A note about the referance between WoW and it's recent copy-cat clones on the market. RPGs have evolved little over the past decade while the same cannot be said for FPS titles. Technology has been the main factor for development and features, not basic concepts and core gameplay.

The broader market in FPS games show what people prefer and using that information to build a new FPS game isn't bad so long as progress is made. People really need to jump all over games like Cross Fire, Combat Arms, Wolfteam, Operation 7, etc. if you really want to complain about FPS clones.
The broader market is stuck on a hamster wheel in my opinion with each game being basically the same small fire fight battle with different clothes and dingratz.

Putting it as basic as I can, I would rather see Planetside reskinned and updated netcoding, then BF/COD with a Planetside skin.
