Warcraft is a copy of Warhammer, and Warhammer Online is a copy of World of Warcraft. Hence, it's basically a copy of a copy, setting-wise. It's simply not dark enough, not brutal enough. It's like a Saturday morning version of the Warhammer universe.

Plus WoW's 'balancing' of PvE and PvP was never really there. It simply can't be done. I'm not sure why Mythic thought they could do it, and with an IP like Warhammer it should never have been attempted. It would have made a great hardcore PvP game, got that modest base, and done fine. But no, they went with the 'WoW-killer' model, and paid the price.

I don't feel sorry for them.

I could give 2 shakes if the game is "dark and brutal" enough. What I care about is the game is BOOOORRRRING at end game. I wanted to RVR at the end yet I am mostly sitting around waiting with little or nothing else to do. We get LOTD and makes it even worse. oRVR is fading more and more daily and it's because they don't address the aoe CC/stun issues or even class balance problems.

I've given up and moving to Aion and hope they got decent end game RVR.
