Now I am not saying the combat log is a 100% horrible thing, but I do not need one to figure out how to play my class better.
I would just piont out one thing though: it's not always the healers' faults!!!!

Nice post mr OP

But unlike SWTOR, WOW had no other games to compeate with, so people would eat anything. This is 2012, we have MMO's to the left and to the right, so thats the big difference.

And SWTOR even had 7 years of succes MMO to look at while making and planning for this launch. They could see what people wanted and dident want in many aspect.

So did i expect more from SWTOR ? Hell yea, but this is what we got.

Im sure Bioware will do what they can to keep people paying, and im sure a core group of players will stay for a long time. Personnaly im bored after 2 months, it toke almost 7 years to get me of WOW ?

It all comes down to money, Bioware / EA want it, now can they get people to hand it over ? time will tell.

The pot calling the kettle black again I see. However I am rather bored, please tell me about the launch problems RIFT had, I would love to see you tell more tall tales.
Relabeling future patches as Expansions, just like EA Louse said a year ago. Who got the last laugh?

Wow was the worse thing that could have happen to the MMO genre. people want instant gratification in a game now because of this monster. If you played wow in the beginning i remember when you went to the auction house( GTN) you click on the guy you would crash to desktop EVERY TIME. Took them fore ever to fix it. So saying this game has a lot of game breaking bugs please show me with screen shots because i have not seen not one. In a year every player playing this game will be laughing at your old out dated game of wow like we already do now.

Oh that's only a handful of bugs. The full list of broken stuff in this game is too numerous to iterate through in a forum post. So much stuff is broken that when they say things like the "Usable option on vendor dropdowns is fixed" I hardly remember it was broken because I'm so conditioned to not expect anything in the game to work.

I will repeat this for the millionth freaking time because people like you obviously don't understand... THIS GAME HAS MORE CONTENT AT RELEASE THAN ANY OTHER MMO pretty much ever... Rift, WoW, AoC, WAR, you name it, more content here and more being added.
some people have hard time realizing a difference b/w content and features, especially features that are must for mmo. combat log, guild bank, in game event etc.

Game seems to work fine for me.... maybe I'm in that 95% majority though... I can live with that.

I could even mention some single player games...mostly Bethesda or Obsidian games that have *this many bugs*.

Its really don't think it's as bad as people are making it out to be. Compared to a lot of the games on this list its pretty damn good honestly.
