Please, enlighten us to all the innovative things WoW has over Rift and other games
Phasing exists in Rift, from doing dailies to current content with the Storm Legion invasions in Sanctum and Meridian
No need for cross realm phasing to disguise the fact that 99.9% of a WoW's server population sit on their mounts in Stormwind and Orgrimmar, Rift's open world is thriving with up to five full 20-man groups running around the lowbie zones doing Instant Adventures, doing zone events, there is always a reason for people to be out in the open World and not just sitting in the cities
Anyhow, please keep listing all the features you think WoW has or does better than Rift, i'd be very interested..unless of course you mean the concept of Scenarios and Challenge modes that were 'borrowed' from Rift? surely not
