Top Ten Reasons YOU play SWTOR? Top five reasons you quit?

What are the top things you can say about SWTOR? Or perhaps, top five reasons you quit? I am still playing, so to start this off I will post my top ten reasons why I still play SWTOR and am interested in it, though NOT necessarily in this order.
- Music. It's elegant, plentiful and enhances the narrative.

- Massive, diverse environments. The SWTOR planets themselves I find very unique in art style, architecture, color scheme, mass, setup and above all, story and lore.

- Datacrons. I just find these really entertaining to find.
- The Codex. I love the fact that there is just this massive encyclopedia of lore for the game, a rumoured 1-2 novels worth.

- Class Story: We knew this was coming. All the stories are very interesting to me and fufill the star wars archetypes, and it really makes you feel unstoppable, and one man army.

- Flashpoints and Operations. I like that these are fun, have variety, have challenge AND are infused with Bioware storytelling, lore and environments. If you WoW PvE, you will like SWTOR PvE., as it is often more in-depth and has a greater feeling of peril.

- Crew Skills. Grind free crafting. Awesome.

- Space Combat. I love it, I dont know why, I just do.

- Overall Presentation of the Star Wars Universe. If there is but one thing this game does right, it is capturing the Star Wars feel. Great, massive and diverse world, interesting (though cliche) characters, tons of lore to explore and a real sense of galactic conflict. Its a personalized Star Wars saga with the class stories and world arc and RPG style lore, but at the end of the day you can join with friends and have fun in a perilous, exciting flashpoints and operations, or bashing some heads in some fully voice acted warzones

Things that ARE wrong with this game:
- HORRIBLE character customization
- Though fun, flashpoints and ops must progressively attain more difficulty,
- Lack of PvP endgames. I enjoy warzones, but four is not enough for hardcore PvPers.
- Lack of variety in terms of housing and minigames (though space combat is a step in the right direction).
- Needs MORE DIVERGING stories in flashpoints and world arcs
- No hobbies or alternate professions outside of space combat
- Population imbalance, but you knew that.

Otherwise, I really love SWTOR and think Bioware should proceed to not keep up the good work, but proceed to do better to make the content better with every update, to be progressive and learn.

I love everything about this game, except for the fact that people are leaving the game slowly.

10 Reasons I'm still playing.

- Fan of Star Wars and Kotor.
- WoW just doesnt hold my interest anymore.
- Legacy Unlocks
- Class Stories
- Each Companion has some lovable quirk to them.
- Dual Wield Lightsabers
- Ability to just log on and play myself at my own pace whenever I want.
- Fan of Bioware products and know they will bounce back eventually.
- The fact they included the Battle of the Heroes theme from Revenge of the Sith.

and Most importantly this is the big thing that keeps me playing

- I have fun. I honestly truthfully do.

The premise of your question is wrong. I haven't quit. Gonna be here for quite a spell too. So pull up a chair and sit awhile.

Nuff said

I find it interesting you ask for 10 reason why you are playing, but only 5 why you quit.

Anyways I'm still playing, so here's 10.

1) Light sabers.... need I say more.

2) Great story lines.

3) I enjoy PVP in SWTOR on a casual level. I'm not someone who only PVPs so I still find it enjoyable. I play maybe a couple games a day and probably no more than a dozen a week. It keeps things fresh. Huttball ftw.

4) I've never fell so much in love with an MMO class as I have my Sorcerer. He's been my main since release and will continue to do so. I've enjoyed alts and playing them, but NONE of them compare to my Sorc. I played a Druid for 3 years in WoW and I have more fun on my Sorc than I ever had on my druid.

5) I love the KOTOR Universe. And want to see where this keeps going.

6) I'm also a huge Fan of Bioware. Even though the company has not been the same since EA bought them, I'm sticking with them.

7) TERA's combat is fun, but nothing else about it is. Rift is fun, but I wasn't playing it since release and catching up is no fun. WoW - I quit years ago and have no interest of going back. SWTOR remains my main MMO.

