BUT BUT BUT, you need to compare WOW NOW to SWTOR.

Deathwing was killed in 3 hours on the 4.3 release. That content is supposed to last 6-12 months.

WoW had them first. WoW sat in beta for like 36 months. EQ2 like 6 months.

I have to say those talking about how planets are extremely huge and what not. Yes they are... very much so. But they're also pretty much barren waste lands. When leveling I was shocked to see more than 2 people outside of the cities.

Actually, they were all in other games before WoW or EQ2 I'm pretty sure.

Let's compare WoW of 2012 with SWTOR of 2012 instead, because that's the only relevant discussion to the consumers of 2012.

Just to be clear, LFR Deathwing was not supposed to last hardcore raiders 6-12 months.

Eh... Not really. I was still the one guy in our 40 man who had to write down and time all of the boss abilities and their cooldowns.
