Fortunately for me, I'm not a WoW player and only played WoW for a brief period of time before I decided it was not for me, so I don't really care. Interestingly enough, the main reason I didin't stay in WoW also applies to this game (limited appearance customization), yet somehow I like this game better. Though, I suppose part of it is that at least we have orange gear (even though I hate how limited it is compared to games with more extensive, cumbersome and flexible customization options). Anyways, I know there game could use a couple more features and improvements. But the game is still new and I have faith that the Devs will continue to improve upon it over time.

LFG tool, character responsiveness, good UI, etc. High five, sir.

Okey my point here is this. "WoW is full of children" which tbh its true and will soon grow to be more true with the introduction of Pandas and Pok�mon Star wars is a dieing IP sadly.... probably one of the greatest ever made and 95% of its followers are 16 and older the majoraty of which are in their late 30's - mid 40's the other 5% are the children that watch the clone wars series on TV or have parents that love star wars and are currently to young to be playing an MMO so for the most part I would assume this comunity to be more mature than wows "I'm a dick and I can get away with it" comunity.

If that's your main reason, you'd probably like to know they finally, after years, addressed this, and there is an appearance tab now. It feels like hell froze over, but they did it.

Bioware will probably remove the "greed" button i next patch. then your on a bad server on most realms people are polight enough to ask first.

It's compared to wow because the choice of which MMO to play isn't between SW:TOR and WoW from 7 years ago, it's between SW:TOR and WoW as it is now.

When it came out it got called an EQ clone all day everyday for a year or more because all it did was use the very basic MMO template and improve upon a few tedious UI features/quest features...ooh so amazing. Wow being successful doesn't make it great. Jersey Shore is successful, MTV is successful, Justin Bieber is successful, Sarah Palin is successful, etc. The only one who sounds like an idiot is you for thinking quantity equals quality. Cheap and easily accessible equals quantity. WoW is cheap and easily accessible to anyone with ANY computer. Most if not all other MMOs require you to have a gaming PC to make them look good and run fast. The fact that you don't even know why WoW was successful is laughable considering you're the one who brought it up. Most people aren't gamers, most people don't own gaming PCs/laptops, and most WoW players aren't gamers. Do the math. WoW was many of their customers first game period. Once again sir, I like you

Most of the budget? Based on what knowledge? The most common budget estimate for this game was 135 million. Are you suggesting they spent something around 100 million on voice acting? Being upset about a game does not justify complete disregard for common sense. Aristotle hates you.
