Bioware's SWTOR isn't a Blizzard game. Warcraft, even Pre-WOTLK, doesn't come close.

I'd say removing some bother is an improvement

It was a well written post. At least he/she didn't say "OMGZ WoW WILL FAIL SWTOR FTW!1!!"

I dont agree with this point.

Traveling in this game is horrible compared to wow.

takes 15-20 min to get from illum to voss. Try it.

Illum -> run to flight path -> run to orbital ship -> run to elevator -> run to ship phase -> run to ship -> run to glalaxy map -> exit ship -> run to elevator -> run to space station -> run to orbital ship -> land on voss -> take flight path.

This is traveling in SWTOR and sucks.

When people get to high level gaming they will see this and go: ***!

I'd still prefer they make a better crafting system, to a form that I consider more interesting.

But I guess if it's not going to happen that way, the least bothersome way is better.

Unfortunately it will never happen. If you make it too complex it only caters to the most interested and devoted crafters. It has to be simple enough for everyone to use and enjoy. Just like everything else that is simple enough for everyone, it is boring.

Maybe, but I've not give up hope entirely, though I would not say that the system I want would necessarily be complex. I'd prefer it be simple, but interesting, which is, if anything a bigger challenge.

Like say, Angry Birds. A simple game, but very interesting despite lacking complexity.

thats "a lot" of "innovation" for a x years/hundreds of millions of $ MMORPG.

/sarcasm

not even a button to skip all the cinematic.. not asking for innovation..

edit: dont mention space bar

I'm not sure but did you play SWG? I only ask because that game had one of the most developed crafting systems I've seen and I recall how many people loved it. I really doubt that we'll ever see that here in SWTOR. Too involved and doesn't cater to the majority. =\
