Once maxed you are free to (off the top of my head):

- Hang in the forums and complain about the lack of endgame content because nothing says "IM A WINNER" like people that have finished the end-game content the first week the game is out and moan about having nothing to do in forums

- roll an alt; you've already done the footwork and now have legacy toons that can stake and twink your alts - every time after your first toon MUST be easier in a MMO or you're simply doing it wrong

- Finish all collections, missions, instances on all difficulties

- start your own guild

- join someone else's guild with an alt and get some drama going

- Become a renowned artisan...creator of player items

- Max dark/light

- etc etc etc

Yes the classic "If I can't have it, no one else should either" exit. I love this game, but if I would start to hate it I would still hope it would be around for all that still loved it.

If you're a professional gamer in MMOs, you'd better be on a development team or else you're just wasting you life--there are no MMO leagues with prizes that I know of.
The game is enjoyable, the launch was fairly smooth.

However, I feel people have a right to criticize design elements they disagree with or draw attention to a bug if they see fit.

WCG has WoW Arena prize pools, but that's about it really.

You don't need to spell properly to hit buttons on your UI. And if anything, cutting out letters only speeds your only-have-a-tenth-of-a-second-to-respond-or-we-wipe missives anyway.

(Then again, I started with Gemstone III...and that had a text input that required being able to spell, no UI to speak of, and left me shockingly literate and with a nice typing speed.)

This, by the way is part of why WoW does so well even now.

WoW is polished. Everyone wants a game that releases as polished as WoW is.

It never happens, because no game can have that kind of dev budget other than Blizzard themselves. Blizzard continues to stay on top, "pro gamers" like OP never get a clue and help gleefully shove any and all competition into the ground while raiding the next bit of Azerothian candy.

Most assinine statement I've ever heard. A game should be fun all the way through not just the very last bit of it.
Mal - Define interesting.
Wash - Oh God. Oh God. We're all gonna die?
Mal - This is the Captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence. So we may experience some slight, turbulence...and then explode.

OVER. so ur paying monthly for a usless game thats gunna sit on ur desktop and has no relavance to ACTUAL PRO gamers.

however if u wanna be boring and buy it and pay for the experience and trust me wen i say ONLY the experience of the story of the game, then go for it. then and only then will this game be a good game. but with games like these the fun isnt supposed to start till u reach post lvl cap.

obviously i feel strongly about it because honesly i feel let done not by SW but by bioware for releasing an unfinished product. i would wish that bioware was ran outta business but i also know that the masses are a blind, deaf, and stupid, and will keep feeding them money.

-No raid progression
-no gear progreession
-no character progression
-o skill progression
-no endgame content (once ur finished u might a well start a new char and forget about the one u spent all those hours and money fixing up)
-abilitys have a time bug wich doesnt match the animation

so enjoy your game that charges u monthly to listen to a story and hopes u send months making new chars so u can keep feeding them money

also the reason of this post is to make people who play the game or want to play aware and to go to biowares forums and DEMAND ENDgame content otherwise ur in for a boring treat once u hit lvl 50.

ur basically playing a single player game (pretend all those other players dont exist cuz i know ur not playing with the 1 million other subscribers cuz none of us do cuz were limited to 60 people in our instance at a time)
PVP isnt good IF gear u get in a quest is better than gear u get strictly for pvp and vice versa
i give it 2 months
once everyone gets over the glamour of the story line and "ooo i can be a jedi" phase this game will die cuz people wont keep payin


how about. . .dont troll the forums telling other gamers what to do and what not to do


no one's holding a gun to your head making you play or pay for the game. if you dont like it, move on

Thank you, OP, for providing me with one.

pro gamer, that would be professional gamer? i'm sure the difference between professional and amateur is, on is done as a hobby the other is done as work, and you get paid. how do i get paid to play swtor?
