this person gets it. try to ignore the other trolls in the thread

I think it was designed to be a pve game, then they check some numbers and see all these people in warzones. So then they say "jeez, we do pvp good!"

What they fail to realize, or maybe admit to, is that there isn't anything else to do on your main character but pvp most of the time. HM FPs "waste of time", Dailys "puke", Ilum "horrible", Ops "only takes two days", alts "meh", what's left? Warzones

Hopefully this will adjust in the future but that is the current state.

It's both, obviously. Just like in WOW, you'll need the PVP stat (expertise in SWTOR, resilience in WOW) to play your best in PVP, but since that stat only applies to PVP, you'll need to grind out the best PVE gear for raids. The problem in SWTOR in both respects is the lack of FPs/Raids/Warzones. In WOW, they've been adding these for 7 years. So, you'll end up doing over 50 different dungeons (flashpoints) on your way to 80 and then open up 7 or 8 more that were made for end game. SWTOR has 3 Warzones and 13 flashpoints. Only like 6 or 7 are heroic for each side, so until they add more, it's easy to see why people get bored at 50.

This is mainly a PVE game and that's why they made the Story, but they also added Pvp.

If you want a PVE game then play WOW. It has 50 times the content of this game, way better designed classes, way better from a technical point of view and it's developed by a competent group of people that actually deliver what they promise.

If you want a PVP game then play EVE Online. That has a decent Risk VS Reward system, great community, great player-dev interaction and it's actually a meaningful game where your choices actually matter (in other words they are not just fake choices like in this crappy game but real ones that influence you and the entire game world).

Or you could continue to pay for this heap of **** in the hopes that BW will somehow learn no to suck and how to clone WOW without doing such a *********** terrible job at it.

Your choice.
Wow sucks, I stopped playing the free trial after lvl 14, because it was too boring.

This game is schizophrenic. It is one thing while leveling and a demonstratively different thing at max level. What I like to call "The Great Disconnect".

Story driven MMO from 1-49 becomes the same boring/tired MMO end game grind at lvl 50.

Its like the devs had all their ideas about leveling, but had no clue how to innovate at end game. Just slap on the "standard formula" and call it a day.

Sad really...

So, you played less that 5% of the content and decided 100% sucked. Right...

Pretty much same here for us. Plenty to do without getting into that whole thing. Just not of interest.

I think it's both and I always cringe a little when a game tries to be both because it ALWAYS leads to bickering, fussing, demanding etc. on the part of both styles.

So, we just try to ignore that too and play what's on offer!

It's debatable. Rakata gear has overall better stats, but no one really knows for sure how much the expertise benefits the player over a full rakata set.

Well, I think they wanted to be a hybrid, but the fact that the more Player Characters that are on the screen the less the game uses your computers resources, so you are forced to only PvE; unless 10 FPS on Ilum is playable for you.
