Great postings here. I wanted to say that I came to SWTOR from Rift, WoW and GW2. I am really enjoying this game so far. During my time at Rift, there was a lot of negative comments on 50 chat and in the guild about this game, but honestly, I'm glad I tried it. I stopped playing Rift because there were way too many changes happening in such a short period of time that it became more about respec'ing than just playing. When I received the keys to my ship, I ran a space mission and I was blown away. It was awesome and I can't wait until they reset so I can run them again the next day.
Only some minor changes to SWTOR would make me personally really happy, even though I know it's not for the best of the whole. Mounts available at level 15 or 20 and a smaller aggro'able radius of enemy npc's. Being low to mid leveling, I'm constantly fighting my way in and fighting my way out on every quest, and I know the reason, but that's my personal play style.
