...o but I forgot... playing MMO's is serious business and there is not room to have fun
I get the sense (especially from these forums, and from reviews all over the internet) that not too many are having the "fun" that we all thought we would. Lord above knows I wanted to love this game to pieces, but unfortunately that didn't happen for me.. and apparently, a TON of other people..

The game, unfortunately, does not have longevity or "legs," if you will. There is no buzz or mojo on the street about this game. There was before it was released, but.. well, you see the state the game is in now. You read the forums. You get a vibe while playing it.. you know what's going on.
wow, what world are you from. the games still buzzing quite a bit. this forum looks like every other game forum EVER. nothing new there. WoW forums are this bad. You are truly sheltering yourself from the real world. ps this isnt my favorite mmo, its real close but I am a comics fan and love DCUO also. I knew that game wasnt gonna be a hit but I enjoy it. This game I can tell you right now is the next big thing. YOU dont want to see that happen, we all get that, but it will.

However, FACT: The crappiest WoW expansion is miles ahead (in every way) of this newly released, 2012 (supposed) MMO. I say supposed in parenthesis because it appears the majority of people are finding their experience in this game to be more of a single-player one, and not that of an MMO. That, again, doesn't hold subscriptions. They dropped the ball, good sir.
How do you know what Mists of Pandaria is, or what it has?
You said yourself you had no idea what features SWtOR had, even though they were incredibly well promulgated.

This game had undeniable potential, it has the Star Wars name backing it.. and, this is what we've got. They released.. this. I feel cheated and somewhat insulted, as should you.
you feel cheated for not getting something you were not promised??? seriously what did you think this game was??

What has that to do with your lies?

I feel as if Bioware missed a lot of the Star Wars in the Star Wars game. They did a good job in KoTOR. But, in this MMO, I expected more. Especially with the time put into it. It feels very WoW like. And, well Bioware had a whole canvas to work with. Wheres the moments where I get to lead a division of Republic, or Sith, troopers into battle? There is a war going on, and I'm out making sure that Voss is safe from it's lower class citizens.

You're right sir, but I appreciate the assumption. I DID want this game to be the next big thing.. but go login, you see what BioWare has released to us..

And actually, if you read the WoW general forums.. there have never been more praise, especially to the innovative new LFR tool released with the most recent content patch. Why is it Blizzard seems to innovate everything in the gaming industry.. and literally every other company, in my eyes, is lightyears (lol) behind? It bothers me.. to a degree. I am a Blizzard fanboi, this is evident and obvious, but that doesn't mean I didn't want to love this game. I make a good living as an IT guy, I can afford two accounts in WoW and 1 account in this game together. I just don't see it going for more than a few months.. and if I feel this way, 100s of 1000s of others do too. Just read the forums.

A really good example.. I'm a tank, in SW:TOR. I attempt to do flashpoints all the time, and we have discussions about the game. I haven't met one person in those who say the game isn't anything more than a break from WoW.. and I mean it, I have no reason to lie. That's the "vibe" I'm referring to.

Because from what I read fans are more disappointed than excited for Pandaria.
That is when everyone will come flocking back here and try and reverse every bad thing they said about this game. Along with the fact that they do not even have a two digit million subscriber count anymore.

Because I bought the BlizzCon virtual ticket and devoured every second of it, and I still play WoW and follow its development very closely, and I do with many games and companies. Gaming for me (as a computer nerd, but I also get paid to fix computers and networks hehe!) is a hobby, and I love it!
