yet I've been enjoying it for good years over the decade. I disagree with a lot of choices Blizzard has done with it, but yet most likely I'll buy the expansion only because for me nothing significant has come after it and it deserves the credit.
Agree
Despite i played a lot of WoW during the last 10 years and had some special moments, the game is at most mediocre anymore.
I like WS and i m having great fun. On the other hand i don't like ESO because its not my cup of tea, but if i was to choose between WoW and ESO i would go with ESO easily.
I cant stand WoW anymore. I got sick of it. I want some more and new features in my mmo, but even if i was to have the same that WoW offers i would prefer to have them by another game.
*Btw who cares if WS or ESO will be dead after 2 or 4 years? I m playing WS and i m having a blast. Same for ppl who play ESO. So who cares?

I don't understand people wishing for some games for its demise. How low are you? Jesus!. Honestly as much as I hate some of the games, I wouldn't wish for them to go 6 feet under, that's just messed up. Instead I wish for them to improve the game. Either the OP is insanely prejudice, or maybe never tried the game.
Please oh please op can you show me this awesome list of features that titan has, because clearly you must be in the know to say that it will be the final nail in the coffin.
But why not just a bit further, titan will kill EVERY mmo out there, so ok guys,i would like to put on the post the official
"can i haz your stuff" to EVERY MMO OUT THERE just because the OP thinks that a game will kill other games.
Until you can provide me with any single FACT then i suggest you walk on by and keep your opinions to your facebook page
This post is all my opinion, but I welcome debate on anything i have put, however, personal slander / name calling belongs in game
where of course you're welcome to call me names im often found lounging about in EvE online.

There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

Your clearly trollish, hyperbolic thread was already reported enough times when I tried to report it that I know it'll be seen to by a mod and locked. However, I still wanted to reply before that happened by highlighting the illogical parts (oh, and your entire post can be summed up in the orange highlighted area).
You start a thread by stating that you didn't even give the game a chance, didn't even play or try it. Then you continue the post by exaggerated claims of it being generic, a "WoW clone", and -your worse crime- lumping it into comparison with the feature incomplete TESO. And then your thread continues for like 5 additional paragraphs where you fanboyishly fawn over potential future games (which we have no idea how those will play out at all) while wishing over and over again that Wildstar will die and burn. You. Are. Wrong.
Though you didn't mind wasting your time writing quite a large post for a game you don't care for.
Funny,
WS was supposed to die in 6 month now we are talking about 2-4 years....
i wonder why....
The OP is a nutjob. If you take a look through some of his 23 posts, he berates ESO and says he's glad he never subbed or used his own money, then on another thread, he's moaning about how much he paid for the game.
He is bigging up World of Warcraft on some threads and calling it World of Warcrap on others.
Bit of a Schitzo-troll.
I feel sorry for him.
I love a good wildstar hate thread hahahah
@OP: Meanwhile entire guilds are moving en masse from WoW to WildStar. Not necessarily because the later is so much better than the former but mainly because Blizzard has left the game without new content for a quite prolonged period of time, in September said period will be one (!) year. They have done this in the past but this time i do not think that they will get away with it without some serious damage.
Some may believe that once the new expansion goes live players will abandon Nexus and rush to Draenor. Think again because WildStar launched with the complete package. Dungeons, adventures, raids, battlegrounds, arenas and their highly advertised Post-Cap Playspace which has tons of features both for solo and group play. Plus the game is very polished right from start. All this translates to staying power.
When WoD comes many of the aforementioned guilds will already be deep into the 20 or 40 man raiding process. If the raid environment is as polished as the rest of the game i really don't think that they will just pack bags and go back to mama Blizzard.
stopped reading after the marked text.
if you write an essay you want people to read, at least check the game you wanna comment about.
