I have left world of warcraft, from playing straight for 3 years to Rift recently and I can honestly say I have no ill feelings towards this game.
Its similar to wow in some regards that I like that MMO's must have, but different alot too and the dailies are yet another example.
I play what I like and right now its Rift and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I haven't done a daily quest in Rift (aside from the daily random Warfront) for about a year now, and I'm a serious min-maxer. They just aren't needed beyond a few minor runes.
there are dailies as people have said but they are not the sole way to get rep, killing the relevant mobs gives rep, also some fish can be handed in for rep upgrading local area turrets on ember isle give rep general quests give rep rifts give rep, you get the picture if you like a rep grind but dont want to have to do the same daily every day to get to the end you dont have to
