I like it, and I am playing. I could care less if WoW existed at this point. i don't hate it, just have no desire to play it.

Not to sidetrack this thread, but i find it interesting that Blizzaard is currently undergoing so much negative feedback from Diablo 3. whether you agree or disagree with the haters, it proves one thing: that even with a seasoned, "big 3" developer, they still can put out games that aren't even closed to "polished". so comparing a game thats well over 5 years+ old to a game that hasn't even hit it's one year mark isn't a solid balance. no copmany at this poitn produces a solid "balanced" game at release. SWtOR was pretty smooth in comparison.

Other then that, this pretty much is a synopsis of every WoW-Comparison thread we had for the first month of the game. the thing is, were 6 months or so into the development of the game...not far enough to see world shaking changes (though they've done allot of solid changes), but far enough that people who are seriously unhappy are no longer here. those that do play do so because they enjoy it...even with the bugs.
As i said this is just my opinion I like the game just not enuff to play it every day I jsut have no reason to play it that much. And for the Solid changes i didn't like 1.2 or 1.3 other then addin a new raid and the only hard Flashpoint in game in 1.3 other wise they didn't seem to big of patches that ppl made them out to be

And here is the logic with MMOs that most of you been posting about saying this game is 6months and wow is 5+years old. no matter how old you xpect the NEWer game to have all the same stuff and More then the old one. Its kinda like buying a new Would you buy the PC that looks great but has lower grade Graphic card,less Ram, and Smaller Hard drive? or would you stay with you uglyer old Pc for the better performance? if you said the new one your a lier

I always wonder myself one thing, why do players feel the need to say this?
I believe every one is entitled of their own opinion no more no less so as far as i see it there is no need to show off the 'War medals' nor the titles.

About the post. Some valid points and yes I keep stressing why a company like this can do such a poor job. But in the end even the mighty can fall

Truefuly I don't think it is Bioware. EA pushed release for 2012 when it wasn't suspose to be out untill 2013 so they didn't get to do all the polish and bug fixxes and content they wanted to have at release and that is what made most ppl leave this game. Now the dmg is done and you can't turn back so I see it as EA ruined this game 100% it had great Potential it still might get to the point they aimed for but i don't see them geting to many of their old Subs back

So, are you going to address the obvious fictional claims you've made, like HM Denova runs?

Where did you get this 2013 release date from? I was in beta and we never got a projected release date,firm release date or target release date for 2013. We got it will "launch when it launches" and then we all got the same email about the release date. EA maybe did push the release date up, in fact they probably did, but only people that work there know for sure.Just because you believe they intended to release it in 2013 does not make it fact and you shouldn't present your opinion as such.

I'm tired of the "all the bugs" comments especially concerning launch, TOR went live much smoother and with much less bugs(especially game breaking ones) than a vast majority of MMOs. People just tend to remember launches with rose colored glasses. Your favorite MMO WoW for example,was riddled with bugs, laggy, and unplayable for the first few weeks and was virtually impossible to complete quests due to the competition for mob kills. Content patches to this day still introduce a regular slew of bugs and require mini patches to fix.Raiding wasn't all that smooth either.

You can argue that the game lacked some polish and some of the features that have been introduced in patches should have been in since launch,but again TOR launched with a lot more than some MMOs out there.

Bottom line is your original post is just another one in a list of people who overhyped the game in their heads(you said so yourself that you thought TOR was a "WoW killer"),became disappointed when the game did not match or exceed your overhyped expectations,felt the need to let everyone know you are quitting and why on the forums without providing any constructive criticism for the devs and now lurk around waiting for people to agree.

The only unique thing to your OP was incorporating outright lies or exaggerations to further your points.

I like SWTOR, and I'm not even interested in WoW (not into the medieval-fantasy genre at all). I like the companions and several other features you listed as bad. Not gonna argue the points, though, as opinions are opinions. It's clear that your ideal game is very different than mine, and I am in the minority of the MMO population on many of my preferences. *shrug* So be it.

If/when SWTOR shuts down, I may never play another MMO. Will see. There are plenty of other ways to spend time and money. About the only thing I can think of that would interest me in another MMO is a dynamic (and historical/realistic, not fantasy-laden) gladiator-based setting.

Fair enough. On the flip side, I enjoyed the patch changes. given that your currently only raiding to play with friends, i can see why very little of the patch content impacts you. for those who are far more immersed in the game (from RP and alt leveling and PvP and story experience aspects, as examples) the patches make a big difference.

So.... after all the arguments and opinions, It's obvious the OP is madly in love with WoW. That being said..... why are you here rather than getting ready for a wild night with WoW...?
