"This game is new" isnt an accept excuse for the games problems

Secondary issues are secondary.

Let me preface this by saying this isnt a post trashing the game or complaining. This is a post directed at those who that throw around ridiculous and unfounded excuses at the slightest criticism(constructive or not) about this game.

The fact that this game is new or just came out is not an excuse for any flaws or missing features.

Would you go see a movie that was only 70% complete and had no ending, just because its 'new' ?
Would you buy a car with no engine? I guess thats fine because its new.

Bioware knew full well the types of features and content modern MMOs have. They seemingly had plenty of time and resources to develop this game. Players thinking about purchasing or continuing to play this game are completely justified in expecting that any missing content or features should have been present at launch. Moreover, most of them are complaining because they WANT to like the game and continuing playing, it is simply difficult to justify paying a monthly fee or playing a game you know is lacking fundamental features.

Futhermore the fact that WoW or any other MMO did not have "X feature" when it was released is not any better an excuse. This game is not competing with WoW of 2005, it is competing with the WoW(and other MMOs) of today. In 2005 MMOs were more primative, and less fleshed out, it was acceptable and common to lack certain features, it is however NOT acceptable today.

I played WoW for 1 and a half years, and stopped last june or july, at this point after having played this genre for quite a while now, I'm uterly bored by some of the basics such as the combat for instance, I am not pointing it as a flaw in SW or anything, the combat type is well done for what it is(except that delay thing), I just think MMO's needs to move forward, and the combat is one of the things-



Let me point out to you some of today's standards that have got nothing, if barelly anything to do with WoW.

Target of target feature
Focus frame
being ablet to resize my UI (being generous here, could ask much more of an UI) try playing in a 32 inch screen and see the ability buttons the size of my head is just retarded)
A decent Auction House (one that doesn't make me fear going to post items in it at least just because it anoys me to no end)
Some kind of more meaningful PvP I can take some pride on.

Do you think any of these shouldn't be a standard for a traditional type of MMORPG, with the basic MMORPG combat that SW, and many other games has?

Focus Frame. Why.jpg? We can already see the entire bloody raid force in a window. Why do you need a focus? I play EQ, we don't have either of these and I am perfectly satisfied with that. Though we do have a ToT window, that I do not use.

Good post but the fanbois will be in here soon insulting you and telling to you go back to wow or something silly like that.

The deal is, for me and others, these few options I put are not secondary, I see this game with an amazing emphasis on the storyline which I am enjoying a lot, but then these few features that (for me) should be mandatory are not implemented at launch, and don't even geta timeframe for it.
