in LFGame
Pretty straightforward in what I want.
Rigid Class roles
Smooth combat and gameplay (im looking at you LotRO so clunky feeling)
Lots and lots of Dungeons
Auto Attack and Tab Targetting (wont budge on these)
One immersive world (looking at you Fleet Command SWtoR)

I liked: Vanguard, DAoC (feels so clunky now), WoW TBC and WotLK(hate it all you want everything in it feels smooth)
Disliked: Rift, DDO, LotRO, SWtoR

PLEASE someone out there have a fix for an mmo junkie lol

    FFXIV pretty much fills all those.  There is one set role per class, no exceptions.  You can't sign up for anything else in dungeons.  But you are able to max each class on a single character.

    The combat animations are pretty smooth and flow into each other well.  It's especially fun at level 60 now, with Heavensward.

    The base game had something like a hundred group instances.  Most of which were dungeons.  They released three dungeon experiences every three months since launch.  The random group has such variety that you have many different options.

    Has auto attack and targetting.

    Heavensward is more immersive than A Realm Reborn.  But the game has a lot of immersive qualities, including graphics, realistic looking armor while still in a High Fantasy, able to sit in chairs and beds, sleep in beds, your characters have idle animations (or you can make them as such, even choosing when they change) such as putting hands to the back of your head, on your waist, folding across your chest -- there are many options for each race and gender in game.  As well as unique animations for each class.

    The narrative story is pretty good as well, and the experience has been improved by them increasing main storyline experience.  The crafting is second to none, with each profession being it's own class, having its own gear, rotations, meta, etc.

    You can try it for free with their trial.  I'd recommend getting a buddy key from someone, as you'll get rewards for such (sent information on this in your message box).
    Due to frequent travel in my youth, English isn't something I consider my primary language (and thus I obtained quirky ways of writing).  German and French were always easier for me despite my family being U.S. citizens for over a century.  Spanish I learned as a requirement in school, Japanese and Korean I acquired for my youthful desire of anime and gaming (and also work now).  I only debate in English to help me work with it (and limit things).  In addition, I'm not smart enough to remain fluent in everything and typically need exposure to get in the groove of things again if I haven't heard it in a while.  If you understand Mandarin, I know a little, but it has actually been a challenge and could use some help.

    Also, I thoroughly enjoy debates and have accounts on over a dozen sites for this.  If you wish to engage in such, please put effort in a post and provide sources -- I will then do the same with what I already wrote (if I didn't) as well as with my responses to your own.  Expanding my information on a subject makes my stance either change or strengthen the next time I speak of it or write a thesis.  Allow me to thank you sincerely for your time.

    You can try out FFXIV for something similar to WoW. Class roles are nice and the game is smooth. Don't let GCD put you down at the beginning -it feels like your character is having a stroke after each ability- you can decrease it later with Spellspeed. If you play a caster this won't bother you at all, but a melee class feels definitely kinda weird. 

    If you found anything like Vanguard or DAoC might inform me too you might receive a prize as I am on a failing quest to find something similar.

    Allods Online, it's pretty much WoW in a different yet somewhat similar skin.

    Well, he didn't say he wanted popular.  He pretty much asked for a WoW clone and it don't get clonier than Allods.

    There is, you just have to activate it once.

    It's not, there is an auto attack button for melee and ranged in the Basic tab.  When you start out it will automatically be on your hotbar too.

    Many of us are abandoning MMO's strictly because your game doesn't exist currently. Even if your only standard was immersion that would still disqualify 99% of MMO's, the other 1% being completely unplayable garbage(aka project gorgon).

    Everquest 2 would be my suggestion.  But since you didn't like Rift or Lotro...yet you liked WoW? I'm very confused as to what you are looking for.  Just know this, WoW for me at least, is the definition of character feedback/controls and hasn't been matched.  Ever.  But I've learned to enjoy other aspects of games that do other things better than WoW.  Like EQ2's sheer class depth and amount of content, plus it's crafting, collections and housing.  On the other hand, I wish a lot of games had the same narrative and storytelling that WoW delivers.  But this is why I have all of the above on my PC and can play them when I'm needing more of something I'm not getting from the others.

    You could try out FF XIV, EQ 2, Wildstar and Aion, but I'm not sure if you're happy with any of them after disliking Rift, Lotro and SWTOR.

    How about taking a break from MMOs, or trying to play some different MMO once in a while?

    Would you be happy with MMO like Tree of Savior: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=441500423

    It'll likely release/start open beta in a couple of months.
