Best WoW Clone? Runes of Magic or Guild Wars 2? Different?

[Scuttx]

So I played WoW a while back and didn't like it. I've always played fast-paced flick shooters so you can see so you can see why the transition was hard, but I'm back into it now, but I'm not a fan of subscriptions. I've been playing Guild Wars 2 and having fun, but I don't know if it's what I want. I like how in WoW it's the "the game starts at level 90" mindset. Where the Instances, good PVP, and dungeons open up. But I've been watching a lot of videos and It doesn't look like GW2 has that, or that immersive feeling. Also, only four races and one faction is kinda annoying. So should I switch to Runes of Magic? Should I switch do a different MMORPG? Really what I'm looking for is a lot of good, endgame content and a lot of stuff other than the story along the way(PVP, dungeons, RAIDS?). I heard FFXIV was good for this kinda stuff. I'm just not a fan of playing in the FF universe. Does it have that fantasy (elves, dwarfs, ogres) feeling?

Runes of Magic is a very near exact clone of WOW, GW2 isn't really a clone of WoW at all.
Star Wars The Old Republic is fairly WoW cloney, but it has incredibly indepth story missions.

So does runes of magic have the same kind of raids with a ton of people fighting one boss? How big is the world because that's one thing I loved about wow. All the cities and story that goes with them.

I haven't played either in a long time, but I remember them being exactly the same.
If you're not paying for a subscription to an MMO, then you're gonna be forced to pay to win/really play the game because F2P = spending far more money than you ever would if it was just a subscription.

Did you even bother to try looking at the web pages for the games? or their wikis?
