Well, since you mention Smedley, my solution to the issues you mention has been to return to EQ2 now that it is F2P. Lo and behold I am having a blast with a large game world full of innovative systems. The alternate advancement system alone is giving me heaps to do while I level and means I won't get to cap too quickly, as seems to happen to me here.

I also like SWTOR, I gave them one month of sub money, but having played one toon on each faction have had enough for now.

Wrong, I don't care if you were the child of Optimism for this game.

Posting in GENERAL DISCUSSION, instead of suggestions, or submitting actual suggestions, only gets you trolled, hated, loved; but never effective.

I am not wrong
If things get any worse, I'll have to ask you to stop helping me.

It's fun to leave out the portion of my post where I said it would take time to implement these types of things, and then go on to say I want them right now this very instant.

Seriously?

Oh wait.

Why does the whiner label always get thrown around when someone has made a decent thread?

When folks who like the game (like the OP, myself and some of the other respondents) leave the game after 30 days or so, there is something wrong.

I stayed with EQ 4 years after launch, 3 years in LOTRO, and 60 days here. I am not claiming the whole world will do the same, but if a significant proportion do then Bioware and EA have some thinking to do.

And yes, I get that a lot of folks are happy as is.

Ok, go with that. Just so you know, if you actually read my original post, you would find it full of actual suggestions, while also commenting on an overall view of the game that I may or may not correctly believe belongs within a General forum. If you wish to remain uninformed, convinced that even without full knowledge you are correct then who am I to correct you?

Please continue being "not wrong".

Thanks for posting, have an excellent day! May we return to the issue at hand?

Not all mmos use the wow model, and that can make those games entirely different. More often than not, people are burnt out on the wow model, not the concept of what a mmo can be.

My problem is that you seem to not think that you can come back when/if they do add some of the things you want, and from the video they posted it looks like you might get quite a bit.

Complaining about the lack of content in an MMO that just released is short-sighted. My suggestion would be to cancel and wait a few months for content, that what I did with WoW for 6 years.

Nothing. 4 years in EQ and not at level cap (lots of other things to do), 30 days casual play here.

Sure if you classify same content as different bosses with different mechanics with different rewards and different settings based around a completely different combat system designed by an entirely different team of people to be the same content just because it has a similar delivery method designed from the ground up to be unlike MMO's presented to us in the past. Yes then it's the same in a different skin.

You could present that same argument to every MMO ever made. Improving on what came before is what needs to be focused on, not repeating more of the same. The Public Quest system was improved on by RIFT and now is being further improved upon by GW2.

SWTOR's raid presentation/PVP presentation is a duplicate of every gear grinder we've been given. Is this a bad thing? No, if you like it then that's your thing. Not everyone wants more of the same. In this case, more of the same, with steps Backwards in time.
