Clear and succinct. No wall of text necessary.

And even if the game was "not dying so badly" why would anyone want 500 planets in the game anyway? 99.9% of them would be empty and have no real content on them haha What's the point of having tons of planets if they won't be used?

Then that's the developers fault again if people ended up with nothing to do.

Eh.

Things get what they deserve. People are hyping GW2 up because it is approaching MMOs differently and maybe people are ready for something new? No one is 'chasing' shinies. People are disappointed with a game and as a result look for a new game to fill that void. If SWTOR wasn't a disappointment I'd be less excited for GW2.

People are hating on SWTOR for a reason. Nothing is 'Overrated' or 'Underrated' two of the most overused words. Maybe that many people just don't like the game? The game has lost a lot of subs so that seems to likely be the opinion.

The game also retains a lot of subs so it's all opinion.
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

Yeah, second most played MMO according to Xfire, 12th most played game overall...

And GW2 is not doing anything new or different, what they are doing has been done before, unless you only played WoW all your life, then yes, its gonna look fresh

Well it's all opinion. Saying another game doesn't deserve it's hype is opinion.

It has retained a lot of subs, it depends on how you look at it. It had a lot more subs to begin with than most other MMOs and still lost a ton of subs. We'll see, for the most part it's only been losing subs.

Also the people that are going after the next big thing left this game looong ago. They were on the first train out, those are the content locusts...those people left already. Now some of the more loyal of players are leaving. The players that HOPED to see this game succeed and are disappointed that it is not.

The players that hoped that this would be the Star Wars game to last us for years and years. Calling people haters just because they are not particularly fond of the game anymore is a bit old and tiring.

What other MMOs has given up the holy trinity and does not have a gear grind at the end?
