It's the other way around for most players.

In WoW there are classes that can solo dungeons, or fight a complete army of mobs + boss at once without even losing health or mana; while other classes struggle even to perform their natural task in a group.

Also, my PvP encounters in SWTOR were rather balanced. I lost fights, of course. But not in a multiple stun lock without being able to perform one single action; nobody has the ability to freeze a complete army 4 times in a row like in WoW. No mixed classes here that tank+DPS+self-heal in a manner that outperforms everything else at once.

The main advantage of SWTOR compared to WoW is that it seems to care about balance, both in PvE and PvP. Not saying that balance is perfect here, but WoW is no longer bearable in this aspect.
Let me remind you how WoW never had inbalance. There were no classes that could spam single target and aoe fears, there were not any healers so OP that they could perfectly heal and kite, and certainly there were no broken classes or specs that took 2 expansions to be fixed.

I can do sarcasm aswell. Except i am playing a game i like and apparantly your not playing the game you think is so good. Funny that.

Oh wait... did i meantion that if you play WoW cataclysm right now, you really have no point for the dungeons that released when the expansion came out nor the ones that came out on the patch since. What you said is completely false, and its much worse in WoW. There is no point to running WoW instances except the 1-2 that came out in the latest patch because they can be repeated to infinity and offer better gear.

I dont see swtor having any life beyond a year, tops.

Sure go ahead and compare it with WoW, a 8 year old game. Theres no way that yet another hotkey mmo (that doesnt bring anything new to the table except for tacky voiceovers) is going to live for that long.

GW2, Tera Online, Titan project (and what else the future holds), thats where the future in MMO gaming lies.

I can gurentee you their game forums will be filled with threads claiming they'll all die within a year. Its just the way MMO's work. No matter what you do, no one ever seems to think they're good enough any more. But then, i'd love to see these sort of people make their own MMO. I'm sure with their superior knowlege of code, it'll be so much better.

Answering a one liner with a one liner

All i see from the blizz boys is subjective opinion, nothing else

Also, if wow is so great then why are you posting here?

I for one can say I had a very enjoyable time in Tera, but thats not the point of this thread, whatever the point is.

And yes Nemmar, thats how it works. Just like you don't run old raids, or don't spend justice/honor points in old gear. That's just how it is and I dont doubt SWTOR will do the same come the next content tier.

Oh boy... here we go again.

I dont see your prediction powers beeing that useful. I wouldnt make any bets if i were you.

Just the fact you consider Titan to be better, a title that you no NOTHING about, except that it might be in space and first person, says how much your factual analysis skills go.

I will touché you with this: TERA will go free to play to play within a year, GW2 is already free and a sucess but will make many QQ cause theres no end-game and project Titan who knows what that is, and i am gonna love the QQ when they reveal its nothing more than a first/third person shooter MMO. The grass always looks greenier on the other side, doesnt it?

Currently we do get different but in some cases similar class quests (warrior & inquisitor) but always the same order of planets and always the same side quests. In wow I had 8 lvl 85's yet in Swtor i'm severly struggling on my third character. As much as I enjoy the VO & class quests the lack of freedom is killing my enjoyment, in Azeroth I could ride from 1 side of the continent to the other passing through a myriad of areas. In Swtor planets are designed to lead players from one area to the next with out of bounds areas blocked, you cant travel from one side of a planets map to the other.

After 7 years of trolls i'm burned out on the science fantasy genre, otherwise i'd probably still be playing Wow.
Im having that very same problem. I have leveled about 6 chars to 30+ by now, for various reasons and now cannot for the life of me seem to muster the will to get any of them to maxlvl...
I just want to do the class quests with the good scenes/voiceovers and then skip to lvl 50 to try out the endgame.

So im probably going to unsub and maybe come back later when the leveling has been improved in speed or been made less grindy. (Kill X amount of mobs named Y).

I have kinda pondered from time to time, if they are purposely trying to run WoW into the ground now, in the hope it'll make everyone migrate to Titan.
