What to expect from MMO QQ'ers

stage 1: (pre release) bash former new mmo and claim the next one will be it
stage 2: (release) test the game and get hit with reality
stage 3: Proclaim unrealistic death of said mmorg
stage 4: blame fanboys, therefore labeling yourself as a non fan
stage 5: pay monthly subscription to continue to complain about said mmorg
stage 6: claim guild wars is the NEXT big thing
stage 5: revert back to stage 1 and continue the never ending cycle of hypocrisy
repeat

if your gonna play the part atleast do it right...
And what to expect from MMO Fanbois

stage 1: (pre release) a super hypering of the game
stage 2: (release) Realisation sets in
stage 3: proclaim it's the best launch ever
stage 4: visit forums to demonize any nay'sayers
stage 5: pay monthly subscription to prove the game is worth paying for
stage 6: visit forums to demonize any nay'sayers
stage 7: tell all nay'sayers to go back to WoW
stage 8: proclaim the game is best in genre
stage 9: inform nay'sayers the publisher is 'working on' any bugs and blatant omissions
stage 10: label all nay'sayers as hypocrites
stage 11: revert back to stage 4 and continue never ending cycle of idiocy

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
I wish this was kotor 3, that way i could actually turn the difficulty right up.
Tor is way to easy, gear rains from heaven, credits are useless and crafting is complete crap.
Im a " semi hardcore " but very serious gamer that enjoys challenge. My fun in video games IS the challenge. I get joy when we overcome certain difficult odds and prevail after many times trying..

Tor lost me and many, many others looking for challengingand indepth gameplay. A 10 year old could get to max lvl and complete raids, and thats a total fail design..

Games in the past where designed for gamers that actually cared about games. In mario, if you where ****, you didnt get far...Tor is all about giving EVERYONE EVERYTHING FOR LITTLE TO NO EFFORT, and when everyone has everything, nothing is special .....

This is the formula and game design they went for, and it worked for ppl new to gaming, but like i said, real gamers are long gone or ( in my and many others persons cases ) will be when their game time runs out....

Sure, the game will have plenty of people playing it, but a large percentage will be newcomers or star wars fans that dont care for challenging nor engrossing gameplay, they are probably just happy sitting on the fleets station , chatting inguild.....

Second sentence of the OP made me think of the Energizer Bunny...
Hi! I'm Darth Harrington of Darth Harrington's Intergalactic Proton Powered Electrical Tentacled Advertising Droids Emporium and Moon Base. Due to a garbled subspace transmission, I am currently overstocked on all Intergalactic Proton Powered Electrical Tentacled Advertising Droids, and I am passing the savings onto yoooou!

Being realistic, the huge problem is;

carebear == $$$$
difficult == minority audience

What we need is a publisher to publish for the gamers rather than the investors. Unfortunately there aren't any about right now

And there NEVER will be. Remember, this is a game but ultimately this is a service and EA intends to profit on their service.
