Comon now. They are introducing RANKED warzones soon. There is a whole planet dedicated (in design at least) to pvp. There is not one but three tiers of pvp armor already. There are more warzones coming and one that is almost ready for release.

Taking all that into account I dont see how you can fault people for expecting more from their swtor pvp experience?

I mean sure, this is just an example of bioware trying to reign in as many people as possible, but they are the ones trying to tackle such ambitions and you cannot fairly ostracize people for critiquing the implementation..... i mean is there something im missing? Seems to me as much or similar amount of time is being put into endgame pvp development as is endgame operation development. We have confirmation of new warzone already, but no confirmation of new operations.

And that is the main problem nowadays. To get as many people as possible to pay, i.e. to get the most money out of it. There were times when people released games that were fun, because they were made by people who wanted others to have fun in their games. Today I am quite sure the people coding those games do not even play them.

The main flaw is it's a phased festival of safe zones....i know you will hate my referencing but where's my stormwind to raid? where's my orgrimmar? we need city's to raid achievements to gain things that make players want to go out not silly phasing ilum and 3 warzones 2 of which if your imperial you wont get to see.

Quite sad, if that is all people want from an MMO today.

WoW was never a great PvP game but yeah stormwind/orgimar would be like 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000X better than LOLUM.

No problem, I do tell: play an offline game then. Or do you really want to tell me playing through some story arcs is the way MMOs are meant to be played?

I think they're meant to be played anyway they entertain you. If that's through story arcs then *** do you care?

You said it's sad that this is all people look for in a game. My point was, what else would you look for in a game other than to be entertained?


Anyway, to answer the OP's question, I play this game because for the time being I enjoy my class and the WZs. That probably won't last for more than another month so I hope the new WZ comes out soon otherwise I'll probably unsub from boredom.

P.S. I'm pretty casual, so if I'm running out of content / getting bored with it then you know your game has a content problem.
