UI? Lol! I actually much prefer TOR's UI over WoW's...esp after they let me customize it. I wish WoW would do the same. I donot use any addons/mods in WoW. Never have. There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking a good feature in any other MMO and applying it to TOR. And TOR certainly needs to use some.

LOL, they new what they were doing.

The said in like 2008 or 2009. It was going to be way more story and single player focused. Now they are passing the buck to the forums lol

You can so almost anything to WoW UI, with a couple of the good mods

It's not even close.

But WoW was the first. All of the MMOs you listed were post-WoW and were borrowing from their design, which is now considered standard-faire in MMOs. So yes, those are valid examples. Esp since I remember reading several posts like, "Why don't we have a group finder like WoW?" Discount this how you will - he asked for examples, and we gave them.

Blaming customers for the decisions of the business has to be one of the most unprofessional moves I've seen in a very long time. Its up to the business to decide what's best for its product, and if they choose to feel that what's best is to listen to the convoluted yammering of all their fans, then that's their choice. Don't blame the fans for your choices Bioware/EA. CCP doesn't listen to ALL its fans ALL the time, because it knows some of the suggestions made by fans are foolish and misguided. Blizzard doesn't listen to its fans all the time, because it knows a lot of what the fans says are not plausible or sustainable. You made your choices, now live with it.

Actually, no. Dungeons & Dragons Online had it first. It was part of their Social tab. It was bare bones, and was pretty much exactly what TOR's original group finder was before the LFG in game now, but it was quite a bit before WoW's LFG.

And as for the "I remember reading" defence, I also remember reading things. Several posts where the players specifically said they never played WoW, had no intention of playing WoW, and so had no idea what was in WoW. But they do remember what was in the game they did play often, and wanted things from those games. Things like a Group Finder, or add ons, and so on.

You missed my point about not using mods did'nt you? Looking at it with no mods...I think TOR's is much better.

I had to laugh when I read the link in the original post.

More like KOTOR than WoW? What was this "Anonymous Insider" smoking?

This game has much more in common with WoW than KOTOR.

The REAL reason? Read my sig,
