BW isn't getting the praise they deserve.

You asume to much. Where did I say there were no faults in the game.

I CAN see the potential of the game and look forward to seeing how it grows.

Do you really think that bugs will last forever?

I have no sympathy for you or any like you. To hate with such passion.

I think BW is taking things in the right direction.

Now, can we have any info on the GTN?

The same goes for all the trolls who have never played an MMO at launch, whine because a game that has been out a month doesn't have the polish or content as a seven year old MMO, and lack the foresight to see how great this game will be. They also lack the hindsight to see how badly WoW sucked when it launched. Blizzard ended up giving out free game time because the game was unplayable for the first month(and buggy for months after), and it took dozens of patches to get it running smoothly long after people were paying a monthly fee.

Blizzard didn't launch with 10 million subs, it took years to reach that point, and they have suffered drastic(as in millions) of cancelled subs ever since,. I loved WoW, I played it for years, but you guys can stop pretending that it wasn't an absolute train wreck at launch.

SWTOR forums look like a grouping of rainbows and kittens compared to WoWs; we get a lot of trolls here, obviously, but at least we don't have a sticky dedicated to real life death threats to players and staff like the WoW forums do.

Link to the wow forums; yes, the second sticky is literally addressing the issue of death threats.

This game isn't WoW. This game will never come close to the success WoW has garnered.

WoW has a solid foundation while the foundation for this game is completely messed up and broken. You can't even play the damn game correctly without your UI not responding half the time you push a spell.

What?

WoW has a maybe acceptable foundation that Blizzard sometimes can make good and sometimes can't.

This game has one major problem, in ability delay, and a host of minor ones, but it's still a fun game and in the process of improvement.

I know Bioware admitted they were so horrible at creating class balance that they had to do away with talent trees but... oh sorry that was Blizzard.

This thread should be closed by the forum mods, it is violating the forum rules.

Blizzard has always done what was best for the game at the time. The 6-tiered talent trees in Mists will be a success, and as usual, Blizzard continues to innovate.. and years later, it'll be known as the standard.

For BioWare to not take all the successful pieces from other successful MMO's and then throw in their own flavor and innovation is stupid. It's moronic. That's why this game is such a fail, and that's why if you go to that SW:TOR statistics page the game is plummeting faster than my girlfriend under the sheets at night.

I don't really see how eliminating features is "innovation," but ok. A few years back Blizzard did what was best for their MMO, but at this point it's not really believable when people defend WoW as somehow being something that's really shining and polished. I understand people want to defend the game they invested years in, I played it for 5 years, but it's clearly not nearly as good as TOR at this point.
