im looking for a hardcore pvp mmorpg, graphics, combat, and animations are important to me. so ive tried a lot of the popular ones and will list them so you get an idea of what i liked and didn't like.
wow, rift, guild wars 2, the secret world, archeage, star wars the old republic, tera, everquest 2, age of wushu, elder scrolls online, wildstar, eve online, blade and soul, mortal online, shroud of the avatar, aion and maybe others i cant think of.
right now my main game is gw2, i started with a thief 4 months ago and recently decided to try every class, leaving my with a love for necromancer. i love competitive play and i like options. i think the balance and arena system in gw2 is perfect however im getting burnt out and would like to try something new. wvw is fun but im not a huge zerger and i have trouble finding 1v1 or 1v2s. i have joined custom arena once in awhile to duel 1v1 which is cool and all but what im looking for is more options for pvp, at all levels (because most of my characters are mid level except gw2, eso, and archeage over summer) and maybe even some indie suggestions. battlegrounds, open world pvp, guild warfare, a structured system for small scale arena that isn't just 5v5 are on my list.
i had to try wow because of all the hype but the animations were boring and the graphics/engine weren't for me. i also noticed getting ccd in arena constantly with no way to break free and it really got on my nerves. i may be wrong but i dont get how someone can make a cc with no counter. age of wushu and aion were both kind of cool but didn't draw me completely in and i heard wushu sells skills which is kind of lame. i liked wildstar but the game is dead and i cant find any bg matches for my low 20 level character. im debating coming back to archeage, final fantasy, or the perfect world but would like some feedback and opinions first before i grind the levels for end game pvp. i have mid level characters in all 3. someone once told me you dont play final fantasy for pvp which kind of influenced me to not getting to 30 to even try. i know eso is an option soon but they wont be adding any additional pvp options and i think the 5 skill bar is a bit dumbed down. i also got into swtor recently but as soon as i hit level 20 or 30 (i forget) they threw me in matches with lvl 59s in battlegrounds which was so unbalanced.
sorry if that was to much info, any suggestions would be great, indie or not i would really appreciate it because i really do love mmos and a new passion for a game would be sick thanks!

Also, I wouldnt classify any of the games you mentioned as hardcore pvp, are you just looking for a game with pvp in it? Maybe TERA is better for you then.
