SWTOR is less than a month old, wow is 7 years old. Why do people compare?

And you've not given a shed of evidence for your statement. I don't have evidence, all I have is personal experience which isn't evidence. But as I'm not the one trying to post facts I'm not the one who has to back anything up. You said this was the most polished launch to date or something similar, I'm saying back up that statement or admit you don't know.

With as crappy as their UI is I miss chat half the time because I don't like craning my neck to see the chat, so yeah it really does need chat bubbles, a combat log is pretty much a must if you want to do end game so yeah it really does need that, and not being able to SEARCH in the AH? Pretty stupid and yes needed.

I agree. Game developers have become lazy due to the accessibility to the internet. They find a bug and say "we will patch it after release". However, sometimes they find a bug, but have deadlines to meet....You cannot really blame them then.

I didn't ask you for evidence. I asked you for one example.

A UI is something you get used to. Some programs I have used, I HATED the UI when I first used them. Now it does not bother me because I know where everything is. The chat window can be expanded a little bit, maybe that will help?

They could very well be implementing a custom UI. It obviously was not on their top priority list. They were probably worried more about the core game than anything else for the release.

Hos was this most polished launch of all time? I missed it while i waited in queues for over 24 hours total on the weekend.

If people want to compare...start comparing launches. WoW had one of the worst launches in MMO history hands down, and if anyone tries to argue that fact we can do that all day.

So if you want to compare a 7 year old game to a 9 day old game, compare launches and WoW will get trashed.

Not to mention, people keep acting like WoW is some sort of original MMO. There are only 3-4 things in that game that are original ideas. Other than that, everything has been taken straight from other MMO's before WoW and MMO's that have been released after WoW then slapped with a different name is all. Hell, WoW's IP isn't even original as they ripped it straight from Warhammer, and again...added some different names.

The argument is old, stale, and lame, so again. If you want to compare WoW and SW:TOR compare them both at 9 days old, and again...WoW will get thrashed.

WoW had broken classes (ie the Druid) for over 2 years. WoW had holes in the world EVERYWHERE for years until they were almost all taken care of. How long did it even take them to get tier 1 armor graphics in the game? Their 5 dungeons, strath, scholo etc were broken and could be run with 40 man raids (they were 5 mans). WoW's queues make SW:TOR's queues look like childs play and lasted for almost the first year. There were times they broke WoW with a patch and the servers were down for 72+ hours..I can go on all day.

Not to be funny mate but you're a blind fanboy. I could post my experience of another game but I'm not prepared to get into a debate about it unless you can first backup the statement that you made. If you can back it up with hard facts then it trumps my personal experience. However if you had the hard facts I think you would have posted them by now rather than trying to look for specific points to argue. You made a wide statement competing this launch to all other MMOs. You either have evidence for this or you don't.

It isn't just that. Games have also become much more complex in the last few years. It was much easier to release bug-free games back in the day, because those games were much more simple and easier to develop in general.

Also, gamers have become much more demanding. Back in the day games were still ridden by bugs (hell, just think how buggy Baldur's gate was), but players simply were used to it and worked around the bugs. Now they whine and quit in rage

It was most smooth launch of all time in his oppinion. theres the evidence.
