Overall my impression on Chosen has been good. I played one to 16 and the funny thing is the Destro guild I was in told me not to expect too much since Orders gets so much knockbacks mid T2 and T3 it's quite hard to stay in melee range most of the time. But I don't give a shit, the Scenario play was a blast with assist trains and spamming Taunts, Tooth of Tzeentch, Twisting Aura and Ravage their faces. Also, Vader armor.
...another way this isn't "like WoW" is that I flamed out in the middle of tier two as the population disappeared, advancement slowed to a crawl, and fights got slower and more complicated without getting more fun. I tried a few alts in different classes and realized I couldn't even stand repeating tier one now that, again, the population is gone. After tier two, grouping feels like people are stealing the majority of what pittance of experience and influence I was getting anyway... the healers don't heal and tanks don't tank. Keep-taking RvR was a lagfest which brought back all the 2fps and CTD problems that had largely disappeared from PvE, and suddenly I don't need to log in anymore. At all.
So I canceled my subscription, and am hoping that the game will magically improve a few months down the line and justify not only what I paid for it but an additional fifteen bucks... though I'm not holding my breath. Even if the Tier 1 experience had lasted all the way through tier 4, then I still would have run into laggy, useless RvR and zergs of awkward, unbalanced classes where we fight through the awesome PvP in order to get to THE ENDGAME PvE RAIDS?!
