If BioWare can keep pace with their current content release schedule (2 major content patches in ~3 months, no idea on their timetable for expansions) and Blizzard continues their slow content release schedule (a major content patch ~6 months + expansion every 1 1/2-2 years) they will surpass Blizzard in endgame (and fluff) content in a relatively short amount of time, time that all MMO's need to expand upon the foundation that is the launch product. This game has been out since December 15 and we haven't even see one content patch yet. If you think putting in a flashpoint thats gear was part of the set on launch afterwards is a content patch then kodos to the SWTOR marketing team for getting you to drink that. It'd be like me saying when Blizzard launched ZA/ZG heroics that that was a seperate content patch then the Firelands raid they accompanied. Blizzard takes so long with their patches cause they are beefy and mini expansions.
Our lack of a proper LFD tool will black out the sun! Then we shall cancel our subs in the shade!

Gear is not content btw.

So when Blizzard spilt up ZA/ZG heroics and some features and then released Firelands that was 2 seperate content patches?

I don't know, wasn't there I left just prior to Cata. ZA/ZG are rehashes of old content though, so I don't know if calling them "new content" is entirely accurate. Do you happen to recall the patch numbers?

You're right, but then Warcraft is obviously at the end of its lifecycle and doesn't have the budget it used to. Bioware is still playing catchup, and 1.2 looks more and more like the game they originally meant to ship. What will be interesting to see is whether they can continue this pace while growing the playerbase. If subs don't grow, then I expect EA will cut the budgets & the rate of updates will slow to a crawl.

We are seeing, so far, the same model in TOR. Cataclysm was the exception to this in WoW but the raids easily were considered one raid as clearing both BOT/BWL in one night was common place. Well isnt it also common place to clear both KP and EV in the same night as well? So should we consider them as 1 raid? Because that makes the first argument valid again going by your reasoning.
