For me, only an MMO allows me to play an RPG cooperatively with my wife.

Show me a single player Star Wars game that will allow me to do that, and I'll dump this one like a bad habit.

I just want to say that I do not have any alts. I do however have about 20 mains across three servers.

Valid question remains.

While you are not as clueless as some here I have to say that i disagree about Diablo 3. That game is simple yet so amazingly fun and entertaining!, The "story" is way more fun than anything in SWTOR.
ill give you that. there are a lot of features missing that some would say 'makes it an mmo'. the game was pushed WAY too early. . .or took WAY too long to develop different areas of the game lol. whatever the case it is true, the game needed more features, and those features needed to be fully developed(gtn anyone?)

diablo never was my cup of tea. even in the d3 beta im trying to use WADS to move and tab to target lol. but i do think that changing the way the game was, in order to adapt it for consoles is a huge mistake. but i see why they did it in a way. why make the 'old version' which im sure was ready way before they decided to make a console version, and then have to change the game specifically for the console version. then having to balance(and update/upgrade) two entirely different games essentially. but come on, its blizzard you know they can afford it.

are you trolling by trying to compare diablo 3 story with swtor story? its like your whole post was logical and reasonable up until that point XD.

im sure i dont need to say it, but swtor story is leaps and bounds ahead of diablo 3 story. not even focusing that swtor has 8 stories with slight variations(light/dark). . .the story for the class's starter planets are SO much better than what was showing in the diablo 3 beta(demo)

Thats why not.

You say theres too many closed minded people on the forums because why? Oh yeah because they don't agree with you and thats what you call "open minded" of course.

why is there any trading that needs to be done? do you realize how selfish and entitled this generation of gamers is? you play a game to enjoy it, like we all do. who am i to tell you how to enjoy this game or not.

that's not what MMO means, or what they are. an MMO is a 'living', typically persistent, world that everyone participates in. there's a whooooooooole bunch of playstyles and aspects that goes into a big massive MMO like this.

- you have the crafter that makes consumables and gear for people who will buy them
- you have the hardcore raiders that figure out the best way to take down certain raids, passing down the knowledge making it easier for new players to enjoy the content
- you have the explorers that go out and find all the nice little secrets like datacrons, hunting/hatching the eggs. passing down the knowledge

this list goes on and on with ALL types of players. you have no right to tell someone else how they should or should not play and enjoy the game. simple as that. . .it has nothing with not 'agreeing with me'. good try kid

I guess I do too. My "main" is whomever I happen to be playing currently.

In this particualr game, if you've space-barred through all the dialogue and leveled as quickly as possible, you haven't actually experienced the game.

End-game is supposed to be the biggest part of the game in an MMO but that's not the real problem SWTOR is facing today imo, people are just getting bored of having no one to do "anything" with since a majority(definitely more than half) of the servers are very light pop.

That being said, PvE is so bad in this game that endGame doesn't really matter to me. I'll stick to pvp until D3..
Pax Imperious/Pax Dominus would strongly disagree with you.
