I think you misinterpreted the posters view point. By not looking at 'why' wow was so successful and implementing the things that any cretin could see the players would want, is just disastrous.

You make a list a page long of all the things that could have been taken, enhanced and added, but weren't. And that's the big failing.

I don't mind bugs, I don't mind a little server instability, but to login on day 1 and experience what ToR is all about and being so deflated as what was supposed to be an MMO, and one of epic proportions and all it is, is a grandiose single player game lacking so many fundamental things as to render it a loss.
Yeah, it's a big, popular McMMO. Ok cool. The fact is that it's held together by people who like their guilds, and stick around to hang out with their friends long after the game's gotten dull. Fine.

I don't see how any of the things TOR is supposedly lacking are "fundamental." It's lacking fairly trivial things like macros and a combat log. TOR is fine.

That they still hang-around as you claim, is an indication of how popular it is.

You must have forgotten; A decent AH, A decent crafting system, An open world, re-playability, A decent UI, shall I continue?

Probably.

It's not like I'd call the AH a feature. And WoW's crafting system has absolutely no redeeming values whatsoever.

Open world? No more so than TOR. Replayability? If you found it I'd really like to know where they hid it.

And if the UI is decent, why is everyone modding it?

Personally, I just want to be able to get a server transfer. I'm tired of being one of 15 people on the high end planets, and then going to the Imp Fleet only to find nobody doing hard modes because they're all level 15-25.

What would you call it then?

That's your opinion. Other's and I, beg to differ.

Did you get the WOW Explore title? ToR doesn't even come close to WoW's world.

I think you spent too little time on WOW to actually be able to offer any credible opinion on it.

Because lots of people like to shape it to their liking? Why did you ask just a silly question?

This is priceless.

OK, tell me what's good about WoW's crafting system. I really, really want to hear this. No really, come on. Lavish me with a description about how you had a blast running around Ashenvale in circles mining ore so you could get 20 more points and move. Regale me with the story about how you loved grinding a profession all the way up just so you could get a buff to remain competitive. I can't wait to hear that one.

WoW's world? How is it superior to ToR's? It felt smaller, except you spent a lot more time on foot. You still had to grind out the same zones. Why would I get the explorer title. I don't randomly run around zones for meaningless titles.

And I hope you got an achievement for finding it's replayability, because that really would be something worth bragging about. THE BARRENS IS SO MUCH DIFFERENT IF YOU... I have no idea what would come next.

Like I told you in the other topic after you said you only played WoW for 6 months.. You have no credibility in discussing WoW.

Pick another game, one you are more familiar with.

lol wut?

I never said that. I played WoW for five years, from launch until after ICC. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say you have me confused with someone else.

Though grats on artfully dodging the substance.
