Amen to that, but you must realise also that WoW have a 7 year backup for fixing bugs!

I think that's part of the issue, but not all of it. You cannot compare WoW today with SWTOR today. It's just not fair to either game. A more apt description would be WoW when it was first released vs SWTOR today.

My PC can handle BF3 on max settings at 80+ FPS running with ~68c graphics card. Skyrim on max settings with graphical improvement mods at 90+ FPS running with ~72c graphics card, etc.

With SWTOR I have to force VSync on through Catalyst because otherwise my card runs at almost 90c at 70 ish FPS. Even with VSync forced on this game will put my card at ~82c on low settings. It's a complete joke.

My friend experiences the exact same thing and his rig even more powerful than mine - we're talking Core i7 990X OC'ed to ~5 GHz, 12 GB DDR3 CAS-7-7-7-20 and dual GTX 580s in SLI. Yes, he's disabled SLI for SWTOR because it runs like sh*t, makes no difference.

The game's engine is FUBAR and terrible optimised.

lmao I get stuck in rocks in this game.... And in elevators...
The next sentence is true. The previous sentence is false.

Athiss - Boss puts nasty dot on random player that can strain healing if not cleansed. Boss vanishes, and 4 flames (that cannot be damaged) move toward players. These must be avoided or people can die. The boss cannot be damaged during this phase. Not a tank and spank.

Mandalorian Raiders - Boss leaps to one of four platforms, spawning 2 strong turrets that can shred DPS or healer if not grabbed and dealt with. Also, if they are ignored and you continue to DPS the boss, he will leap to another platform, spawning 2 more turrets, further straining the group. Not a tank and spank.

Cadamimu - Boss repeatedly calls for rockets to be launched, forcing all players to be aware and move, or they will die in the exhaust flames. Not a tank and spank.

Seriously, you were either sleeping through these, you didn't do them, you did them when you were 10 levels over the FP, or you had high level people take you through.
Dude you obviously do not know what tnk and spank means..

1. HS the tank picks up the adds and evrything ends up being tank and spank..

2. Athiss you dont need to cleanse the dot any average healer can keep everyone alive through the whole fight and the tank just tanks and the healer heals and the dps just dps..

3. MR..Again you can move as a group and tank and spank this guy with the tank takign aggro...

4. Cade.. again everyone moves together and avoids the vents/aoe and its just tank and spank..



Anyway I am talking about the instances and group content as a whole and not just boss fights... So yeah try harder to make more excuses...

I'm curious to know how you would describe something that is not tank and spank then?
SWTOR has potential, but too many features are missing

You obviously have no clue what tank and spank means. Tank and spank is stand in one spot, tank grabs boss, dps spanks boss. By your definition, every single fight in any MMO is a tank and spank.

Lvl 36 content is ALWAYS easy how can you make the basis of complicated mechanics that are normally only introduced at max level?

Why do so many of you insist on talking double standard crap?
