Alot people forget that this game is new...

Because the automobile industry has a level of competition as well as industry norms that every manufacture has to adhere to.

New cars that are released without seatbelts, power steering, heating/air conditioning don't do well no matter how cool they look or how new they are. Sooner or later the newness wears off and all you are left with is an inferior product that doesn't last that long.


Now, replace:
- "Automobile" with "MMO"
- "Manufacturer" with "Gaming Company"
- "Cars" with "Games"
- "Seatbelts, power steering, heating/air conditioning" with "combat log/UI customization/endgame content"

and you see why.

I don't think anyone expected SW:TOR to have the full depth of all features WoW has, but some things are just so basic it's hard to believe any modern MMO releases without them. Things like a combat log, macro's, or some semblance of UI customization. Now we might even forgive all these oversights, if other things like end game were at least well designed, but even that's not really the case. It's bland and buggy as hell.

For SW:TOR, it seems they put everything into the leveling up story line, which is great, I really did enjoy that part. I just don't believe it has any amount of lasting appeal right now.

Sorry but that is silly, mmo companys do not have regulations that they have to adhere to for health and safety and they do not have regulations for what goes into the game which is what car companys have to follow.

What your proffessing to is akin to saying but why does a merc have sat nav but a ford its an optional extra. get some perspective already.

And you can trust me i know the rules and regs of what has to be in a car for it to be street legal.

If you can post in this thread, you are paying TOO.
If you arent paying anymore, I'll have the pleasure to not read you anymore when you sub time will expire.

I'm enjoying the game. Do I need to justify myself?
I dont think so.

My sub expired on Feb 10th.
How I can still post I have no idea.
Another thing BW apparently botched.

/poop on game

That's why it's an analogy and not a literal comparison?

Pretty hypocritical coming from a narrow-minded hater like yourself :P
Your response is also a good sign of a lack of intelligence. In face of opposition you've got nothing better to come up with than a lazy comment, instead of discussing the actual subject, or actually commenting on what I said.
Go somewhere else and be irrelevant

And as an anology its still flawed as your subjecting to what is under rules and reg, what is under optional extras and also under what price bracket the automobile falls under. Not to mention the fact that cars that do not have some of the things you mention are named as supercars when it comes to optional extras which blows what you say out of the water when using said analogy.

1, They have regulations they adhere to for the health and safety of their game, absolutely. In this market, games that are released that are missing these features typically don't do well and even some of the ones that DO don't always make out for whatever reason.

2, UI customization/combat logs (which has been available in MMO's for years, going on decades) aren't really "optional extras", they are standards. A cross-realm LFG and perhaps even recount would be more of what of an optional extra.

The point is, this game is fairly good and is riding its IP. Sooner or later that is going to wear off. Look around already, many complaints from people who LOVE the game are centered around a lack of people being in game.

A lot of people are stupid.
