SWTOR is less than a month old, wow is 7 years old. Why do people compare?

They didn't invent, or even innovate, that either.

RIFT.

The WoW launch revisited.

Why is WoW beating the **** out of every other MMORPG right now?

In these 90 or so pages I am sure this has been stated, but I will state again:

It's perfectly acceptable to compare new releases to old releases. Why? Becuase the new release had plenty of FREE research in what works and what doesnt that they can obtain simply by studying the old release games. They literally can jump light years ahead, implement the best of the already developed features and then add their own original ideas, giving them an EASY ADVANTAGE over the older release games. There is really no excuse to come out with an MMO today without the tried and true features of pre-existing MMOs. Add new innovation on top of that as gravy.

I cancelled my SWTOR sub due to lack of features that I see as standards now in MMOs (ie: Dungeon FInders), not because the game per se "sucks". Perhaps in time they will implement them and I'll take another look but as of now Id rather go back to the game I had fun in and continue there. I am not willing to miss out on content because I cant find a group in a game with dozens of servers. Or look like every other agent or deal with poorly scripted boss encounters. I expected more features simply due to the fact that THESE FEATURES ARE ALREADY IN MOST MMOS and it would have been simple to implement in SWTOR.

Anyway, have fun, keep gaming and Ill check the game out in another 6 months or so.

Actually no, you're incredibly stupid.

CBR600RR
GSXR600
YZF-R6
ZX-6R

All of these are 600 CC sport bikes, they're all nearly identical. They also all came out at different time intervals.

Triumph came out with their Daytona 675R some time a few years ago and managed to match all 4 of the Japanese superbikes.

You think anyone's gonna buy a new 600cc sports if it comes out lacking "standard" features? **** no. You think MMOs are any different? People aren't stupid, YOU'RE STUPID.

I just let one go and it actually smells pretty good. To me at least.

Everyone likes their own brand.

I didn't have to buy a time card.

"5.) Night elves could be seen coming over to Menethil by the boatload. They ran in packs across the swamp to make it to the Ironforge/Stormwind areas in safety. It was an epic journey for them. "


I remember doing that. Good times and that is already something TOR doesn't offer a variety of areas to level up in.

Hmm...

McDonalds is beating the **** out of Trader Vics.


McDonalds must be better than Trader Vics.


Fail.

I really want to know how people come up with these misguided notions that wow is some sort of addons required to walk forward and chew gum at the same time kind of game.

I have 4 addons running there. One is a UI replacement called ElvUI, an addon called Cellular for whispers and Recount, and Auctioneer.

Above my player frame are buff/debuff indicators, along with above the target frame. Below the target frame are my cast bars. Between the two frames are the Target of Target and if need be, Pet frame.

The half circles around my character are built in to the UI.

I have three macros, one is to Counterspell either my target or focus target,
the other is to either spellsteal my harmfull target or decurse my friendly target.
the third is my polymorph macro, which sets my focus target, casts polymorph and future recasts of poly go to my focus target every time.


Blizzard has said if that they design a mechanic that would require an addon to sucessfully counter the mechanic, they will either change the mechanic or add functionality to the UI itself. The best example of them doing this is the threat indicators which are part of warcraft UI now.
