How is it overrated if you can level quickly? Unlike most MMORPGs, the point of this game isn't to spend thousands of hours grinding to gain one level by repeatedly killing a monster. If you believe that the game is too easy when you've heard it was difficult, you've heard incorrectly, the game is easy, but there's so much to do.

Yeah, but you will spend thousands of hours farming for gold so you can get good gear, and thousands of hours in PvP so you can get good gear.
PS: I find it extremely annoying that when you make a character, you look exactly like everyone else.
PPS: I also find it extremely annoying that you have to walk everywhere. Mounts are also very slow, so it takes too long to get anywhere.

Yah, probably the most annoying thing you will ever have to do pre-Burning Crusade is walk around. It takes inane amount of time and it gets boring. Once you hit Burning Crusade level, you will wish the maps were larger because everything is so beautiful there.

I don't really care what my character looks like, so I don't really complain about it. But if you think about it, it is impossible to have a game with a wide variety of looks. There's always a set or armor that's really good that everyone will want and as such, they will look the same. Worse yet, there may only be one set of armor for a certain level character and that all of these characters are only a single gender, and the same looks because the developers were too lazy to get their artists to make more than one avatar.

I consider myself lucky because I spent a good 5 days playing the Auction House game to get myself the 5k G I needed to buy my epic flying mount. It took a good minute to find epics on the auction house and resell them for 500 G more than I paid. Also, because it's on the Auction House, I didn't need to spend a day sitting in front of it actively selling it. Instead, I could go do other things.

When I hit 70, all I had to do was get attuned for Karazhan and I was allowed to go with my guild because we had a grand total of three healers, a Paladin, Shaman, and me, a Priest. So when any healing gear dropped, it would go to one of us and we didn't have to fight over anything because the Paladin gets all the plate, Shaman gets all the mail/leather, and I get all the cloth. In three raids, I was nearly epic'd out. I'm glad I didn't decide to play a dps class who have to constantly fight over gear they want. My friend has been raiding for months but he's never gotten the item he's wanted because he's always had to fight with a hunter for it. But he isn't really mad that he can't get gear because he's enjoying the game.

I miss WoW...I was having a ton of fun with it. I was only a 45 NE rogue(a year a ago), but it was so much fun. Too bad my graphics card caught fire, otherwise I'd still be playing.

Yeah. Fan broke on it, overheated and caught fire. Almost burnt up my motherboard, I can't figure out how it didn't.

I put it in like this:

1234567
123-4567

None of those worked, and that's not my number, just an example.

So, you enjoy City of Heroes because everyone looks different. No other element actually matters, it's just so awesome because the person to your left doesn't have the same avatar as you and the person on your right doesn't have the same avatar as you. You could spend hours standing in the same spot, imagining how awesome you are because you have a one-of-a-kind avatar. This is one awesome game, I'm different.

No, not only that.
The community is actually good, unlike WoW.
Really good PvP.
Good variety of missions unlike WoW, where it is almost all collect missions.
Better auction house than WoW.
Great invention system.
Huge Issues are completely free
No issue has disappointed me yet.
