Why this game will end up like rift.

Fun topic though.
Glad to see players dont change.
The same topics and posts as on any other gaming forum

Fail arguments? No where did i say anything about WotLK in my first post, you added that in.

You claim professions were only good for making gold, Belt of Blasting anyone?
**** even Boots of Blasting if you were the tailor, not to mention all of the Blacksmith's weapons, Stormherald? Ask any priest what profession he wanted to arena with back when Rocket Boots where usable.

Jewelcrafting was taken by almost every single top level arena player, coincedence?

If by fail arguments you were doing some revision on your post then yes. Fail argument.

Don't even get me started on the so called "WoW's content was finished in 15 days when it first came out." **** either.

What really bothers me with these game forums is not the people who whine about the game being crap. It's the people who go on these threads and read the whining and then post that they hate whiners and hope they just go without saying anything.

I'm not saying anything about anything being a WoW killer or a swotr killer, all I'm saying is that this game will end up being lonely.

Why this game will end up like rift.

I hope it does, Rift is a great game where the developers turn out new content really fast. I hope SWToR indeed turns out like Rift!

+1 Although I'm commited to play this game for a long time Rift got better they're putting new content constantly and I love their recent patches.

Ok, seeing as everyone and their bloody brother wants to wander down this content path (Hint: It's not really the content that is the problem with the game) I'll bite.

I'm only going to list off points with Cata as that seems the expansion that everyone hates. I personally was disappointed with the amount of content compared to previous expansions.

Zone quests: I'm only including the amount of quests to get the zone achievement. There are more.

Mount Hyjal 115 quests
Vashj'ir 130 quests
Deepholm 110 quests
Uldum 105 quests
Twighlight Highlands 95 quests

So that's 555 quests just in the 5 zones to get the Loremaster of Cataclysm. That's not to bad coming from an expansion that I thought was very poorly done in terms of questing. It's also, not including and quests that take you past the number needed for the achievement. Let me quote Eurogamer in an interview with Blizzard.

"Wrath of the Lich King shipped with about 1000 quests, a little over," lead world designer Alex Afrasiabi told Eurogamer. "Cataclysm will ship with - we're tracking to ship with over 3000 new quests."

Around 1000 of these quests will be in the zones taking players from level 80 up to the new level cap of 85, while the remaining 2000 will be in the redesigned "old world" from levels 1 to 60.

That's a lot of content anyway you slice it.

As for gearing up. I stopped playing back in October. I was give a time-card for christmas. I started playing again last Tuesday on my alt shaman that was nowhere near geared for the new raid or raid finder. He was in mostly 353 ZA/ZG gear with a couple of crafted 359. I was able to enter the 3 new instances and be completely geared to enter the raid finder (372) on this past Monday. So, how's that taking forever to gear? I'm pretty sure I could take a fresh 85 and have him geared for raiding in under 2 weeks if I wanted to. That's pretty damn alt friendly to me. Maybe I should try that with my mage that is in mostly 333 and 346 gear...

The questing in this game seems like you're doing a lot more only because you are sitting through some voice acting content.

Agreed.

Why do people speak of Rift so derogatively? It's actually a very, very good game with many things done right.

Hate to break it to everyone but RIFT started out better on patching and fixing broken stuff.

Just look at everything that was fixed in the first 8 days.
