SWTOR is less than a month old, wow is 7 years old. Why do people compare?

No, not really. Seems like the other 5% is saying "these things will come in time."

And completely missing the point of the people who are saying "But, why should we wait 7 years for features that are industry standards now?"

Regardless, your hyperbole was the reason I, too, used hyperbole in describing anyone on your side of the issue. If everyone saying there are serious problems here is an impatient baby, then literally everyone else is a BW white knight participating in a forums-wide circle jerk. You dig?

Which brings me back to my original post:

I want it all and I want it now.

I'm not sure why you are taking it so personally, I didn't single you out.

Apologize if I touched a nerve.....

No, what they (and I) want is a game that is just as functional as a game released this decade, not last. Do you understand this, or is everything either THIS or THAT to you? You can be upset with the direction of a game without wanting literally EVERY SINGLE FEATURE of another.

I am not taking it personally, I just think it is the hallmark of a poster not acquainted with critical thinking.

I understand it perfectly.

You want it all, and you want it now.

You are upset because the game doesn't have all the features YOU wanted, right at launch. Even tho they obviously are not necessary to launch. You also can't seem to comprehend (or have the patience) that these things may come in time. You don't want to wait for it? Well, too bad, you're going to have too...or you can leave. It really is that simple. Come back when the game is more suited to your tastes.

You say your not taking it personally, yet you make personal attacks? Yea....

I think because the foundation had already been set and they already had a concept created and a game in place, they wanted to just make sure the game was ready for release instead of trying to redo things to catch up with the competition. Release date delays weren't going to happen so they can go back and try to put the game in development all over again.

Now that the game is out, they can focus on what the competition is doing today.

Even Rift had a customizable UI, Combat Log, Functional AH, and decent combat.........but hey, it's all about voice acting!

In 7 years I see swtor being better than wow.

I don't have any problems with the combat other than some bugs that force the GCD, and some flaws with melee in pvp. Lag, range, etc.

I don't think anyone can defend the lack of a combat log though.

How did I make a personal attack any more than you did? I merely explained what I was conveying. If I explain what you were conveying (i.e. we are whiny, entitled brats), it sounds equally as harsh.

And yes, I was spot on about the lack of a capacity for critical thinking.

I guess you feel people who get angry over any product not carrying basic features of the product type is a whiny, impatient baby, eh?

e: In the end :itisacaranalogy:, this is exactly the same as buying a car with no air-conditioning or heating. Sure, those are convenience features, but EVERY VEHICLE SINCE THE 80s has carried them as standards. It makes sense to be a wee bit miffed that they are not present, and basically calling people who have these problems impatient or "unable to comprehend" anything is laughably dumb.
