But some people like it, and I am not knocking them. I just want to know if the game stays this way all the way to 50. Do you ever get control of your gaming experience or not.

Disclamier- I quit wow and in no way am saying I like wow better etc, just used that as an example.
been lvl 50 for 2 weeks , bioware wants all control of the game, it gets worse at end game,

Now people are gonna say hows thats? heres how. when you reach level 50 you can do 8 and 16 man OPS groups, when you do these the gear that drops from Boss mobs are auto given out to certain people, the whol game is about control, its not fun and no adventure, feels like a job.

this week i ran both Etenity vault and the new Palace they just released with patch 1.1 and never got one items, and spent over 200k on repiars... all the end game boss mobs are bugged out like crazy to, your not missing anything by ditching this game and maybe coming back year from now.

infact im thinking about going back to wow for good and being happy with what i had.

I dont have the feeling like I am in a world that I can go anywhere I please like in other mmorpgs I have played.

Does it get better at higher lvls? Should I stick with the game? Does anyone else have this feeling like the game is controling them instead of you controlling the game??

Thanks in advance for your feedback
Because most other MMOs don't play basicly the same way... oh wait....

Agree WOW is just as linear. You follow the same type of paths, it's called level based progression.

Yes all mmo is still from quest point A to B.

But at least WoW tried to cover or reduce that linearity feeling by offering a seamless zones with alternate leveling zone choices. This is what good devs do. They alleviate the bad parts by offering something else.

Not like Swtor. The instancing, the corridors and buildings, no alt zone leveling choices and linearity of the quests all combined giving a really confined feeling to the players.

How to use the new combat mechanics and how to use your base class skills. the next 10 levels is to get a feel for the AC you chose. Once you hit Tat the WORLDS GET HUGE! Trust me get to level 25 visit tat and you will fall in love with the game.

I rather not have the same things over and over again and
Have areas I havent been to before to make a new toon
And explore more bad parts on swtor all storys are the same
And the quests for every toon just worded different

Uh...no it doesn't?

There are significantly more zones per level range per faction in WoW than there are in this game. That is a fact. Therefore, WoW is less linear.

You mean just like every other MMO, but this doesn't have the illusion of filler space that adds nothing.

It's just like a wide tunnel that let's you walk further to the side on the way to your quest.

I can't wait until these type of people go back to where they came from.
