So this patch is very telling about the future of SWTOR

So just a reminder to people out there complaining about SWTOR on here and in various other posts I have seen. You realize you came to play a new MMO. The point here is NEW, the game is not even officially 1 month old since it released December 20th. I personally, as well as alot of people I know and people I have met in game have enjoyed it so far. Alot of people came over from various other MMO's or are just here bacause they are die hard Star Wars fans, or even both.

This game is for people that want something new and exciting, of course it's not going to have everything, everyone wants right away. It has to compete with WoW, EQ and many other MMO's who have had the time to implement the new ideas that people wanted at the time.

Take WoW for instance, I played the beta and played on release and until this game came I still played and was very good at the game. But look at that game on release, so many server crashes, no markers on maps to indicate where to go, no quest tracking, nothing in the sort compared to what it is now, it eventually got good, it eventually had addons. And now it has plush fat panda's and pokemon. Yeah have fun there.

For anyone else reading I recommend sticking to the game, it has some big companies working on it that know what the current fan base wants and it will deliver, again in time because the game is new. Sure there will be bugs, sure there are a few things missing but like anything great, it never starts that way and from what I saw in the new patch it's going well and reading developer notes, the upcoming ideas and events will make this game better in every way despite what random fail or whining players say

He'll never leave. People like that subscribe for years, and they're always somehow in that spot where they 'just unsubscribed but have two more weeks on their account'.

If you point out that they've been in that position for two months, they'll say 'X company is so incompetent they charged my card again even though I canceled'.

I honestly don't understand why world PVP was even implimented, if you want to PVP in the world join a PVP server.

I think world pvp only works in a game designed specifically for it. Take EvE for example, the biggest player driven western mmo in existence, it has no pve, pvp, rp servers... it only has one gigantic server with up to 500.000 players playing the game at the same time, in the same non instanced game world.

Thats how to make world pvp work, make it so that everyone is constantly "bumping" into each other while they compete for the same resources, the pvp will happen naturally as a result.

In SW:TOR we will never have anything like that, thats why world pvp will never work.

Do you really think they will spend money to support this game with everybody leaving... they aren't gonna lose money willingly..

havent seen a big mmo with working world pvp since... ehem forever i guess?.... closest we got was old pre-bc wow and even then it favored numbers and people who put work into raiding to get ahead of lazy masses. anyway... moving on.

Because it's successful in other games, and is a feature that a significant portion of the players want

PlanetSide was an MMO that had working world PvP!
