I just bought wow and play it for awhile. there are only repeatity step, first get quest, kill x number of monster, collect x number of items and get another quest.
someone say the real wow begin when you reach level cap.
from the list above, have anyone ever play those game? is it better than wow?

All of those games above follow the same formular but have little distinct differences. so yes, there is lots of questing.
GW2, FFXIV and LOTRO online offer nice story cutscenes and quests to break it up abit HOWEVER do rely heavily on questing, some GW2 fans here will tell you its different on GW2 but its not... just you don't have to accept the quests, so dont buy the hype nonsense in that respect.
World of Warcraft however has the all-round best gameplay of any MMO, this is hard to dispute objectively, since it manages to do PVE/PvP very well. The questing is ironically better than all the others on the list *now*, most of the other games including GW2's quests don't hold a candle to the modern zones of World of Warcraft and its remade areas.
As regaurds to "the real game is the endgame"
yoshida the current FFXIV producer states it best, a full lenght article on the games concept design and why WoW's way is the highway. You have to realise that players like yourself are new and throwing you into the competitive content at low levels is not the way to go. think of 1-level cap as the smei-single player story element of the game. then as he puts it "After the credits, difficult persistant content is there to challenge the hardcore players"
So at level cap you have 25 man raids, and the PvP elements of RPG's are balanced around final level better than lower levels (too many variables to do it across all levels)..
Yes, leveling on MMO's can be quite the reptitive task.... no disputing that. but I argue SP RPGs are the same... all I ever do is go into a dungeon kill mobs that never come back for some cutscene, same stuff.... just alot more often in MMOs.
For spouting a bunch of opinions it sure looks like you are trying to pass them off as facts. And No one said GW2 does not feature that type of questing, they just do well at disguising it.
And for everyone else trying to do the same regarding WoW.....if you are having a contest as to the most successful yes WoW is #1, but there are still plenty of people who think it sucks as well. It is all opinion, the best is up to the dude behind the PC at the time.
