Certainly not enough to make me quit what I'm playing, buy and start a new game. The only reason SWTOR had a chance to contend with the giant was because of the source material and established fan base. Fantasy MMOs are all the same with one or two "niche" things that try to differentiate themselves from the pack. In the end, if you like that genre of MMO go back to WoW. If you want something different from creatures and castles, stick with SWTOR. So wait because your swords glow, your bows shoot beams of light, and magic is called the force, it's totally different from a fantasy MMO?

By that I mean, being able to roam a wide area and not being restricted by an arena or small�ish PvP zone. + there are 3 sides to spice things up. Ofc if the primary motivation is ganking, killing lowbies/questing people and the likes, then no, GW2 doesn�t feature that. my idea of world pvp is what you see in mmos like Lineage 2 and no,its not always ganking lowbies

Nothing fantasy about the Force, and nothing creaturey about rakghouls or banthas or wampas or krayt dragons or.... Do Star Wars fans just not understand the difference between sci-fi and fantasy? If all it takes is space travel, then count WoW in since they have the Draenei. And flying mounts in WoW are closer to feeling like space travel than anything you can do in SWTOR. It's like a cultish hive-mind around here with everyone somehow thinking this isn't a fantasy game.

I prefer sw:tor due to the art style and GW2 had a in game store where u could use real money on gems which bought xp boosts, money, clothes. I could see this being the downfall as people might get advantages just for having more money. But that's the risk of a non sub game.

Ganking leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to pvp. The Swtor forum attracts trolls because the forums are more fun than raiding dragon soul. Complaining is the new meta game.
