It would be great to have a SWTOR (or other MMO) on Xbox One with an SDK that allowed 3rd parties (and even player/programmers) to write their own kinect interfaces. I'm not saying "do everything through kinect" but it has the potential to provide a console game with a very rich and powerful interface.

I will be surprised if the next PlayStation does not ship with a kinect like camera as standard equipment. Sure, this won't be for years but it will be cool when it finally arrives. I'm hopeful that with the Xbox One Kinect being standard (and more powerful than the previous kinect) it will get used a lot more by game developers.

Khm.. Khe.. Traitors
On topic: if pvp here will die out, I will just come back to real life and single player games like AC.

SWTOR like it or not has some of the better variation in abilities than most other MMOS, even wow is dumbing down the number of abilities your expected to use.

I am tired of the neglect and lack of change in this game. I look forward to trying out any new MMO thats coming out. Not going to give my blanket approval though. Ever since Rome 2, and Guild Wars 2 came out I have learned not to get hyped up over any game that comes out, especially if the hype is high on it.

The bigger the hype the bigger the let down. ALWAYS seems like games that are hyped up are released too early with too many bugs.
Yeah; I'm not a fan of auto-attack and limited abilities to bind. Just can't get into GW2 for that alone. It's almost like piloting a ship but having a gunner.

If there will come a mmo where it's main focus is on pvp I'll look forward to that, but so far that doesnt seem to be coming any time soon if at all
I'll just stick around and wait, maybe give some new mmo's a try but till I find something better for pvp then swtor, I aint going anywhere.

I honestly don't think there will ever come a game where arena is balanced, cause there will always be a fotm comp with the small team + wide variety of class and spec choices.
Why I hope that we'll get 8vs8 rwz's and they balance pvp around those.
Keep arena alive if there enough arena die hards left but don't make it the main focus of pvp.

Hope someone can help me by recommending a good MMO to me...

Here's what I am looking for.

RVR (I like to pvp for what I view as a reason... not just for stats but where pvp actually affects the world/realm)
FFA pvp (if there is no RvR available)
Huge, fully accessable world with few instances. (I love to explore)
Good story driven PVE (good if it is tied into the pvp somehow to give the world a feeling of continuity)
Good crafting system.
housing/ship/spaceship
player driven market
No arenas (Open world PVP > battlegrounds/WZ)
A support staff that isn't afraid to enforce its rules of conduct / ToS

I know there have been games in the past that had most of these elements. But I am looking for something new.

Actually looking for something else. Heard alot about WILDSTARS.
Going to try it out.
I don't think BW's melee fixating will change, so looking for other stuff, i can pay for.
But always funny seeing a developer buffing op classes and lowering up classes. Makes my day.
