Bioware makes deep RPG content. But it gets used up fast. They have been real open about that, and they are making more all the time. For me, its plently of content. I play 10 hours or less a week. For someone that plays 10 hours or more a day, this game just won't last.

Bioware knew that, if you watched development you knew that too. But people still want to play it just like they play their favorite MMOs, and they are disappointed.

As a former SWG vet myself, I'll just say we're all not like that . These disgruntled SWG-vets are a clear case of self-delusional behavior. They came here somehow convinced that it would be like SWG, and finding out differently, they're furious. Perhaps not so much with the game, but with themselves.
Good will always triumph because Evil is lazy.

In every MMO Forum, the other MMO is always better.

Ok, tell my about your SWG-vet history.
There is no SWG-vet I know of who is satisfied with the direction TOR has taken, perhaps you can enlighten us?

I played a lot of SWG back in the day, and even played recently on the emu server.

The community was great, housing was great, but the rest of it sucked!

I enjoy the game a lot, or I did at least until the server population dropped. However, I never got a Star Wars feeling from it. And the strange shoulder pads and helmets of the inquisitors didnīt help either... I just think they have missed a few things with the overall design. Yes there is laserswords etc. and the music is there, But still, something is wrong...
Server Kai-kan - DEAD. Give us servermerge or character transfer NOW! Time is short, Diablo 3 is coming and it will kill you with fire!

I had absolutely no delusions about this being like SWG, nor would I want it to be. I knew from the beginning that it was going to be a wow knock-off.

My reasons for being here are pure spite and to be generally unpleasant to everyone I come across.
Long time player of SWG from cradle to grave. First Kettemoor, then Starsider.

...With all honesty: WoW > SWG

It is more like: Do you want a anti social community? (WoW) or a self entitled kiddie community with a massive amount of RP babies and PvP elitists? (SWG)

If I was given the choice of SWG or WoW I would pick WoW a million times over than to play that monstrosity.

I didn't read the OPs post...too many words.

But the hate comes down to a few things I can think of;

Too high of expectations.

Played too much and burned the content in a month.

Can't play because the minimum specs on the box are pure BS.

Getting frustrated with very simple and obvious changes that need to be made, but BW is ignoring or too slow to fix.

No Ewoks to kill.
