Picked up Factions the other day and I'm enjoying myself. I have a lvl 10 N/Rt, and I haven't joined a guild or actually played with other people (I use the War and Monk henchmen.) I've cancelled my WoW acct. which expires Aug. 22nd and I probably won't renew until expansion, if it's appealing to me. WoW is nothing but a PvE fest and it sucks, BG's are not real PvP and World PvP is dead (IMO, I came from DAoC.) Blizzard thinking they're going to somehow revive World PvP by adding some ridiculous sand collecting objective in Silithus is...well ridiculous.
I'm actually quite pleased with how well the game runs considering there's no monthly fee. I get the occasional lag spike in prime time but it's nothing like what WoW has/had, at least yet! I have a couple RL friends that were also thinking about quitting WoW and playing some GW. I still need to find a decent guild though, so once I'm 20 I can get some decent gear and explore a bit, even though from what I hear gear doesn't matter much in GW.
