You keep telling yourself that OP, meanwhile the rest of us will keep playing until something new comes out that actually is the next step after WoW.

MMOs are about dynamic content, not static content (story).

In my opinion the biggest thing is really the dead worlds, the mazes walls and blockades everywere, instances which even get you more claustrophobic and you need to walk the same route over and over, and the way you use your spaceship(which feels like a load screen between load screens instead of being a real spaceship). This entire game is not even a themepark its just a railtrack in a themepark(remember walking back where you came in in an instanced quest? trains need to do the same xD)... To be short everything lacks freedom, even the sentences you chose are not out of free choice but to farm alignment and/or affection points.

It must be changed so the game goes more towards a feeling like this:

Planets/Space need to be changed in this game.

Other MMOs did create free lands and some of the feeling of you are in a world.
All of these changes are very unlikely, as they would be fundamental, rather than incremental.

The main issue, I think, people are having with TOR relates to the main, principal design decision -- that is, to make an MMO which is focused on a storyline, rather than dynamic content. This was always a controversial decision, and now that the game is made we can see why: most MMO players don't want, and don't value, a story-centric approach to an MMO game. It's what Bio does when it designs games, but in many ways it doesn't fit what the MMO market wants in an MMO, I think. Admittedly, even a fan of BioWare's games would probably admit that this approach works much better in a single player game like Mass Effect than it does in an MMO.

Changing this, however, is about as likely as changing the theme of the game to a wild west theme. Because this is a fundamental design premise of the game.

The TORtanic argument is just something low-tier trolls mop up from some neckbeard busy enough to go to that effort to make such an insult.

This game is going to be #1 very soon.

I remember a few months ago all the people claiming this will be the definite wow killer, and all the people flaming G4TV for saying it will die/never reach even a portion of wow subs. Where is your god now commoners? :d Having less than 50 people on imperial fleet on half the servers during peak times sure sounds like an army massing up to face Azeroth.

If this is a wow killer, then I'm seriously sad I won't be a part of such beautiful murder.

This game will continue to grow and get better as time goes on. More planets will get added, more gear, more raids, more planets, more weapons, more major content, more story. This game will be the next mmo giant and the game to beat in the coming years. You just watch!

Listen guys...they are fixing lots of bugs, they are coming out with content, they will keep adding more stuff we want. This is their plan, they launched with the stuff they had and just keep on adding the stuff players want little by little to keep people coming back for more because they will keep releasing content update patches every month or close to that. I believe BioWare keeps the community at heart when releasing this content and just know they can't do everything right now.

The things that you guys want, whether it be sitting in chairs, swimming, day/night cycle, weather, they WILL come in time The heroengine is getting updates constantly and performance issues ARE being worked on! This is one of the smoothest mmos ever and the running looks VERY good. You can't argue that. The environments and running feels natural.

Great game BioWare keep it up

they stole blizzards baby , gave the trolls and elves glowsticks and a patato sack as armor and released it , why this thing took 6 years to create i have no idea.
It sucks , in almost every way , so you can yoda along , i know there's loads of people not taking this crap
Wish i could ask my money back for this overhyped crappy panda clone

Im not saying you are wrong cause i dont know the future , but right now , i would bet on it failing much more than i would for it succeeding.
The Lord said: "QQ enough and thou shall receive it."
The followers said: "I shall QQ my lord, i shall QQ."
And since then , not a single day passed without the QQs being heard.

lol? Just wait until Feb. 1st. That's when Bioware is legally obligated to share their subscription numbers with their investors.
