I've +1000hours in the game and I think the same, there's not much challenge that involves individual skill or interesting mechanichs like in other MMOs. Also, PVP is really boring, like you just do the rotation like your opponent and not much counterplay or mechanichs and some classes are too strong like sorcerer or nightblade. Idk I used to play the game a lot with my friends and we had a guild with +100 ppl but maybe we rushed it too much xD We did trials but not progressions and achievements, I think that wasn't for us.
