I've seen ALOT of good threads pointing out the flaws which get flamed and turn into a flame war.


But alot of the time it's /v/tards with their "tortanic" because they hate bioware
I *HAVE* Heard that /v/ is really up in arms against this game. Really it's pretty pathetic. I hope SWTOR does really well when they get things in order.

Thats the exact commercial it was even about TOR as you said.

After that we finally get a Master Looter option similar to what other games have but there is no /roll system. There's no trade or vendor buy-back policy. Grinding out 600 warzone commendations so you can go to a vendor to convert half those into mercenary commendations (a completely pointless step added just to make to process more complex) to purchase a bag that may have a piece gear for you but it could be something you already have or something you can't even equip. Unless you've been incredibly lucky with the game's RNG, I fail to see how you can seriously say the game has a good loot system.

9/10th of the reason I don't want to hit 50 is that ridiculous gear grind. I think I'm over the treadmill for loot to kill more bosses/players to get better loot to kill more bosses/players so on so on so on. Especially when their art team seems to be from Mars.

It's all part of the experience to me, I have been going for that stuff, and if I get nothing it makes me try harder.

I'm being hypothetical here. Punch yourself really hard in the face - if you don't pass out, weight train and try again, harder this time. I think that's about how much I dread this RNG bag nonsense.

Honestly that's what I'm looking forward to.

Hey man more power to you. I've been doing that kind of thing since it was fun for me in EQ1. I really hope you enjoy yourself and that you get the rewards you want from it. It makes me happy to see that there are players who will enjoy Biowares system.

Well, this is my first MMO and I absolutely love it.

I don't mind the loot treadmill. It is a visual representation of the progression of my character. What I don't like is the massive amount of stupid RNG in SWTOR's loot system. Some people get decked out in gear quickly while others raid/PvP for weeks and get nothing.

See, this just doesn't make sense to me. It doesn't matter how hard you try. You could show up and AFk and the game could still choose to give you gear. To me, this RNG based system pretty much destroys the loot treadmill progression system.

For the record, I'm one of those people that are ridiculously lucky with RNG (2 raids and I'm pretty much fully geared) and I HATE the loot system.
