Has this game turned you "off" to MMOs in general?

I hated WoW, seriously. Didn´t even play past the trial. I´m turned off by the oldschool "click x kill y" MMOs.

C'mon, man. Can I el oh el at "the difference in interest-level is reading vs. being read aloud to"?

After playing WoW for 7 years this game made me realize how stale and how corny it has become. I look at my WoW toon who has about 3-4 animations that get used for everything and the gear which is a muddled cartoon mess of shading and hues and I realized that it just doesn't cut it anymore. SW:TOR made me realize that other MMO's may be smaller in player base but they can be cooler and more fun to play. This game is the reason that I un-subbed from WoW.

It's not about being read aloud to. It's about enjoying a cinematic experience. WOW, for instance, doesn't have that in it's quests. Most people that play games like that have no clue why they're doing a quest. They just accept them all and then mindlessly complete them as they race to max level. TOR has changed the genre for the better, IMO, by making the leveling process fun again. The journey actually means something in TOR.

Also, if graphics, presentation, cinematic, etc don't make a difference, why aren't you still playing text based MMORPGs?

So....Are you happy with TOR then? or Quitting. Because it's exactly what you said you don't like. Hours and hours of kill X, collect Y. Hours, and hours, and hours.

The devs never claimed to revolutionize the genre. Just made it more " story driven". Assuming you care to hear /read what npc's have to say. Even on that account it's bla bla bla <spacebar> just gimme the loot.
They can cover it up with voice overs, and it's still npc's asking you to kill X and collect Y.

Personally I think it's hilarious that some people subbed than complain about these things. Quit because the engine is flawed, graphics suck, too many bugs, or something. But if you thought you weren't going to endlessly kill X and collect Y, you were fooling your self.
