I stopped right there, you are comparing and when you compare then you fail. Your exceptions are set too high, therefore you are blinded.

When you decide to not to compare then talk to me, until then look at SWTOR the way that suits u.

But don't feed BS.

So let me try and understand what your saying. Your saying that for 6yr of develpoment that 3 ****y WZs illum which is a joke and 2 Raids are acceptable endgame content??

You sir must not have played many MMOs or atleaast not any good ones.

Oh snaps... where is the pre-order button?

Lets hope they stay true to that formula and subtract the pvp portion because we all know thats just going to be a farm fest like ilum.

No, when you think that saying it doesn't matter that it's a WoW clone makes sense, you fail. if you're not going to read the whole thing, don't even bother replying. It saves those of us with intelligence some time. If you HAD read, you would know that we have every right to expect quality in this day and age. Why should I not expect quality from something that is literally copy/paste from WoW and has been in development for SIX YEARS? How can you not compare a WoW CLONE to the game it COPIED?

If you started pre-release and still don't have a 50 even if casual, I don't know what say. I know people who only play maybe 6-8 hours a week who have lvl 50s. Do you log on for 15 mins and do half a quest or something?

Any rate, I have a long attention span generally when it comes to games; all that matters is if the game is engaging enough to keep me occupied. WoW did it for 7+ years. Rift did it for 7 months. Just to name a few out of the dozens I have played over the past 20 years.

Lets get to the point. Ilum is fail, possibly worst open world PvP 'lake' I seen. Not only does it lag, it's all about kill trading to get a daily/weekly done; there is absolutely nothing competive or interesting about it. What if there was resource nodes in it or even faction wide buffs depending on control? If there was such things, Ilum would actually serve a purpose and thus people would go there outside of quests. No can't have that. W/e. not like this engine/server structure can even support mass PvP at all. Mmmm slide show PvP, so much fun.

So in the end all you have for PvP is 3 WZs which is actually only one since it's 90% Huttball for me. It's also limited to 8 v 8, which yet again proves that by design this is the cap for performance: go past that and it starts to chug, even on the best of systems. Yes, we have a MMO that is only capable of having console type match numbers. Where did that 200m actually go? I think they got majorly ripped off, imo. Anyways, we will never see AV type venue, it would be unplayable. Proof? Ilum.

W/e, I agree: play a lot like me and most would get bored. But in other MMOs, I played just as much infact maybe more and kept me going for years. Here? 2 months. Cool!

Anyways, I made mistake in a) buying CE b) buying 4 time cards; you are stuck with me on the forums for almost a year even if I will be playing other titles. Have to get my moneys worth somehow, right? Don't get it in game, that's for sure.

Name one game that has had brilliant PvP it's first 2 months?

I can, DAOC.

Since then there has been nothing else, nothing.

I have played tons of mmo's, EQ, DAOC, STAR TREK, SWG, AOC, AION, WAR, RIFT, WOW, ROHAN, LAST CHOES, to name a few.

And the engame you see is not endgame, its the begining. Have you ever heard of updates and more content on way?

Have you been reading what is coming soon?

Do you people really read into anything this game is going?

DO I HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT FOR YA?

When reading someones opinion on the status of TOR have a look at their join date first, if it's before late 2011 chances are they're a devout star wars fan looking at the game through rose colored glasses and in their eyes TOR can do no wrong.

No offense is intended and it is a generalization, but for the same reason i wouldn't go running up to Dallas Cowboys fan and ask them what the best football team is, i won't be paying to much attention to your opinions on the status of TOR when they are clearly biased.

When you use words like copy and paste, you show yourself to be a critic and a doom day sayer.

If you walk into a game and look for flaws, and look for things other mmo have, and try to compare apples to oranges, then you are selling yourself short.

I can care less if you stay or you go, but stop with this BS that SWTOR is some crappy game made up to get money only and walk away. Warcraft is a fantastic game, and has been around almost 8 years.

It took years for that game to improve, and let me tell you Vanilla has alot more hatred and has more problems than SWTOR could ever think of. Even TBC Warcraft was horrific its first couple of months with all the bugs, lag, people exploiting, ect.

My point is stop comparing, and stop with the inquisition that SWTOR is garbage, cause over 2 millon subs would tell you they are here.

Just think your paying a sub to complain about your sub, ironic huh.
