Sorry mate, but there you're making a big mistake.... Lord of the Rings is an awesome game, EVE Online is also an awesome game....

It wasn't an item transfer. The bug is that if you have master loot on, and someone besides the master looter clicks the corpse first, there's just plain no loot at all.

The quests in WoW are more varied, have better flow, and are within better zones (with better music). The quests in SWTOR are basically variations of two different quests with little difference between them and most are POINTLESSLY voice acted that add NOTHING to the experience.

Each planet has 1-2 major light side/dark side quests where your choices MATTER. The other quests are just pointless side quests where an NPC spurts the same lines regardless of what you say. The main class quest story lines are uninspired and feel hamfisted to send you to each planet. They're pretty boring compared to the Mass Effect story line.

Blizzard knows how to properly manage their games. SWTOR made me appreciate WoW and I could probably give reasons why all day.

Oh do tell , i would love to know , since endgame is the same .. it is grind for epics.
Just swtor you are faster done .

now aside from bugs and lags issue , that will be shorten out in 6 months time.

What does WoW really have currently stronger ? more people yes . LFD , LFR finder.
Well you going to tell me killing 6 months death wing is satisfying , well then you shouldnīt even complain about lack of endgame content .

So please do enlighten me , why WoW is so much beter , I hate doing dailies .
Am having fun doing my dailies here in SWTOR .
I hate running instances with no drops at all for me , While here I enjoy them .
Atleast I get to run around 2 times a week doing original stuff , like kiting bosses.
Solving stupid puzzles .. without one freaking AD ON or need for macro , cause DBM is already build into this game .

WoW wait i only neeed to press 4 buttons , SWTOR wait i can use potentially 22-28 buttons.
Yeah see what a big difference it is for a skilled player and a NOOB...
Yes in both games , if you donīt like the setting , donīt like the character you are playing.
It is no use to continue , cause both offer exactly the same .

Just wow quest is even more linear after CATA , while fun and welldone .
It becomes tiresome after a while , same thing for SWTOR .

But endgame in WoW is beter ? you mean more variety of useless DAILIES .. yeah in that case fine WOW wins , raiding wise :P forget it grinding 7 bosses a week .. versus 11 boss a week .. well you like less then fine .
But donīt complain about beter .

On the other hand you have WoW, which lacks something completely unnecessary for an MMO(Voice Acting), and instead put more effort in balancing the time you take to complete the endgame.
Yes that tends to happen with a brand new MMO.

Don't worry, there will be plenty of things to do at max level once more content patches come out.

And with all that why are people still bored and quitting wow on mass ?
So much for all that is it ?

Why are people enjoying SWTOR without all those quality of life issue .
Here how come CITY of HEROES have more character customisation then any other game i have seen .

With unlimited variety , but is that game making or breaking

So seriously there are 2 things ENDGAME , what wow really has beter is a GOLDSHIRE .
Remove that even more people would quit

If you mean they are leaving in mass to the point where SWTOR and WoW subs will be the same in 2021, then you forgot that Titan will be out by then and will suck 50-70% of subscriptions left here out.

haha you really serious think so , well if you want something to be a success start working for it ..

Cause current generation of gamers are too lazy and donīt care .
Nothing in for me , I quit .
So good luck with Titan when games like FARMVILLE and other copy clones.
Already have them doing what they want daily , click a couple buttons and instant satisfaction , if failing pay money to win .

So yeah that is your future so pay to win .. cause win win for all .
Win for companies , Win for the players who can afford , and just like real life .
If you donīt have money , you shouldnīt be asking for entertainement but work harder .


Nah SWTOR is really for the old group , who still enjoy gaming like it should .
And if it isnīt fun , even for the old generation we finally understand , we should stop playing .

We donīt have to work in our spare time anymore , to entertain people .
If it ainīt fun , it ainīt worth it .

You assume alot on many things here.
Most of it wrong. My age, free to play, my financial status...just wrong on all three counts.
