I would say it is a mix of WoW and LOTR style end game. Blizzard will freely admit that their goal is to get you to raid. Anything outside of raiding it does not even seem to be considered.
Trion lately atleast has seemed to focus on 1,2,5, and 10man content more then 20man. If you look at 20man you have 4 options..Greenscale(5boss), River of Souls(5 boss), Hammerknell(11bosses), and daily raid rifts(5 types)
this x10 -- no other mmo compares to RIFT for updates that I know of
I didnt like RIFT due to the lack of lore but I do appreciate the RIFT devs enthusiam to add new things to the game

I loved the excitement, lore and storyline during the first 15 levels. It was not as good later in the game.
Do play RIFT if you like to pretend you are playing a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.
Don't play RIFT if you want to actually play a Massively Multi Player Online Role Playing Game.
