Can't wait for the comms cap to get raised and removed.
I'm not sure you can take the credit for all the good things being added to the game,but I do think as a community we have made some impact to the decisions made by the devs which is a good thing in my opinion.

No other MMO has caught my attention at all. SWTOR is just bad**** and it has a lot going for it but it lacks in the PvP dept imo. The warzones just aren't very interesting and I have no motivation to grind for PvP gear. What would motivate me? Have a few Operations that combine both PvE and PvP. 4 Imps with 4 pubs (or 8 and 8) unite against a mutual foe to take down a few bosses together with the drops being both PvP and PvE, you'd get warzone and PvE comms as well. The Operation then ends with some type of epic PvP battle when the alliance is broken and the winning side gets a nice bonus reward. That would motivate me to PvP more . Sorry, got a bit off topic but ya, this game is pretty sick.

It's not a game that can retain players on the long term.

PvP queues are taking longer and longer, guilds doing progression are shrinking, GSF pops are infrequent sometimes nonexistent for hours, content has been dumbed down and made "tactical" in order to shrink queue times.
You seem to be misinterpreting the point of this topic, with general observations can we see players coming back to this game after the ever more disappointing MMO releases? I think SWTOR has stabilised and built up enough that people bored of WoW but also disapproving of the latest releases are seeing SWTOR as a stable enough alternative right now to consider it a viable option for the near future.

no its not and never will be.

it failed as a pay to play game and its failed as a p2w title. the dev team is tiny, the playbase is leaving faster then any other player base. theres no new content coming in outside some poorly planned events and rehashes of old content. ops are not getting anything new. pvp is broken and is not getting fixed or any new pvp maps. you will never see class stories bioware can't even get voice actors back into the game. everything is about the cartel market and conning the players out of more money.

tor is only on the way to getting sunset by the end of the year. other games like wildstar, tsw, eve are growing and will be huge. tor? it's just going to be something people point at laugh at.

It was never trying to be P2W to begin with...

SWTOR is growing! ESO is a failure. WildStar is for 3-5 years old. WoW is out-of-print + boring.

Meh, I'm enjoying ESO. It's something different to do instead of farming the same old operations. I'm never going to be a NIM raider so "new" DP doesn't hold any appeal. I'll definitely be coming back for more of Forged Alliances (as long as the NPCs don't continue to look like plastic)

I dont like Medievel stuff , maybe that is the reason to find ESO boring. The only cool thing about this game is the First Person Mode. It would be nice if we have that in here. First Person lightsaber fight I know its it's impossible , but ... we can dream What was the name of this "helmet" for more realistic gameplay ?
