No one wanted this game to be a copy of WoW. Sure, they wanted it to include things from WoW that were good... but who wouldn't? WoW took good things from EverQuest and improved upon it, polished it, and added their own twist. Why wouldn't Bioware do that with this game? Stagnation does not drive the industry forward. Again, NO ONE wanted this game to be an exact copy of WoW. The only people saying that are the "fanboys" because they have no way to refute other people's points.

There are so many things that Bioware could have done with this game. They could have taken WoW's raiding and twisted it, adding more dialogue and story. They could have added Light Side / Dark Side elements to the encounters. For instance, if you have more Light Side characters in the raid, you fight a different boss than if you had more Dark Side characters. They could have improved player customization easily by adding dyes. I could keep going on and on with things they could have innovated on and chose not to.

I came here because WoW is old, and stale. I wanted something new and fresh. Instead I got the same old same old, with some Star Wars lore slapped on and some mediocre voice-overs and cut-scenes.

It's people like you that are stagnating the MMO scene and the video game industry in general. Claim there's nothing wrong with this game and then verbally attack anyone that dares to point out it's flaws. Pull your head out of the sand.

All that talk about WoW... never could get into that game.. design reminds me to much of something I would see on Cartoon Network.

Not Saturday night Toonami either... if they still have that. That was cool.
I am sick of hearing people try and claim that other MMO's are copy/paste of WoW. An MMO looks like WoW because WoW IS AN MMO.

If you actually seen, with every patch released, other bugs come to surface!

They didn't manage to FREAKIN' fix the GUILD ROSTER when in a past patch they ''actually said they fixed it''. Its not fixed, EVEN NOW!

If you can't possibly fix a damn table how can you make this game better?

I didn't quit the game! I never said I will! But I will do it and go back to wow because:

1. I pay the same for wow

2. WOW is better

3. WOW is polished

4. WOW has instant queues

5. WOW has population

6. WOW has PVP not HUTTBALLZ JOKE of a PVP or w/e

7. WOW is out for 7 years and it has a strong community still.

8. WOW doesn't have Saturday downtimes for 1 sentence patches

9. WOW is actually a MMO game instead of a single -co op game they call MMO

you want more?
10. pandas anyone?

My son still lives off my money. Damn kid needs to get a job and move out already. I mean, how many years does he need? He has been living with us for 2.5 years

First off I didnt attack anyone. I dont know what you are smoking this evening but where in that did I attack you? I just find it ironic in the same thread there are two people arguing polar opposites. One says this game is nothing like WoW and you saying the game is too much like WoW. How is that attacking either of you? Just shows Bioware cannot win no matter what it does.

Also nowhere did I say there is nothing wrong with this game. I think you have me confused with someone else.

This exactly happens to my guild / server as well!

I like this game , I want to play this game , I don't want to go back to wow.

However, People log on less and less by days as I notice it's getting harder to make a group running Dungeons + some ppl expect full epic gear for easy run.

I don't know the solution but please do something >__<

This one was built in 5 years, genius. Next horribly off-base analogy, please?

Quiting a guild and quiting the game are two separate things. Are you sure they all quit the game?

Well then I apologize, I read more into your comment than was actually there. My previous post then, rather, isn't directed at you but rather a majority of people posting here that like to pretend that nothing is wrong with this game and attack those that point out it's flaws.

We do agree on one thing, however, and that is that Bioware doesn't know who they want to please. And it shows. They should stick to the single player games, where they really shine.
