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.
You need to look at some of the game play videos like the ones found on IGN and Youtube. GW2 has great looking graphics from what I have seen and like atleast 3 times better char creation options than TOR has. I have not played it myself and have no plans to anytime soon. But I know some who have played it and they are excited for it's release. TOR and WoW also will lose some players to it I am sure.
Trust is something which is earned.

It's just really sad to see the direction this MMO is headed. Not pretty.
they say that now since its new... its shiney... talk to them again in 3 months

I do admit, however, that I might be one of those players that shall unsub once this game is truly recognized by a majority of the MMO players as a sunken TORtanic when the time comes.
lol... really??

players asked a lfg tool they got one.
they asked something to do about low pop servers you are on a crowded one now! you asked higher AA settings , you got them.
you asked to make levelling alts less tedious , , you got xp boosters. and im sur ive forgotten stuff.
and here you and others telling the rest or at least give the impression that they dont listen to feedback. play the game or leave and come back when you think that you will enjoy it then.

The game appeals to me and to many others. Thanks Bioware, Lucasarts, and EA.

I haven't played since day one but I have been playing for 5 months. I only have one level 50 but I have 6 more toons between level 25 and 41 & I still find this game fun with plenty of things to do. My HUGE problem with this game is the overkill "voluntary" server transfers. Many of the people playing this game like low-mid population servers & smashing everybody into already full servers is just another way they are causing people to unsub. Yes I like to group with people for some content but since the storylines are such a big part of this game 90% of the time I don't need there to be 200 people on a planet with me. Go ahead and tell me "it's an mmo if you don't like it...blah blah blah" you are entirely missing my point if that is what you think.

There are alot of things I enjoy about this game. But there are also some things that wear my love and dedication down. I currently have 5 50s 2 mid 30s and a 10. 2 of my 50s are run EC and the other 3 are in the HM OP progression stage.

Things I like.
Companions- I honestly cant think of another game that provided anything remotely as fun as this.

Story-This has been one of the most fun and enjoyable parts of the game, lots of chuckles and good times going thru the story lines of the republic classes and the few imperial classes.

Crafting-I have always been a big crafting and I do like the crafting system in the game.

The look and feel-There are some really beautiful scenes in the game and the planets are well designed and beautiful albiet a bit to linear. The sounds of moving thru snow or wet ground are well done also. There are some things I miss like weather cycles and day and night but I am still ok with it.

End Game Content-I really enjoy the current content structure and how its more about cordination and playing smart rather than just being a tank and spank.

Things that drain my enthusiam for the game:
Credit sinks-I am the type person who makes things for guildies and as such i am not able to sell alot on the GTN so tend to have to constant grind out dailies to get money. My solution would be to remove the credit sink involved with removing mods. It is really silly to be paying that much to have a force ghost unlock a mod so we can remove it. Why not have a vendor sell something for less money that will unbind all mods in an item, anything but this current system.

Datacrons not being legacy wide is another grind that wears on me.

Lack of meaningful world pvp areas where there are things to capture that gives your side a xp bonus or something to help get people involved in it.

Lack of customization at character creation and the absurdity of some of the endgame armor. Also the fact that medium sentinel armor doesnt hide the hood.

I really do enjoy this game alot and am fortunate to be part of an awesome guild. I am hoping that we can get 8 more character slots soon which will expand my enjoyment for a even longer period of time.

As far as the people talking about guildwars 2, I played 1 for a year. I played some in the beta for II and to be honest i think there will be alot of folks disappointed in it at release. I might pick it up next year after some things are ironed out but I will still be playing here as long as Bioware continues to show they are working to make the game more enjoyable.

Hmmm, I'm not sure if fanboi, or troll. I'll go at it, anyways.

We got a LFG tool. Could it be improved? Yes. They did something about queues and low pop servers. Could they have done it way better? Yes (way, way better...). They made leveling alts less tedious. Yet is it still a grindfest? Most definitely.

God, I can't wait till you're knocked back into reality that this game wasn't the game changer for all MMOs everyone thought it was gonna be.
