Look into Trion's history. It exists because of investment from SyFy. A TV series takes a very long time to produce and plan, let alone an MMO.
In many respects, Trion's raison d'etre is Defiance. Rift was merely a proof of concept.

Though the game fits what I like, I can see where you are coming from. Also, I like the cool headed approach to your conclusion; Instead of some angry hyped forum guy who wants attention. I can validly see your point.
I've been playing at least 1 month before beta 3 and I love it. Love the side missions, the hotshots, the time trials, the Episode missions are great, the main quest missions are fun.
Loving the story that's going on as well.
Hell, I even enjoy the PvP and I hate most PvP in MMO's.
The Co-Op maps are a blast.
Shadow Wars...unfortunately, haven't been able to get in one, but haven't tried much. Too busy doing quests and annihilating Arkfall's. Tired of the Hellbug Destruction one yes, but the Mother of All Bugs, Scrappers, Raiders, and 99er Arkfall's are a frackin' blast.
If you're bored, then shooters aren't really your thing. xD
That and trying to get some of the pursuits is a fun pain in the ***.
I don't plan on quitting any time soon, as this Shooter/MMO has been the most fun that I have had in a while. Sure I'm anticipating NW Online and Marvel Heroes, and occasionally step into Firefall and Smite from time to time.
All I need to do is eventually find a clan to join on PC as most of my friends have stepped out of gaming and I'm working on getting back in.
I just need to find out why I still top charts in co-op missions even while running all over mid-combat looking for achievements as to not slow down the pace of the mission... :P
THis "Rush" person.. is a flat out troll. Infact.. I'm suspecting him of being a SKAB. Why? Because he's all over these boards showing his backside, and has shown repeated a LACK OF GAME KNOWLEDGE in regards to Defiance...
Please Ladies and Gents.. don't feed the troll.. let it go back under it's bridge so the rest of us can enjoy our gaming experience.
