This game is TWO MONTHS old.

This.

cookies? COOKIES1?!?!?!! Pffffffffffff. How insulting. I'm a pie guy.

I know what they're "saying" because I read it all the time here. YOU said it quite reasonably...and it's been said soooo many times that one would think people would recognize it as having been sufficienlty beaten to death so that we can all move on and talk like adults about other things now. However, THEY screech what you just said like angry monkies flinging their pewp....instead of saying it in a reasonable manner, acknowledging that BW has told us, forexample, that they'll be giving us combat logs, they scream it and rant like a 2 year old whose cookies...erm, I mean pie...was taken from it. It's completely absurd. The game is NOT broken and horrible because you can't look up in a combat log to see why you still suck and need to L2P or because you get all bent out of shape for ahving been killed once and need to be told why you died, because god forbid you have to try it until you actually learn to get it right the old fashioned way. And yet, what do we see instead of "hey, we've beaten this dead horse silly...let's move on"? We see, every day all day, the same old thing over and over and over again, like ZOMG NO COMBAT LOGS, I QUIT...YOU SHOULD HATE THIS...FAIL FAIL FAIL DOOM DOOM DOOM!!!!" Grow the hell up people.

But.... you are all still here? It is over 2 months since launch, and you are ALL still here. There are some feaures that would be nice to have, but the fact remains that I still have way more fun playing this over other MMOs.

When I die in game, I don't need a combat log to tell me what happened. I can tell if the healer wasn't doing an adequate job. A quick look around will tell you if you aren't holding agro.

The UI is functional, and since I use hotkeys and know the cooldowns, I don't really need to look at it often anyways.

All your QQ is moot, as I find this game more enjoyable than others.

I've never seen a game in the history of gaming with *this many bugs*. I'm sorry but even the crash to desktops when WoW launched weren't as staggering as the vast number of bugs in this game. Once you get to endgame it just gets worse - loots broken, glitched instances that need to be reset and then you need to re-clear the trash, double spawning, players getting multiple hit by lightning fighting Soa, etc etc etc.

It's like there's more glitches than working gameplay.

I bought RIFT during launch and if you want to see a WOW clone, that is it. The launch wasn;t super silky smooth like you're saying it was. Theres a reason RIFT doesn't have a ton of subscribers. It's not that great. It's a typical fantasy MMO, very boring.

I disagree completely. I experienced far more bugs when WoW launched that prevented me from playing then I've experienced with SWTOR. However that can be in large part due to the machine you're playing on as much as it can be coding of the game. I experienced far more lag disconnects when I played WoW around launch then I have with SWTOR. I personally have not run into one "game breaking" bug in SWTOR. I do however believe there are some bug issues and I do wish they would focus some more time on fixing bugs then on creating more content that the power players will crush inside a month and then continue complaining there isn't enough content.

Every bug you just named, EVERY one, happened the first time I tried deathwing.

I fully agree with this statement. All the combat log does is it turns players into number crunchers. Instead of actually figuring out the best way to raid, PvP or what gear works best for the situation, they just number crunch their way to the biggest number possible.

Now I am not saying the combat log is a 100% horrible thing, but I do not need one to figure out how to play my class better.

you can argue many things about WoW, but revolutionisng the genre? No, they really did not do that.
They did not introduce any mechanisms that other games at the time had not already had.

What they did was taking the occasionally overly complex mechanics of its predecessor games and streamlined them to the point that an 8 year old could play the game with a fair degree of competence, then polished everything to a degree that you could apply your make up in the reflections.
Kind of what Blizzard does with all its games. Nothing much evolutionary, certainly nothing revolutionary, but slick and polished content and gameplay that bring their games to the mainstream.

If you play the game single player maybe. Running a flashpoint or nightmare mode just to have the loot drops break or be forced to reset the instance and people decide its not worth it to reclear the trash or etc are pretty game breaking to me. A lot more game breaking than one person getting hit with a lag disconnect.
