Maybe because there are more negatives than positive things to point out?

Awesome man welcome to the Genre. Hope you enjoy yourself for years to come. Do yourself a favor, start reading up on a game called Guild Wars 2. You might find some stuff you like there too. Having new blood to an old and toxic genre is really great to see.

No MMO starts out perfect, they could have taken some other games ideas, but I guess some would be complaining that they stole someone's ideas.

It has a lot of good things going for it like a good loot system, a fun leveling system, and fun gameplay. I very much enjoy getting a new piece of armor and looking back at all of the hell I went through to get it be it PvP or Flashpoints.

There are many other things I enjoy such as the contrast between my playstyle as a tank to my friends various playstyles such as DPS or healers and how we complement each others abilities.

There are many other great things about this game, far to many to count, but I was just hopeing to inspire all of you to think a bit more positively than negatively.

Because all the people who're having fun are too busy playing the game. Though I'm here to wait out a damned Death time. **** spawning behind you 20 seconds after you've cleared that location SUCKS.

LOL yep, gear drops is the same issue I have end game. I dont mind putting in time for drops but its pretty poor in this game.

Your leveling up and your always progressing, levels and gear wise, and then BOOOM lvl 50. Everything seems to come to a halt. Im not talking about the level progression, I am talking about character progression, immersion in the different worlds, options for acquiring better stuff, the feeling of being part of the game (wheres this war I am part of).

It is freaking star wars guys, the first sci-fi film i ever saw growing up was "New Hope', its what hooked me into the sci-fi genre. The franchise has history and very supportive fan base.

I loved every movie (even when others thought they were crap). I looked past the issues people were raising because I liked it.

But this game, its missing things. Its missing the star wars feel. They have put alot of stuff in, but most of there importance is void end game, and then you are forced to PvP and grind for no real reason or effort-gain.

I wouldn't care much for the bad gear grind if there were other things to do that still made me feel part of the game, the war.

If loot is why one plays then, ya . . . I could vizualize that.
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

This post is amazing xD

While I don't mind the "treadmill", I *also* have been hesitant to play at all since I hit 49/50 because I know I'm going to have to go pvp to start my gearing up and I simply can't take pvp here seriously. If it was WoW pvp I wouldn't have any problem and I'd just go do it, in fact I'd enjoy it. But this...this is so bad...I can't make myself go do it, so I just hang out on the forums.

The art team comment was very clever :P

Yeah that's kind of what was killing me too. I never really felt "at war" with the Republic. I Know they're our hated enemies, I Know that were supposed to subvert them at every turn, but the way they downplay each sides military capabilities to make you feel more powerful is ridiculous. It was pretty hard to swallow. It's like Malavai Quinn was the ONLY worthwhile imperial officer in the Empire to my Sith Warrior.

The end game - if you're going to have us reach it so quickly (even without spacebaring and playing a moderate ammount) will take you less than a month, and have nothing but an RNG loot treadmill, or a PVE loot treadmill where the gear is oddly out of whack statwise, and the bosses are just bugged to heck?

I wonder man.

Most of the complaints I've read are flat out wrong, exaggerated or simply not a big deal.

Dude it's like my Sith Juggernaut is a Ping Pong ball in Warzones. Especially huttball. Numerous occasions I've been knocked back, into a knock back, into a knock back, into a force push. I travel faster that way than by running.

I had my last straw with pvp today, I charged a consular on a bridge in Voidstar, suddenly everything was stars/nebula clouds and I was defeated, then I was defeated again, and then kicked due to being in the safe zone for too long. Stuck did nothing, and the game was making this weird WooooobbbBWAP! Sound out of my headphones, and then it just shut down.

I was like :| Nope.
