lmao.
Yes, heaven forbid I point out that the most popular site for discussing almost any topic might reflect the general interest between two subjects based on the number of people reading said topics.

Your right, I'm sure the 200 people reading up on SWTOR are much more valuable than the 1100 people reading up on Wildstar.

Wildstar will put a pretty big dent in SWTOR for a few months. The great thing about SWTOR is that it is FTP, people can easily pop onto SWTOR when ever they want to raid or PvP a little.

Your own source shows more people subscribing to the TOR subreddit than are subscribed to the Wildstar subreddit.

Your thoughts?

SWTOR is already established and released and has existed on Reddit longer than Wildstar, yet only has 19% more subscribers.

But in turn Wildstar has over 500% more people currently reading it's forums which is less established.

So, you're saying TOR is more experienced and well established and more polished. I can't say that I can disagree with your assessment.

I think we need to look at the validity of the data and your assumptions. First, how popular was reddit when SWTOR was launched? It makes sense that Wildstar would have more active viewers than SWTOR. Wildstar has a wealth of content on the horizon. In addition, people are hoping that Wildstar will see some changes. There is more interest in Wildstar than SWTOR right now.

However, that does not mean SWTOR has to fear WIldstar. They are going to lose people this summer. The loss is due to SWTOR's production schedule during the summer and the nature of the summer season. When 3.0 is released, then an observation should be made.

Your delusion is next level. Your own logic falters at first viewing. Wildstar is a new game and has buzz due to that. OF COURSE there will be views on it. I mean that is a no brainer. Plus Reddit is used on a higher level in the past year as opposed to when SWTOR came out. Hence why even using reddit as an indicator is flawed since it's popularity is recent and will be superceded by the next big thing!

Come on man. Use some logic. Wildstar is an interesting game and all, but it won't appeal to everyone nor be the next killer of anything. It'll draw in a large crowd then once people have to start paying for it they won't and then it'll have it's own following like EVERY SINGLE OTHER MMO POST WOW! This is pure unadulterated logic. SWTOR had hype, GW2 had hype, TSW had hype, ESO had hype and Wildstar has hype. They all end up the same because MMO's are not games that keep the masses' attention. If Wildstar bucks the trend that that would be astonishing and bravo to them, but the game is getting the same feedback every one of its kin get. It's fun, but isn't fun after you play it for a bit. Same that ESO got and everyone else got.

I will say I think Wildstar's combat system is better than SWTOR's. I would love to see a combat system like Wildstar's combat in SWTOR. I think it would lend itself very well to the lightsaber /blaster weapons.

lol wildstar is one of the best games on the market right now. the combat is great, the storyline is awesome and theres so much thats already in it and thats coming. what does tor have? oh thats right no new ops no new flashpoints no new content gsf is now being forgotten about. strongholds is just a cartel market thing for ea to steal more money theres more p2w coming with those jawa vendors and packs.

wildstar is the sleeper hit of the year tor has barely anyone working on it and chances are will be sunset very soon.

IF you feel this way, why are you here? Also, when you say "Pay to Win" I don't think it means what you think it means.
