They're both the same boring treadmill gameplay, but they have different hooks to appeal to different people. The sad thing is how many people apparently like the totally unoriginal and done-to-death Warcraft setting enough for it to be an effective hook.

CoV I actually really like from what I have seen already. The missions that do kill me on CoH are the "kill so many of this mob" missions. The reason why being I spend literally an hour trying to find 10 of them despite the quest hints. It is possible to download loads of custom UI's but it is known to mess things up. It's more customizable then the CoH UI....but only if you are into spending time with coding or downloading other player's addons. I have my CoH UI laid out like WoW and the controls changed so I don't have a hard time transitioning between playing the two (although I do try and loot in CoH sometimes). Which reminds me, if you hadn't read yet if you hold down shift while looting you will loot all items from the corpse. As for the forums I would steer clear of them. It's trolls and whiners in the majority as far as I'm aware (I don't read the US ones too much though). Think of all the idiots you've met so far condensed into the same place.
