The end is nigh, the sky is falling, we are all doomed! and other such nonsense.

"Do as I say, not as I do."

As a fat old guy, yes truth in advertising in a forum name, I really do not understand the instant gratification generation. What MMO has ever launched in state that it was flawless and completely polished? All games have issues at launch, most far more than this one has.

I have been playing MMO's since UO, and they all needed a lot of work at the beginning. The current king of MMO's, WOW was nothing at all like it is now when it launched, in fact it's launch was infinitely worse than this one, it took years to make it into what it is now, which leads me to another issue. Sometimes enough people complaining make developers do things that in the long run effect the game in unintended ways, SWG is a perfect example of this as is to a lesser extent WOW. SWG was basically destroyed by these complaints, and resulting changes, and WOW is in decline I believe for similar reasons.

So be careful what you ask for, complaints can be constructive, but they can also be counterproductive, If you see a glaring issue, post about it in a reasonable manor, free of hyperbole, with no comparisons to other games, and without predictions of impending doom, list the issues and if you feel you must, what you think can be done about them, and leave it at that.

In short, nothing is perfect, you will never get everything you want, and complaining about things is not always going to get the result you desire, the sooner you realize these things, the happier your life will be. Old guy rant over.

LOL they removed a few replies here that involved "history" gotta love forum mods.

So the big boy was perfect at launch? I was there, it was a horrible mess compared to this. It all got fixed in time, why do people think this will not?

I agree 100%, OP.

I've played a lot of MMOs. This has had probably the smoothest launch, next to Rift.

For me, it's about having fun. SWTOR is the most fun MMO I've played in a very long while. Probably the most fun since vailla/TBC WoW.

"Polish" and "features" are only game-breaking if they make the game, as a whole, NOT fun. And I haven't had a single missing feature or bug make the game not fun for me.

There are always doomsayers and people who will complain, either because something kicked-started them emotionally or because they set their own expectations way too high.

WOW wasn't perfect at launch but its fundamentals were very close to being perfect. It played beautifully right from the outset, and that is something that cannot be said for every one of the 'challengers' of the last six years including SWTOR.
