The thought that WoW has more endgame content

I've always believed WoW stole ideas from other games, made them their own and improved on them.

I just wish Bioware stole some of the great ideas from other games like WoW did.

THey did. They just spent most of their time on voice over for quests and forgot to steal the rest before EA pushed out the game. Game should have been in development still and not been released until the annoying game breaking cooldowns and lag is gone.

It's common knowledge that back when Vanilla content was relevant, you had to have the appropriate resist gear.

How many of those award relevant gear or even useful points to be spent on relevant gear?

Yes, and they have already admitted that it was a flawed model. They moved away from the resistance model and are in fact removing the concept of Spell Resistance (and spell penetration) in MoP completely.

Innovation is a strange word - it means different things to different people. And if you notice I didn't use that word. I used "evolve" which is exactly what WoW did (and what Bashiok said.) They evolved the genre, and yes, they contributed to new standards in it. To some people, that's innovation. "Innovation" is an entirely subjective term.

So can you point out where TOR is evolving from the best-of-breed?

They've certainly evolved storytelling (not innovated), there's no denying that. Wether you like it or not is another thread.

But what else? What else has been done, or going to be done to truly evolve the genre, not evolve the game itself into something that existed a few years ago?

Which saddens me... but they describe it as not working in World of Warcraft - but can fully imagine it working when designed into the game differently.

False. Only a very small portion of the playerbase was max level at the end of a week.

Please do not exaggerate.

TOR has these.

You won't choose to because 95% of all of WoW's raid content is irrelevant, meaning it awards nothing that is usable to you now. It's not even worthwhile to sell on the AH since most of it is BoP.

False. While professions aren't too bad at the beginning of an expansion in WoW - aside from gems/buckles/enchants - crafting in WoW is fairless useless. Hows Alchemy treating you? It's been virtually gutted you know.

I haven't had any problem making money from the market.

I'll tell you right now that while I don't care for the market UI, I'm absolutely happy that I don't have to sift through 500 pages of enchanting materials listed individually.

This is so ignorant that I should just ignore you right now.

Pathetic thing to complain about. If not for Huttball, your queue time would be quite comparable to WoW's queue times. I suppose you don't remember how long it took to get in an AV back in the day. On Aggrammar pre-cross server, sometimes it would take more than 24 hours just for an AV to fire up.

Huttball being same faction means that you can get more action faster overall.

Developers have already stated that seasonals are on their way.

What did that accomplish? It's not like you got to capture the city.

Yeah, because 10% of your coin loot going to the guild bank is so uber. Guild leveling needs more work in WoW.

That type of behavior is generally regarded as a jerkish type of behavior and during my 7years of WoW experience, I found that most of the players that "tried to start something at a low level quest hub" generally disappear the moment a high level lands from the flightpath.

Keep going.

The only way spell resistance will work in a gear driven MMO is if it is provided by a mechanic (gem/augmentation/AA point system) that only provides spell resistance at the cost of no other power-related stat.

Spell resistance failed in WoW because it displaced other stats on gear. Generally, equipped spell resistance made you do less DPS - so it turned into a balance nightmare until DPS reached a point where you could ignore the spell damage and kill the boss before the healers ran out of mana.

If spell resistance came in the form of a unique augment slot that displaced no stats but only provided protection to one element at a time, then spell resistance could be useful. There's a number of "ifs" there and even then, it can have a dreadful impact on the PvP side of the game.

If you are going to post about WOW, actually play the game.

WOW doesn't have 67 dungeons of endgame content. Not even 1/10 th of that.
