Lack of crossrealm LFG, addons, meters and macros have nothing to do with the reason for this game tanking. The fact that it tried so hard to be WoW in space and fell so short is why it is tanking.

Pointless to try to outline to you what has been meticulously broken down for you fanbois over and over and over and over and over.
No, it's not. it's a BW game with MMO elelments.

Also, what you call QoL improvements are universally are a bunch of stuff only "hardcore" use, because without them anyone can kick their ***. So we don't need them. We don't want them.
THIS.IS NOT.WOW.

now go play something more on your level, dunno CoD with some speedhack, and leave adults enjoy the best MMO on the market without having to read your hate posts



ps

that made you very angry,didn't it? I could hear the scream from here

It's clear to me that this game was rushed to release before it was ready.

The game engine is terrible. I like the game itself, I like the ideas and I think the potential is there. But is wasn't ready. The fact that a huge number of people are having horrible performance issues IS because of amatuerish coding/optimisation.

I blame EA.

The OP is absolutley right, it´s time to thank Bioware for some things:
  • Thanks Bioware for the spacebar to skip the 25th NPC´s worthless storytelling video telling you to kill x amount of type y NPC´s or to collect z amount of c items.
  • Thanks Bioware for unbalanced factionwise server populations.
  • Thanks Bioware for a maximum of 4 (four) quickbars, even MMORPG´s 10 years ago had 10 to provide people the chance to have certain pvp, pve bars
  • Thanks Bioware for not beeing able to move UI elements
  • Thanks Bioware for not beeing able to have usefull hybridspecs
  • Thanks Bioware for beeing unable to have at least 2 different specs without going to pay each time you respec your skills
  • Thanks Bioware for beeing not even able to balance mirror classes (e.g.: sorc/sage)
  • Thanks Bioware for NPC where you can buy the stuff crafters are supposed to provide
  • Thanks Bioware to constrain PvP´ers and Raid´ers to have Biochem on 400 for endless stims and stuff
  • Thanks Bioware for beeing punished to be a healer in PvP getting less medals then DPSers when you acually do your job
  • Thanks Bioware for an open PvP System without PvP, can we have it renamed in Player vs Crate respawntime?
  • Thanks Bioware for battlegrounds allowing afk´ers to leech points killing the fun for their team
  • Thanks Bioware for a Market where you can´t even search for items per name before entering itemtypes (wondering how the EVE online market would look like with such a piece of **** auction house)
  • Thanks Bioware for leaving the gametests to Indian and Argentinian people who seem to be very qualified to say what is supreme for a MMORPG for the US/EU market (Ha Ha)
  • Thanks Bioware to show us in an incredible way how to copy only the worse things of other MMORPG´s without even thinking about what you´re doing.

Oh and I finally and honestly I want to thank Bioware for the experience that you still can get disappointed when you expect absolutley nothing from a MMORPG

How dare you say LucasArts made a great game. It was all Bioware.

This game actually exceeded my expectations but I wasn't expecting much.

The previews made the game look lame and boring but I tried it two weeks ago and have been loving it ever since. After the steaming pile of crap that was Dragon Age 2 I really wasn't expecting much from BioWare but I've been very pleasantly surprised.

WOW has 12 years of development behind it and 4 expansions, and over a dozen content patches. And it only went downhill after Wrath of the Lich King. The WoW of 2012 is not a standard that I think BioWare needs to aspire to.

I am so tired of this argument.

a) I will not give TOR this time, I'm paying right now
b) Most others will not give TOR this time too.
c) TOR has what...6 years of development?

Why are you melting down?

Why is it a personal insult to you that apprently 'the best MMO on the market' is a blatent Warcraft clone with a crappy engine? Trion did more with Rift with less money than Bioware did with their massive budget.

That is just so many levels of fail its hilarious.

This game is fun and innovative. Many new ideas along with many standard issue ones.Plain and simple truth is that for me its the funnest MMO I have played in years. Blizzard zombies have all been brainwashed into being incapable of playing any other thing, any other way than what they have been hypnotized by. I suspect they dont even fully understand why they are so passionate and hateful towards any other game or community.
