All These Angry/Quit Threads Makes Me Sad

MMORPG's were not about self gratification
Is an addon not a feature
Better than WoW and an MMO I've every played
We don't need oversized should pads
Awesome Story, maybe try not to spacebar so much
Not everyone plays 18 hours a day and burned themselves out in the first week

Over exaggeration of the cost

The gear looking like ***** is facted. After level 40 the gear is not even in the realm of Star Wars.

No.

I had a guild that was over 400 strong.

The vast majority of players couldn't be bothered with operations.

The game economy was screwed from the start because there wasn't one.

No real opportunity for players to develop relationships during levelling

Empty world .. didnt bump into many players whilst levelling ... no community

No tools for guild leaders

And lately .. technical issues ..

WAY over exaggeration by like, what ... 3x?

Rumours have it $150-300million. Not sure what percentage goes to Lucas tho, I'm sure it's not cheap

My main has mostly level 40 - 50 custom gear stuffed with mods from comms, drops, heroic quest rewards & crafting ... average item level around 126. Looks pretty cool actually. The gear I think looks dorkiest are those ugly cockroach wing shoulder pads. Yuck. But I like what I have. I'll post a screen after my workstation completes its security scan.

Whatever, WoW isn't even that good. A lot of people played WoW, because a lot of people played WoW!
When I first played WoW I quit after a couple sessions. The game was boring. My friends who still played got me to try it again after the first expansion, and the new races had more interesting starting zones and looked better.
My friends didn't convince me it was better, I still liked CoH, they were just playing!
WoW didn't succeed because it was great, it succeeded because it was Warcraft, Blizzard, and it was good enough. Now people expect too much. Wow didn't start with everything, everyone says that we should be able to expect more, but obviously you can't when NO ONE can provide it.
You really should read that article on the effects of not using proper capitalization, punctuation, and abbreviation dude. Almost made me not want to bother replying.

Holy mother of the no-lifers God!!

ToR has notoroiously fast progression with no add ons. The only difference is ToRs content is tuned to be without them and WoWs content is tuned to be with them. The biggest problem of consuming content is MMOs of today are designed with the casual in mind. MMOs of pre WoW were designed to take a long time to level. It took me a year in EQ1 to hit max level, on my first toon. I played way more hours in that then I did here. It took me less then a month to level in ToR....

I believe that to be the biggest issue with games of today. However, if we go backwards... then casuals dont like it. So they need to find a good balance. Whats even odder is they actually make it easier to level as time goes on... as if it wasnt fast enough already.

What I find apparent in threads like these, that the happy people dont realize, it takes subscriptions to keep these games going. You all want to flame us for being negative and not happy with the game. You all want to tell us to just drop our sub and stop playing.... you all fail to realize that's exactly what alot of people are doing. You want to push away the ones, holding on by a thread hoping for a recovery, away. We are the people helping to keep this game alive, with our wallets and hopes and passions for the game. If you think the game is going to live on just the people that are currently happy......... you are sadly mistaken.

MMOs are there to have fun. If a feature helps players have fun .... lol self gratification

Refining your playstyle is a way of life for some MMO players. DPS meters are a tool to do that.

It is pretty good now

My jugg tank looks like a transformer not a sith warrior. Oversized shoulder pads is what you come up with?

When you seen 90% of that story a few times its hard not to spacebar. Let me see you read the same book 4 times in a row.

I play about 4 hours a day on average... exxagerate much?

Was a little... noone knows... we do know it was over 200 million. Irreguardless... this game had the biggest IP, biggest budget and biggest staff. We got a shell of what they should have accomplished.
