It's hilarious how absolutely idiotic you fanbois are. SWTOR isn't in competition with Anarchy Online 10 years ago, it's in competition with the state of games NOW. SWTOR was developed for 11 years and is suppose to learn from previous MMO mistakes, not to repeat them. People like you, who are blinded by your love for Star Wars, are simply willing to put up with any crap that is handed to you, silver platter or not. If the game servers went down for a week, you would still be the first one defending it, quoting how some ancient MMO from the 90s once went down for 2 weeks.
If you think these are irrational expectations, i feel really sorry for you and the kind of life you have settled for.
