BW isn't getting the praise they deserve.

principles.
Like Rift is a clone of WoW. Like WoW is a clone of everquest and everquest was a clone of Meridian 59. Like a checkerboard is a clone of a chessboard.

Games play differently even though the basics are all quite similar. That says they are all designed for the same audience, but does not recognize the differences. Everquest was not Meridian 59. WoW was not Everquest. Rift is not WoW. SWTOR is not WoW. And Chess is not checkers. I know: I tried to king my bishop and the pieces fell over.

Each game is itself, and should stand or fall because of what it is, and not because it is not some other game.

You still clearly don't get it that you failed to accurately identify your environment so you failed to adapt your play to it and consequently failed to enjoy the game, you triceratops you. Even if you were trying to play RIFT in SWTOR rather than WoW, it would not work out the same and you would be disappointed.
SWTOR is strongly and inescapably story based. Story is the key to SWTOR. If you skipped through the story, if you didn't connect with the story like you would a book, like you should have in Mass Effect, then you won't find much of real value that you cannot find elsewhere.

You don't like a good story? No offense intended, and I'd really prefer you found a way to enjoy yourself with us here, but maybe you should go back to Rift where you enjoyed your style of play.

Doesn't that just make sense?

who on earth said they were competing with WoW? Is every MMO that comes out people will scream it's competing with WoW?

The story dude? The STORY?

Go to the library my friend. The 'stories' you get in this game are tacked on c-grade generic sci-fi stuff. The 'stories' arent even nearly up to par with OTHER BIOWARE GAMES.

Wait, is it ok if i compare Bioware stories to Bioware stories? Actually you know what, i dont care, and neither does the rest of the paying public that Bioware needs to keep development rolling.

You are just so far off base its ridiculous.

uhhhhhhhhhh....is this a trick question?

How about Bioware. When they made the game exactly like WoW-lite.

Stopped reading there.

It's a sub-par MMO, everyone I play with agrees, but we still play with the hopes that it will get better; but we won't for too much longer.

Why are you here then WoW is over there ----------------------------------->

Wow someone mentioned Meridian 59 besides me. +1

Everquest just couldn't match the PVP of Meridian 59. PVP on EQ was fun and all, but it wasn't like M59. When you win or lose in PVP on m59 you might as well forget about sleeping for the night. You will either be too pumped up or too angry to sleep

Arkimor your sig is hilarious.

They are so hard up for subs that they dont even do anything about you but slap you on the wrist 20+ times.

I like SWTOR because it's WoW with lightsabers. It's a praise if you like.

Did they quote it though? You can make something similar but that does not mean at all they are competing with it. I never heard bioware say "We are making this game to take down and or compete with World of Warcraft"
