ITT: this thread again. I find that to be a false claim as there are always people willing to attack those who are critical of the game in some form or another as well as those who must 'respond' with their own threads to counter some other thread. People enjoying the game are doing that but they are not all ignoring those who are not enjoying it or who just want it to be better. Some of the people claiming to enjoy or even 'love' it hang out on these forums waiting to jump on someone for being negative or wanting the game to be better.

I didn't buy the hype - and didn't pre-order until after I'd been in a weekend beta, December FTW! - and was still disappointed with the game. Not initially! The first couple of weeks were great. As the first billing cycle approached, though, I was already considering cancelling. I held on for another month, but that was it. Still hoping to see improvements - and hoping to see them sooner than SOON (tm). In the meantime, I love these forums.
As of December, I feel more like I do now than I did before.

I don't think any product from our species could deliver on the hype this game had. Some of the expectations for TOR were flat out nonsense. Of course I personally enjoy seeing foolish dreams crushed, so I was pleased to see such unrealistic hopes.

I have said this many times. i wanted KOTOR 3. It feels like Bioware was making KOTOR3 and midway was like "you know what? Lets turn this into a MMO instead." And to the people that complain about the complainers. We complain about the game cause we have the right to complain about the game. We paid 60$ and some of us got the 3 month sub, we invested our money into a product that disappointed us and should complain about it anyway we please. If it wasnt for the people that complain who speaks their mind about the negatives you would be playing a much worse game already.

Seriously...somethign is seriously seriously wrong with people who can (a) devote massive, and I mean MASSIVE, amounts of time to something and then (b) turn around and say it's awful and (c) spend all their time on the forums whining like a 3 year old whose candy got taken instead of just walking away and not looking back if they do, indeed, hate it as much as they claim. Take your meds, people. lol right! Guy plays Skyrim for 100 hours, and says "Man!, that was a great game!" Guy plays SW:TOR for 300 hours and says "Man!, there is nothing to do!, what a terrible game!" Lets just skip right past the part that he tore through majority of the content and even the grinder part of content in less than 2 months. FFXI -- I got to lvl 75, and then did what? -- That's right, leveled a subclass, and then another subclass, and another. Why? Because that's what the end-game was consistent of, when you weren't waiting for a link shell member to tell you that a 36 hour Boss has popped. WoW -- I got to lvl 60 and did exactly what I am doing now on SW:TOR; PVP; Dungeons (Flashpoints) and Raid a few times a week (Operations). SWG -- There wasn't end-game at release, or really ever, it was a sandbox MMO. So I rolled my TK before jedi were ever released, and sat outside anchorhead and used Knockdown and beat people mercilessly all day long. I could go on an on about how it compares to other successful games, or I could do what others have and claim that old games shouldn't be compared to new games. Lets just take a moment to compare to some new games. Aion? Rift? Lotro? FFXIV? <insert any MMO released in past 5 years>? Where are they now? TOR has every bit to do as much as the next mmo. So why is everyone making a big deal over this one? They care. They want the game to succeed, but are then setting it up for failure by expecting more out of it than any MMO has ever offered or achieved. This game is no different than any other MMO release before it, and in many cases a lot more successful. It's really to bad those people can't see that, and are more concerned about having 100 people in their zone than utilizing the 40-60 that are. Anywho, I digress...
If things get any worse, I'll have to ask you to stop helping me.

But did you get to 75 in FFXI in 5 played days? No. Lol you spent more time than that LFG on your way to 75... :P

No I did not get to 75 in 5 days, but I also couldn't logon to FFXI for just an hour and find something to do. You needed nearly 3-5 hours just to get a group, find a location to grind (that wasn't taken already) and on top of it all, the group has to be worthwhile. PVP was always a joke with their little mini-game they added forever ago. FFXI leveling =/= SWTOR leveling

Also, making a game into one long grind doesn't = gameplay.

Look at the Biodrones out in full force. It's so weird seeing so few defending the game so desperately. Like every negative said about the game, is a personal affront to them. Let it go. Enjoy it if you do, but understand there are negatives about this game.
