The second half of an interview with a 'Friends & Family' WildStar tester has been posted on the official site. Questions were submitted by fans of the upcoming game from Carbine Studios a month or so ago. Topics this time include whether or not the player 'rushed' through the game and what he/she feels sets WildStar apart from other MMOs.

That sounds interesting. I'd like to know more on that.
That's kind of a no brainer. This "tester" belongs to a small group of people close to the dev team, given special permission to answer loaded and leading questions in order to create hype.
Welcome to the mmo's of 2003.
This is just more marketing.
I assure you those answers were very carefully chosen and approved.
Lots of words but very little real information.
I'll say one thing, they must have a really good marketing dept.
I hope the games they make are as good.
( Note to self-Don't say anything bad about Drizzt.)
An acerbic sense of humor is NOT allowed here.
Yes, the throwback to the bygone era that once the community gets a hold of it will be meaningless.
I did battle with ignorance today, and ignorance won.
To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled - because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.
