Rose tinted glasses are a PITA..

Let me start off by saying. SWTOR is no where NEAR perfect. It isn't, its got bugs everywhere, some gamebreaking, some not. Its missing features the devs said would be at launch only to realize they couldn't make launch due to the time constraints, ect.

It is, however, the smoothest launch I personally have EVER experienced, and I've played ALOT of MMOs in my day. In addition to that, they've also handled their first patch quite well.

To compare, since everyone seems to compare blizzard and bioware since they're the two with the top MMOs on the market.

World of warcraft, upon release, was borderline unplayable for the first weak. I don't mean slow, or long queues(although those things happened), but i mean entire servers would crash for 5-6 hours at a TIME.

Every major patch, to date, has made the entire game unplayable for the 24 hours after.
Regular maintenance usually goes on for 5 or so hours after the "expected" time.
Every time a dungeon or raid is released, there are COUNTLESS bugs that make them either playable, or exploitable to make them easily beaten.

Not to mention every expansion, or patch, there is a HUGE outcry demanding blizzards head on a platter. Every change they make, every bug they fix, there is someone whining and saying they quit.

But now that we're on a BIOWARE game, suddenly all of those faults are forgiven, blizzard are saints and bioware are the devil incarnate.

Yea, rose tinted glasses SUCK.

I don't understand why someone who enjoys the game "has" to be wearing rose tinted glasses. Perhaps they are just having fun despite the flaws, or perhaps the flaws simply don't affect their interests.

Case in point: I don't PvP much, and I don't care about the Ilum warzone. I'm on a PvE server so Imps with PvP gear don't bother me.

Ergo, I don't really care about what happened yesterday. I wouldn't even know about it if not for the forums. I did some flashpoints, ran some quests, played my alt a bit -- it was a normal day for me.

Don't you know, now that we aren't giving money to Blizzard, they're saintly angels that can do no wrong, and have no faults.

The same happened in Rift. People were mad about Trion constantly releasing bug-fixes, every other day, and they said the customer service was terrible. People tried to explain that the rate at which they released content and fixed bugs was superhuman, but the complainers said that they should release bugless content....

like Blizzard.

It's a plague. The second you stop paying one company monthly, and start paying another, you look at the faults that your money is going to, and look at the benefits your money COULD be going to.

These forums will be a lot better once people stop using them as their personal blogs.

[That means you OP]
