Tried it and stopped after a month. The main issue is there is no progression, your capped at what ever the level is for whatever your doing so gear has less meaning and since you can use any build you want at any time you never really get to obtain new abilities that you get excited for when leveling. The leveling up trees are meh as far as character investment are.
Basically everything can kicks your ass at any time. Use ability 1 then 2 then 3 and if X happens use X and X repeat over till you kill your target. The fluid combat is nice but everything just becomes a standard routine like WoW.
I also played when the game first game out so there were a lot of bugs and broken quests. A LFG function would have been nice as finding people to help out in story dungeons was difficult (guess WoW spoiled me)... I'm sure things have changed since then.
I think I'm just turned off from MMORPG's as in the end they are all similar to WoW in some sense, so you might as well play WoW... Until some revolutionizing game sets new standards I'll stay away. The most interesting alternative I've come across is EvE and I'm sure it's older or around the same age as WoW.
