A testament to how well SWTOR has matured to date is the very fact that we are down to a handful of perpetual naysayers working the forum.. and the case they continue to make for the games pending doom is two year old information.

SWTOR is either number 2 or number 3 (endless tussle in the internet between EVE and SWTOR) western market MMO. And it's the number 1 flexible access MMO in the western market at this time. So yeah.....it's in the "show".

In fact.. SWTOR appears to be SO GOOD... that even people who spend all their time hating on it and declaring it's failure and pending shuttering in this forum STILL subscribe.
Quoted for typical fan boy nonsense and zero source to back it up.

Honestly, who the hell cares? I play it because I enjoy it. I also find swords, elf and magician MMOs to be extremely overdone and extremely de-masculating .

Play what you like. If you enjoy SWTOR, who gives a flip if it's "big"?

^ Agreed. Who cares it's a *********** game.

Also, I got a two-handed ebony sword in Skyrim the other day and vendored it asap. I'm not certain but it seemed to cause me a passive DPS loss until I ditched it and reequipped my usual lower stat single-hander.

I love SWTOR
GW2 - was fun for 1 month, then got old fast.
ESO - was an absolute huge disappointment. Cancelled sub within first week and hated myself for not getting into beta to test prior to buying digital edition. I would have realized the game was a flop.
Wildstar - so glad I got into the last beta. I determined in 30 minutes that the game was awful and deleted the beta. The implementation of the ideas was poor, while the ideas themselves behind everything they tried to do, was great.

Do you sincerely believe he means that he loves TOR with the same passion and intensity that we mean when we say that we love our families?

Sincerely?

I need to know if I should stop taking you serious or not.

Yeah man what the hell everyone knows that MMOs aren't chock full of social inadequates or folks pushing off reality.

Yes I do. I wholeheartedly believe that there are those people here who take this game far too seriously and love it far more than they should in a very unhealthy way. THIS video made me realize those types of people exist.

Wait. Was what you quoted meant to be critical analyses? Because most of it is opinion in my book.

Also, I dare anyone that says this game is like Sims to actually go and play that, because it is nothing like it.
