Well I really wanted to keep the questions objective, and I still think they are -

option 1 - we all know that TOR is very close to WoW in itīs concept design, players who are fine with that just pick this option, why not? Nothing to do with "fanboy" or not, WoW was/is highly profitable.

option 2 - is a hybrid solution which expands/alters the original WoW concept in another, less linear, less WoW direction

option 3 - for everyone who loved SWG and wanted SWTOR to be SWG2 but got disappointed

option 4 - for the Star Wars brand fans who just play everything as long as it is called Star Wars


I really donīt see what should be wrong with these questions.

Read your "poll."

The options are three choices of "fanboi" and one choice of "SWG was the pinnacle of MMO development."
Perhaps that isn't what you intended, but what you wrote came off as snarky and condescending to anyone who disagreed about SWG.

SWG died. Rest n peace. BW has made it abundantly clear they have zero intention of adding in sandbox features, or anything that the disenfranchised SWG players have been used to. Not going to happen. No flight sim. No space mining. No space PvP. No sandbox.

Which utterly baffles me why in thread after thread the old SWG diehards try to craft this game into SWG 2. There are emulators and servers out there for SWG! You CAN go home again! Yet instead you stay here, obviously miserable because TOR is pointedly NOT SWG, and never will be.

.
Perhaps you read a different poll, but this one is about the choices:

1. I like the TOR concept exactly the way it is (WoW style)
2. I want a slightly different concept (something in between of sandbox/themepark)
3. I want a completely different concept (full sandbox, SWG style)
4. I donīt care about the concept as long as itīs Star Wars

I hope this was helpful for you to read between the lines.

Pretty ridiculous. The interpretation of the intent of the choices on the poll makes me think that posters just dont want to see a poll that doesn't go their way, so they trash the poll. It's a freaking forum poll, it's not scientific, it's not an accurate measure because the sample is so tiny. Gimme a break

I picked 2, although I have considered 3 at times.

ToR will never be SWG. Deal with it.

It's fine as theme park.

I just needs more rides fast. Once you finish your story it's just another game with less content.

I enjoy this game and more rides or even just more maps would help alot

SwTor is basically a single player game masking as an MMO.

This game lacks any type of true social aspect that would bind a community together. There are no reasons to form hunting parties or just gather at the local cantina and shoot the bull. That is a major reason why this game will not hold a lot of people. MMO's need options to come together to accomplish things.

Sure, you can go into FP but they don't last long and the repetitiveness quickly bores you to tears. Ops are far too easy to hold any guild's attention for very long either.

People want to do different things, not the same ole crap over and over again. Variety is an undervalued commodity these days and game producers have completely forgotten it due to the success of a certain game that we will not utter the name of.

In the end, the game has its good parts (story) and its terrible parts (end game content and lack of social aspects) so its truly up to the person's playstyle and preferences.

For me, my account is now cancelled, bored to death with the repetitiveness and after playing aforementioned game for years, the similarities here to that are too much for me to bear again.

GL with the game, enjoy what you enjoy to play but I truly hope that the devs incorporate some sandbox type activities that can be used to enhance the players experience.

quite true, agree on your post.

It is always funny how many people here see the blatant game design errors and gaps of the concept, although Bioware does not realize how far off this game is from the expectations of the majority.

that's like saying a glass of water is "too full" when the glass is completely full of water.
