Trion, you actually got me back...and.. I LOVE IT!
Ok...
I don't know how...
But i'm fking loving this game right now....
I played beta, hated it..
Bought the CE, played - "Tolerated" it...
Came back 2 days ago, and i'm fking loving it... wtf?
Couple reasons i think...
First -- When i first played i had a monster gaming rig that i built, but my GPU was lacking, i upgraded to a monsterous card, and now can run all settings on ultra w/ perfect performance -- That being said this game is almost 100% different when you scale from low-end to high-end graphical settings.
2nd -- My typical MMO-Persona is either a Giantic 2-handed warrior (I'm a 240LB Bodybuilder, so this is me projected into the game), or a burst DD Mage (Love those big numbers), and for RP purposes evil knights.. "Death Knight, Shadow Knight, Shilien Knight, ect"...
This time i did something extreme... i rolled the smallest possible character i could make w female dwarf w/ min height -- as an assassin..
I RP as a cute, innocent, adorable little psycho path that will cut your face off if you let your gaurd down 
-- I even started up an RP Merc Guild.
Why am i having fun? Simple, after 12 years of playing MMORPGS.. i broke my own mold, i was burnt out tired of the same ol BS.
So i forced myself into something new, while enjoying the (To my surpise) absolutily gorgeous graphical displays this game has high-end ---
If you were like me... playing MMO after MMO and constantily being frustated, and dissapointed do what i do... force yourself into a new mold of playing... see how that works you

If I made a character based on my real life self it would look like a nuclear physicist from the 1950's. "Studying nuclear science,making good grades,the future looks bright,gotta wear shades..."
Man Of Constant Sorrow

"Why am i having fun? Simple, after 12 years of playing MMORPGS.. i broke my own mold, i was burnt out tired of the same ol BS"
That one line for me is 100% of a reverse of my experience, my line reads.
"Why arnt I having fun? simple, after 12 years of playing MMORPGS..I cant believe what a completly uninspired game with terrible boring combat, this game will wear thin and burn out most players inside of a month.
Thats how i felt for the longest time..
Sheet thats how i felt about anything i was picking up.. the only thing i really had to look forward to was SWTORO --
I am burned out, on the typical MMO played in -MY- own typical way..
I never play rogues/stealthers, i never play female charcters... i never play small cute things.. so i decided to try it.. i mean it's not that i -like- per-say this playstyle, its the fact it's different..
I was so judgemental with the game becuase i was an expert in my own playstyle, looking at this game i noticed...
The Male Models were awful, spell effects/animations sucked, spells were pretty lack-luster uncreative, same thing for warriro animations.. of course i was judging all this through the eyes of someone who has played Male Warriors/Mages for 12 years.. of course i'ma be a Nazi when it comes to it..
So by playing something i have little to no experience in, i can have fun in the fact that ignorance is bliss, i don't know if these is crap for a rogue/female.. i've never played one before... and it gives me a "Little" bit of that fun factored i enjoyed so many years ago back
Glad you are enjoying a game mate.
The trolls will be trolls.
I have done the same thing, I generally always play a rogue... like character. Tried playing a tank-ish characterand that rejuvinated my game for a while.
Good luck!
