It's depressing on some level, as I honestly believe on the whole warzones are good, and group balanced well. Open World is a tragic non-existant disaster, but they can't fix that overnight. They just better not screw it up a second time :/

Oh, and I made a thread about Blizzard's similar desperation tactics these days too, but I suppose I shouldn't have started a thread specifically on it, as it got closed for not being about TOR
I don't see what Blizz is doing as desperate anymore, I actually see it as an aggressive attempt to go for SWTOR's jugular.

They know they have diablo 3 and MOP coming and they are just making an aggressive push to reclaim the entire market practically and snuff SWTOR out.

I hope Bioware is planning a counter-punch that addresses the population issues and competes with WOW's offer, holding my breath.

It's your fault for rolling on these servers, lack of foresight
My server(Farman/Tofn) is fine I don't see the problem
It's nearly a full moon
You only need 8 people for an OP , spam 1 more
Everyone else is playing their 24th alt on Fatman/Tofn
Your cpu is underpowered and can't count
You forgot:

The Devs have said that character transfers is one of their highest priorities. Be patient.

TTK needs to be toned way down in PvP. Someone needs to come up with some better WZ maps. I saw a video of GW2 and although the gameplay looks aweful the map looked incredible. I don't think WoW has been so successful because they cater to the whiners, but they have made the game fun for almost aspects. The only terrible class imbalance I ever saw the was when DKs first came out.

I will try to stick it out with swtor as I love the star wars series and being a Jedi. If the content and class imbalances don't get straightened out then I guess I'll move on. My server Iron Citadel lasted a month and I have noticed a decline of about 50%.
Wow I'm not even sure what to think when you say GW2 looks "horrible".

You either have the weirdest mmo taste ever, or you've just simply haven't looked into GW2 enough.

The combat itself is the huge highlight of GW2, so it's pretty obvious you looked at an old video for 20 seconds and went "meh".

Ummm, I shouldn't even do this because the situation is too funny, but the guy is actually agreeing with your point. He is being sarcastic.

I hope they do transfer soon. A lot of my guildmates are getting tired of organizing groups all the time and the talks of D3 have intensified and I anticipate a lot of them will stop playing on May 15th when that games comes out.

I love SWTOR a lot and personally don't want to see the population drop any worse than it already has!

I watched two 12-15 minute videos posted about a month ago. Do you have a suggestion for me to watch that might change my mind? I never played the first GW but I heard it was horrible as well.

Also,
The /who tool is broken
The devs are working on it, its a priority
My standard/light server is fine
You are making this up
the same 30 people are making the same posts, the problem isn't that bad
its only a few servers
Meanwhile, in Tera general chat -

"The sad thing is, arguing with fanbois on the forums was more entertaining than their 300 million dollar single player MMO from 2008"

Go to youtube and type "top 10 reasons GW2".

The video explains top 10 reasons GW2 will change the way we look at all MMOs, and the video is just a little over a year old as well, so it only gets better from there.

But seriously though, checkout that video. I think it's the highest hits for a GW2 video and I think it'll definitely change your mind.

Did for me.
