So after the rollback and people leveing the game, who thinks they will rush the release of the next class to appease people,and slow the downward steam of people leaving?

No thanks. I think there has been enough rushed classes already.
The problem is that while perhaps not that many people may leave, those who do could bethe ones who would have spent the most real money.
No need to rush a new class as they still have to improve the balance with the ones they already have. Cryptic need to do nothing to appease anyone, this is Open Beta and it is FREE to play.
Nepht and Dr Deflecto on primus
now, with RIFT going F2P in under a month and the (very likely) future screwups that Cryptic/PWE will make, the water will be up to your neck in no time sir. then you can tell us all how its all fine and noone is leaving and the chat is super fast
Also please buff TRs. I saw a TR almost die whilst tanking a T2 last night. It was scary. Clearly an unintended oversight by the devs. Please fix.
Almost die < almost is the key word
You probably believe SWTOR is dead, don't you?
You probably believe that NWO has a fifth the playerbase that SWToR has, or even that in 6 months from now it will keep a tenth of that, dont you?
2 million.
I think they'll still not release the new class until it's ready.
I played and paid for Rift over two years ago when it was supposedly going to "kill WoW". It's a decent game, but I'm not overly into playing dated titles after they commercially failed, to be honest. Neverwinter is one of the few F2P games I enjoy, but in general I am not the F2P type who can't afford to pay for entertainment.
That's the cash shop game strategy. Give you 2 slots, give you plenty of time to be attached to those 2 characters and then !bam! new class comes out so you have to buy another slot.
Rift is a commercial failure?
If you can't afford $2,50 for a character slot for a game that you play for dozens of hours, I don't think you are the audience they make new content for. (This is just 180k AD for two slots, if you really can't afford it in spite of having enough time to get attached to two characters.) But that aside, nothing stops you from creating another free account. Unlike in other F2P games, you can actually do that here "legally".
Yes. Their subscription numbers took a massive dive after release. Most of the servers were closed and merged. It has been lingering for quite a long time, with dead servers and all, and that is why it now goes F2P, like all the other "WoW killers". Last ditch effort, as with all the others. It lasted a bit longer than most. I wonder how the complainers here will feel about Rift's cash store where you can actually buy raid level gear, actually, because that really makes it P2W.
Don't get me wrong, I like Trion and I really tried to like Rift. They have some good ideas, but it always felt like an unpolished WoW to me. The controls, the combat, feels very imprecise. It is probably the animations more than anything. The zones are also very bland once you get out of the starting area. I had a real issue getting to the max level when it dragged out. The PvP was as bad as here, maybe worse, because you have to grind very long to catch up on PvP gear.
Rift isn't a bad game, but it's very same-y if you have played other hotkey/tab-target MMOs. Making it F2P may inject some life and who knows, I might take a look again. I update it regularly and have all my collector's edition stuff, but my characters were now moved twice because the servers they had been on died.
You have proof to back up your hypothesis?
