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

People say wow has so many fetures and swtor is bad because it does not have them... wow has had 7 years to improve upon its self. Give Swtor a chance and time to put in the things your ******* complaining about.... ¬.¬

WoW was not the first MMO nore was it original all WoW did was take the MMO template and improve upon it by removing things that were annoying (e.g crafting had a chance to fail) it did this with games Such as Ever Quest and so on.

SWTOR has done the same it has take the MMO TEMPLATE not copyed wow but taken the MMO TEMPLATE Which all MMO's use and removed useless stuff, ADDED its own stuff and improved upon existing stuff.

People need to remember WoW its self is a quoat un quoat "Clone" of the MMO's that came before it.

My final point. Who cares if it borrowed things from other games, it happens all the time in everything. just shut up, get on with the game and stop comparing it to WoW; an MMO thats long out lived its greatness WoW "died" along time ago and is just clinging onto life and dragging its self out to long. Its 7 gosh darn years old, its had its time at the top and has set a good standard for MMO's to go by and people should accept the fact its long out lived its awesomenes.

Plz tell me what is new in SWTOR .. plz do i m not trolling i just want to know

BW is like a 5 year old child, they had the chance to do it right the first time by taking the experience of older wiser (wiser by virtue of experience) adults.

But like the proverbial 5 year old, they stamped their feet, huffed and shouted "I'll do it MY way".

Ok, this is "their" way.

As long as the comparison is a fair one, I'd treat them equally.

But the whiners here want to compare a new product with one with seven years of production behind it. That's not an apples to apples comparison.

The whiners here also want to act like producing software -- and an MMO especially -- is the same as building a car. It isn't. They have no idea what they're talking about.



Still a lousy comparison.

The car analogy the whiners use is just as bad as your celphone analogy here.

Producing software is different than building a car in fundamental ways. Producing software is different than producing phones.

But hey, if you're not persuaded, go back to WoW. I find SWTOR's innovations to be absolutely fantastic, and some UI bugs that will be gone inside 90 days don't bother me much.

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.

Crew skills that's about it when compared to all games as a whole. Don't get me wrong I'm loving the game I just wish people should grow up, look at it objectively and admit its not perfect. Then BW can identify what the fans don't like and work on making improvements. That not just this thread it's the whole forum.

This game will become a very expensive single player game for those who keep their subscription. I do not even begin to understand why it is made in such a way since designing MMO open worlds is not hard at all.

By all means - feel free to fire one up so so the masses can experience true genius. Would it be okay to flame and berate satisfied subscribers in your forums? Can we be legends in our own minds and annonymously profess to knowing more than the developer? And - oh yeah - may we be permitted to whine incessantly about the need for mod access because we fear change and hide it behind disingenuous claims of the title having no end game?

Not hard at all ...
