If you expect anyone with the username 'FTFlop' to be taken seriously, well I've got some bad news for ya.

Lots of off topic nonsense in this thread as per usual in the SWTOR forums. I will tell you OP that yes SWTOR has gotten better since launch. The Legacy system is amazing, a great achievement of the Bioware devs, who should be proud. PVP is fun, no matter what some people on here say. Leveling is amazing, there is a rich story that changes depending on what class you are leveling, and what choices you make. Player housing is coming and the devs promise it will be different from any other implementation on the market. There is a plethora of things to do once you reach level cap, it's almost overwhelming. They solved the issue of slow queue times as dps while leveling by creating "tactical flashpoints" which don't require specialized roles. Galactic Starfighter is fun for PVP space battles, very well implemented (although I would like to see PVE GSF content someday). Life in SWTOR as a subscriber is great, I don't recommend FTP, unless you strategically purchase unlocks from the Cartel Market. There is also a vibrant community of players that are active on reddit, and that create podcasts (Ootinicast is the best one), and Dulfy's website for answers to all of your questions. As a player who has hopped around various MMOs for years, SWTOR is my current home, for the unforseeable future.

Funny mistake to make yes? One would think that you remembered playing for more than a year rather than only a few months??
I have never queued for 2-8 hours, and I find I hard to belive you have. Unless you were logged in the middle of the night and servers were on low population.

Im calling troll on this one.

Depends what you define as better.

Ability lag has been addressed, server consolidation resulted in good queue pop rates and if you left before the cap raise there are a couple new features. Most notably in pvp terms ranked switched from 8v8 warzones to 4v4 arenas.

But it's still fundamentally the same game, it didn't change into SWG EMU or EVE or whatever. Couple of people in this thread consider that fact = not getting better but it's up to you to decide how sane that is.

Also I know FFXIV hasnt been around for a longtime. A longtime is considered 3-6 months for me
Try Harbinger. the population is genuinely high. I think RP servers seemed to have a lower threshold to what is considered to be heavy status.

PvP queues are pretty quick. Any other queue, if you aren't a tank or healer, is almost never ending. If you don't want to do KDY spam, then you essentially can't run dungeons. If you are ok with KDY all day every day, then you will have short queues always.

More PvP content has been removed than added, and that is an objective analysis. Ilum WPvP is gone (no the "new" even does NOT count since it is a PvE event), no x server when it was promised for ranked 8s Season 1, only THREE WZs added since launch and all more than 1.5 years apart, and then the ultimate removal of ranked 8s FOR the controversial and criticized 4s.

Heck EAware even stated 2.4 would be THE PvP patch and that it would focus on ranked, many PvPers spend lots of IRL money to transfer their toons to the PvP servers for ranked focus, and then they commit a bait and switch and tell us that ranked 8s are going for 4s. PvP guilds are now a thing of the past due to the removal of 8s ranked, and was really the nail in the coffin for SWTOR PvP.
you had to semi-necro a thread to tell us what you have been spamming again and again in every other thread?

also, yeah, 2 expansions on the way, one of which is supposedly makeb-like, and dude, no one is being pressured to buy cartel coins, for gods sake I never spent a dime on cartel coins yet thanks to saving my monthly sub grant and my refferal link I can buy hypercrates!

Looking at the bright side..... 3 more days and he will either move on... or be proven once again to be deceiving in his Wildstar rhetoric.
