I can understand wanting other things; there's a ton of new things I'd like, and things I'd like done differently.
But really, if you're coming into SWTOR and wanting to change one of the core aspect of it (its "thing"), then perhaps the problem is that you're not the target audience.
This exactly.
The game is indeed lacking gameplay wise, but its appeal is undeniably the voice over work.

I don't understand why I would need to trade. The benchmark is now both for major updates and or expansion packs as this game evolves. That is what I expect from this game and in large part why I play SWTOR.

Absolutely not, SWTOR would not have nearly as much appeal without voices.

not the game for you, story is what this game's main focus is.

NO WAY! Voiceovers are what make this game great, I can't express how pants this game would be without voiceovers which are definitely one of the best, if not the best, features of the game.

Maybe I've misinterpreted what your saying here but I really can't see how this game would work without voiceovers. The cutscenes would just seem weirdly silent, and the action therefore out of place. You just cut some one down without saying anything (just a couple of subtitles). One of the most important aspects of Star Wars, the films, games, comics, everything is what people say. I can't think of another film series in existence with so many memorable quotes as Star Wars (i'm sure everyone here can recite at least one word for word) Can you imagine what it would have been like if Vader had said "No, I am you father" in subtitles? And then Luke just hung there doing nothing, while some subtitles said NOOOOOO! So cutting out voiceovers in exchange for more 'MMO' features would just make this game another MMO, nothing special. Not to mention making an absolutely terrible sequel to the KOTOR series and tarnishing everything the represented. it would be the worst game ever ever ever, ever.

Wow!

I really expected most people to agree with the OP. Good to see some positive replies... If all you want in a MMO is to have the highest stats, best gear, and PvP PvP PvP then not only are you totally missing the piont of MMO's, but you're going to become bord with any and every game that comes along. Real quick.

First of all - i didn't wrote my opinion. I just asked others. So much for "agree with the OP".
And question wasn't about stats or some PvP, but actually about things that makes MMOs - ability to interact with world, look different then others, make it more like living world (ability to sit on chair (!), players houses, custom ships, etc.). Short - things which had even old Ultima Online.
