Point in CoH/Cov's Favor: You've got an in on a functional SG/Global network with people you know from these forums.
The combat system only lets you "automate" one power at a time, unless the power's effects require it to be on otherwise. It also depends on your powersets, etc.
One negative you might find compared to EQ/WoW is that you can't tell what a player can do just by looking at them in a neutral state. Appearances in CoX are not tied to stats/powers. This could also be seen as a positive.
The "shiny" isn't as strong on CoX as on things like Tabula Rasa and/or EQ 2, but it allows folks to get by with limping behind the tech advance curve.
Again, this is a game where you hurt yourself by power leveling. Some of the best experiences are if you get a team together right from the tutorial zone and are able to keep in touch as you advance.
This lets you know what your "toon" is capable of, and how it meshes with others.
As I've said before, you've got a ready network of folks in "The Legendary" channel/SGs. We have branches on Virtue, Infinity, Justice, and Triumph servers. We may also have a twig on Freedom, the most populous server.