8) Compared to other games, Crew Skills in this game are so easy and fun to do. While some of them are still in question of usefulness, its going in the right direction.

9) Even though I wish it was harder, and there was more of it, I enjoy the raiding.

10) This is the most important. MMOs are meant to be played with people. And my entire guild is still devoted to this game. Now some of them aren't quite as active and are playing D3 in between guild events, but they're still here. I love my guild and have tons of fun with the people I play with. Until we as a group decide to up and leave the game, I'm not leaving. And if we ever did leave, it would be to another game. Our guild rocks and I plan on staying with them.

To you Sir....Bravo...Bravo...Bravo. +10

There isn't that many "good" reasons to keep playing SWTOR but here goes:

finish class quests and companion quests and bonus quest
do some daily PvP quests to earn some PvP currency
Finish PvP gear set (War Hero)
Craft Stuff for my main and my alts
Do a few Warzones for fun

Top Reasons I quit
No Open PvP support (ilum joke)
Space Combat completely terrible
Not enough Warzones and no support for group (disbanded feature), lack of contorl for Warzones and Queue in general
Crafting still is terrible - Most Trades need a lot of buffing and enhancing IMO
PvE is still terrible IMO (story modes aside)
Missing Guild features has critically hurt the game
Lack of transfer/consolidation has critically hurt the game!
Lack of true GUI mods is frustrating
It's hard to take EA practices seriously anymore after this game that is some sort of non-mmo. This game needed far more real content INCLUDED at launch than what was given... I'm sure it will be a long lasting game for SW fanboi though, but for real PvP hardcore MMO is done a long time ago.
Last Warzone really wasn't that great, as far as MAPS go it couldn't be any simpler.

1) The story - it is amazing.

2) I love my healer and her story. Sometimes, I see her as a real human and thinking twice before picking an option.
The game seems realistic, my character seems realistic. Even I know it is not so, I somehow think she is now meditating in her room. It is all thanks to the Story. Contact with my character has never been better, makes me feel involved like I am the part of the SW Universe. That is what brings me to:

3) Leveling. Yes, I enjoyed leveling my character. I am usually slow at leveling. I dislike it. In Star Wars I was rushing just to see what next is going to happen. Even collecting 5 random items felt epic and of great importance! Lets not talk about companion romance that made me speed level from 30 to 50.

4) Companions are amazing. Can't wait to see how the story will go on after level 50 and the final Act.

5) I really enjoy warzones. I am only sad other people on low-populated servers can't enjoy the game to full but I am sure after transfer everything will be much better. I can still find some open world PvP on Ilum while turrning the turrets and doing dailies.

6) Combat is amazing. It is really Star War-ish. Not many times I get a chance just to watch people PvPing but, once, being behind the Force Shield, I couldn't help myself not to notice how amazingly it looked. Warrior wins in this case !

7) Progress - PvP and PvE - talking about gear. I am close to full PvP set and after that I am going for PvE. Still, so much left to do.

8) Gear! I love the looks of gear. Ok, have to admit I kinda dislike the last one, but as long as we don't have dragon heads, big shoulders, thunders - I am cool with that. I am the lover of cool but yet simple gear, something that comes on lower levels. That is why I am happy about the changes were you can use pretty much any item you'd like .

9) Still have to see class stories of Republic and some of the Empire classes.

10) Legacy! Need to have it all! I am also sure there will be more options when it comes to Legacy.

11) Event we had was really cool. Hope to see more soon! Idea is really nice and the way they created it was a surprise. It looked fantastic!

12) Still waiting for more Praxon models speeders !

13) Never had a problem with credits. The only time when I went broke is when I bought all of the color crystals and stopped doing dailies but was in a need of a new gear. It is kinda odd how easy is to get credits if you are doing dailies every day, which I am not. Some of my friends have 15+ mills :P.

14) I really, really do enjoy the game Star Wars the Old Republic. They only have to fix PvP and server population and that is coming with 1.3.
