Jacon, don't get me wrong, I completely understand what you are stating.(and you have done so eloquently)
Lets take me, for an example.
I don't give a rats arse about lore. I want my character to go from 1 -85 in WOW as fast as possible, so that I am viable in PVP.
The fastest path to this end, is questing, while mixing in BG's and or Random dungeons. I usually alternate between the two.
Because of this, I never feel that I am questing or rails, even though I KNOW that the quests are very very linear in Cata.

I understand that. As for me, the way I have approached the MMOs since my first, and since I have grown to understand better MMOs since that first trip into LOTRO. The way I look at matters is that basically since the MMO Standard up to this point in time has been that the end game is nothing but those two options basically, I figure I will be doing nothing but that anyway once hitting max level. So I just don't bother with it while leveling, not to mention that at times I think I can work quicker by not waiting around for a group to form up while trying to do said content.
I have tried PVP, but just don't like how it works currently in most games since it is all about having X gear to win and be viable. Not to mention that I can grow overly frustrated with matters when it comes to that, a character flaw so to speak since childhood, and for my sanity and health, I try to avoid those type of situations.
Now my initial play through of TOR was done with the following in mind in that I only had that one week for free access time to play the game due to not being able to afford the game. So I didn't want to take time away from my Sith Warrior to try other matters. Since I now have the game and with some of my other characters I have played the space missions that are enjoyable.

Looking Forward to Guild Wars 2 and serving crow.
