Telling Others to Create New Characters Won't Solve Anything!!

I'm not really sure how to start this, so here I go.

Let's face it: A lot of us have been expressing our feelings about SWTOR and they aren't really positive. Some of us have come back to game saying it's great and how this is how it should have been when the game released, but all of that seems overshadowed by all the negativity hitting SWTOR.

There's lack of endgame content; there's lack of innovation; there's lack of incentives; there's lack of social features; there's lack of variety. There's just not much to do really at endgame instead of doing the same dailies and weeklies over and over again, but also, I feel like leveling up can be extremely boring. In fact, maybe a tad bit more boring than endgame.

In some threads, I see some posters say to create new characters to experience the "full" game (because they're telling the OP that they really haven't completed the game), but here's the thing: that's not going to solve anything!! The reason I say that is because the only thing new you're going to experience is the class story missions. The rest, is well... doing the same boring side-quests that tell you to go kill X amount of enemies while capturing Y amount of objectives. This is why all I do with any alts I create is get through the first planet and then level up via the Warzones... a lot... and then go through the FPs and class story missions once I'm at the level I need to be. I'm not sure how it feels for those of you who only PvE, but it must feel awful going through all those repetitive and just plain old boring side-quests.

I also bet a lot of you just spacebar through all those cutscenes in which you and the NPC talk to each other when receiving and finishing the side-quest anyways. Nice job BioWare, putting so much work in all that voice acting, which is just *cough*spacebarred*cough*.

At endgame, at least you can possibly do a lot of Open World events for those communities and guilds that host them. You may end up burning through all the Operations in its different difficulties, but at least you can setup some events for the server to enjoy.

I don't know about you, but I'm glad I'm a PvP junkie that I can stand going through the lv. 10–49 WZs over and over again to level up instead of doing the same type of boring side-quests.

BioWare, I've been supporting this game for a long, long time—even before this account was created, actually. I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition in July, played during the beta and had loads of fun, accessed the game during the first day of EGA, and I defended your game from all the haters it got while the game was still new. Now—I'm extremely sorry to say this—but I find myself criticizing this game more than defending it. Not sure when my point of view of the game changed, but it was probably somewhere around Game Update 1.2.

This game does has some things other MMOs don't have, but I'm trying my best to enjoy this game with my friends and guilds and still support it. Sadly, I'm also finding many of my friends and community-mates leaving for games like Guild Wars 2 and it's just sad.

Please BioWare, get your act together and add things not seen in other MMOs—especially WoW. It's 2012, and 2013 is approaching us. I'd expect less grind and more fun, more (or probably just better) incentives, and just more variety.

Out of curiosity I looked up the GW2 web site. I realize that the game is not yet out, but from what I've seen on their OFFICIAL site, GW2 art work looks awful. Where are the luscious graphics? Every image looks like sketches still in the conceptualization stage of development. If what I've seen so far is GW2's finished product, SWTOR has nothing, I mean absolutely nothing, to worry about.

And hell, I'm far from being a fanboi for SWTOR, but I've yet to see a better MMO. Not saying it'll never happen, but I'm just not seeing anything on the market (or in the pipeline) that compares to this game.

That's exactly what has been on my mind for the past few days. At some point I found myself actually acknowledging all the bugs etc as problems, at first I would just report them and act like it never happened just to preserve that awesome image I had of this game before it launched, but now it's just a dime a dozen for me.

There's nothing keeping me here except for that irrational little hope I have that BioWare will somehow save the game.

Sometimes I forget SWTOR was the game they promoted with those 3 trailers, that had me so excited last year lol.

Yep, making new characters is only delaying the inevitable. I'm still quite happy with SWtOR but in a few more months I will have seen everything I want to see and then, sadly, it's off to pastures new.

In terms of innovation, I agree. There's none here. Can't believe they spent all those years making a WoW clone and not even a good one at that!

The made the mechanics too simple and too accessible that eventually it wouldn't appeal to anyone

There are so many of these posts already. OP's thread is titled "Telling Others to Create New Characters Won't Solve Anything." Well, neither will complaining about things without offering possible solutions.

Yeah, it's not out yet, but some of my friends have already played the beta, and they're saying things on how GW2 has just stuff that's better than SWTOR. I don't know how to speak on their behalf since I've never played GW2, but I probably never will anyways.

It's just really sad to see the direction this MMO is headed. Not pretty.

Here is a solution: Provide more content.

I understand completely I have a legacy and I have about every class in it but I like putting people that I know in real life in it but since I have every class played but since I want to add people I'm going through all these classes I have played to about lvl 25 and so I know about every line except for some of my older classes but the thing I like is that I havent played as every type of class so I still can try to play as every species for the people I know in real life and I am sure that I will keep on playing because my goal is to get to lvl 50 all I need to do is get every advanced class thats what I also havent done but Im sure the game will only get better so dont stop playing
