People are exaggerating the few problems SWTOR has.

You'd like to compare Rift to SW:TOR, and I'm not trying to defend TOR, rather I'm giving a comparison. And yes, Rift has it's fair share of bugs, as a matter of fact, at release, half the playerbase couldn't play the game. Many people seem to forget this, but there was a major flaw with the game that prevented some people from playing. So major in fact, that Rift, as of a couple months or so ago, just now can claim they've made a profit.

Again I go back to raid encounters, and since I've also played Rift competitively, I can already tell you, TOR is far and beyond what Rift did. You want to say how easily Rift released, although half the playerbase couldn't play, outside of the first month, then you add how long queues were, then you add where my expertise lies, with end game competition, and you cannot say Rift did any better, as a matter of fact, without trying to game TOR with an advantage, they have done it better, far better.

Endgame on Rift saw 2 actual raids, with fewer bosses. Released after TOR did in timeframe. Even if we look at WoW today, they have 8 bosses at endgame currently, TOR has more than that. Apples to oranges. I'm not trying to promote TOR, but glaring opinions towards content are obviously different. People claim there's no endgame, although we've already had an Operation extension, another Flashpoint, which was only the first of 2 patches, the second of which is coming in March, we've almost had the entire content of both Rift at launch and WoW's current expansion at launch doubled in the same time frame. Nope, no end game.

I'm no fanboy, I don't just jump a bandwagon and blindly promote a game, let alone a BioWare game, which I think frankly is a hit-and-miss genre of RPG to go with, but opinion and fact are almost the opposite when it comes to this game, and glaring "haters" aren't very factual.

That's an awfully long way of saying because wow was buggy it's ok for swtor to be.

No it's not, that logic makes no sense this is 2012 many many years after wow's release.

You want a more accurate comparison, did you play rift at release? do you play rift now? weekly effective patches most released via rolling restarts.

That's how you release an mmo. And that this one had a far larger budget just makes the problems more embarrassing.

And that's just the bugs not the features we've come to expect from mmo's that are missing.

If so I wish, Because though I really enjoy the game I don't let that blind me.

Defend bioware to the hilt if you like, maybe I just expect more from my money.

So you "really enjoy the game", but you expect more from your money.

Uh-huh.

I don't have a problem with bugs myself. I have a problem with bad games though....this game falls under such category.
