Give me a ^^ if you agree or a @@ if you disagree

I understand it is only a month in... but learn from other MMO mistakes and corrections and don't release a pvp system that is not fully developed.
**** wow's pvp is in a constant flux ALWAYS and has never been balanced since vanilla. Terms such FotM and comps revolved around the horrid state of that system.

The nerfs and failures to address classes that the devs broke drove me entirely form that game.

I remember a few months back a post at WoW (europe i think) forums titled as Blizzards total disregard of PvP. That is the state of PvP in WoW but lets not forget that this game is a well established game.
Still anyone that have played wow remembers Frost Mages.

SWTOR has its own problems, unexpected lag, ability delay, faction inbalance on Ilum and some other minor bugs but it is fun to play and very enjoyable.

I am not an experienced PvP player but i like PvPing here and i am sure that all those issues will be fixed in due time.
I wonder if i can use this as a night light.

Sorry but the only classes in this game that takes a modest amount of skill is Marauder/Sentinel and even they are only half the complexity of a class like MM Hunters in WoW.
What makes you think I am? I'm a WoW vet, I've played the crap out of that game. I'm looking beyond the fps issues (which i dont have) and delay because it will get fixed. This isnt my first MMO (obviously) but the PvP is something special here and has plenty of room for improvement. It is, imo, a step ahead of WoW's "fully developed 7 year old system" in a lot of ways.

WoW's overall client might be smoother, that doesnt mean the PvP is better. Also, the skillcap is much higher in this game then WoW's and yes is because of the lack of macros and addons and auto attack.
I just don't see this being true, but I'm not arguing. I'd like to hear your thought process for why you believe this though. (Other than no macros)

Macros alliviate the skillcap like crazy, your ignorant to think otherwise, ever play RIFT? Its like WoW, but easier. Macros run that game and its PvP system is terrible because of it.

Addons, telling you what to do all the time, esp the PvP arena addons, is seriously pathetic. How much hand holding do you really need, honestly?
Hahaha I haven't played WoW in almost a year now. I simply enjoy laughing at haters like yourself. Your opinion is that WoW's pvp is trash, that's fine, no biggy. Saying this games pvp is skill based and praising it shows your opinions don't matter though. So therefore who cares, you must be trolling. WoW's macros are not nearly as intuitive as you seem to think they are. I'm still waiting to see your gladiator WoW character by the way. You're awfully defensive!

PvP in all games is the same. Kill the other players before they complete an objective and complete the objective yourself. Its the same stuff you get from playing first person shooters on Xbox live (which I hate with a passion). In short PvP is always going to be boring and fail.

WOWs pvp at launch was utter garbage. This game is leagues ahead of WOW PVP. And don't forget that WOW for years didnt really address player concerns and suggestions. Only recently have they been all cool and stuff....

I never said I hated the game, the pvp is terrible though.
This game has more skillbased pvp, its a fact.
Not trolling, at least not as hard as you.
You're opinions dont matter either.
Cool story bro.

Do you even read the threads at all before you post? You're the third person within the last 2 pages who said the same thing. So I'll repeat myself again for you:

Why shouldn't we expect a game that was released now to compete with existing games? Why should I have to wait 7 years for this game to develop?
