It's a great game 1-50. It plays more like a Bioware game where you can queue for PvP than an mmo. Once you hit 50 things will go downhill. It's a great single player experience but it's not much of an mmo. It's worth the price on the game but you won't subscribe for long.

I never played WoW, but imagine it was similar there too because most people that came to play swtor came from WoW.

It's got flaws, but its a good game. If you are enjoying, it, don't worry what other people are saying.
This is very true

I was just joking a bit with my son about how WoW's forums were when the game released. About 10-15 days in came the first posts from the first level 60s about how the game was "fail", about how it was "world of easycraft" and about how boring it was at level 60 and how the game would be empty within 2-3 months once everyone had level capped, and so on.

It's literally like this in the forums of every. single. game.

Even the most popular one in history had this on it forums.

Coming from someone who was there, it was nothing at all like what you described and it took far, far longer for the majority of the playerbase to hit max level.

In other words, you're full of it.

Yeah, just focus on yourself and enjoy the game. If need be, try to stay away from Gen Disc. I spend a LOT of time on the forums while at work, and find myself deleting 99% of the things I attempt to post in threads because it wont do me the justice I need.

Most, general disc consists of other game trolls and... very oddly... a LOT of people say they're done with the game... yet are still here. Which I dont quite understand.

I hope you're enjoying the game as much as I am. Best of luck.

Nonsense. I remember the threads specifically.

You're full of it, buddy.

I find it very boring, and waste of time.
I am waiting for guild wars 2 and diablo 3.

It was nothing compared to this. To suggest otherwise is disingenuous at best, ignorant at worst.

People were doing the 60 dungeons for months and pretty happy about it.

Actually he's not. I played WoW from beta phase 2 - shortly after cata launched. I experienced the EXACT same thing he did. Nice try though.

See above. It was nothing compared to what we have here in SW. Not even remotely close.

Example: This game's population took a HUGE hit after 30 days. To try to compare the 2 is ridiculous. So many more people are bailing here due to the endgame.
