Welcome to SWTOR, the master of homogenization, where every class feels like every other, but the fanbois will claim otherwise! In this game, you are not rewarded for skill or for being better. Instead, you are rewarded for being zergy and unskilled. It is quite a feat of skill when my 4-man premade goes into Huttball and wins 6-0 in the first 6 minutes against someone else. It is also quite a feat of skill to spam one button as an operative/scoundrel or a BH and win. The only thing the MMO community needs to worry about being killed by SWTOR is Bioware. Blizzard has already turned their attention to Guild Wars 2, as it is already clear that SWTOR is no threat to them.

So, you want TOR to go in the Warhammer direction and fail miserably and only see a small increase in players, even after it goes free to play because everything it has to offer is done better in multiple other games?

If a healer was tanking 3 DPS at a time, that healer was facing really awful DPS. Sorry, but whatever healer you saw doing this was a god compared to the DPS who were on him. The only classes that can 1v1 any healer in WOW are frost mages and rogues. ANY combination of 2 DPS can kill a healer without a major issue, though. Except double enhancement shaman. Thankfully, The Old Republic's skill cap is so low that you don't need to be good to kill a healer. You can just HERP DERP all over anybody.

Just roll operative or scoundrel, run around knifing, run away and heal when you get low, then come back and continue knifing. You can get 30 killing blows without dying once because of how much of a joke that spec is to play because nobody can outheal your damage and nobody can outdamage your healing (unless you're terrible).

Have you played this game? This game requires no skill in any facet, so why would they put a skill requirement on ranged?

If you were getting globaled as a "rank 3", you're probably the worst rank 3 out there. You couldn't get globaled if you were even semi-competent in Wrath or Cata. You're probably a 1800 player who felt he was a rank 3 player being held back. Learn to play a game with a skill cap comparable to a turn based RPG... Yeah... BradFett, you'd probably eat a literal bag of donkey crap if it said "Star Wars" on the side. This game is going to be under Rift in terms of subscribers in less than three months.

Mostly correct. - There's too many specs that can just stand there and spam one button without skill and win. Optimal? No. Viable? Yes. - Most of the healer/DPS hybrids can put out the close to the same damage as a full DPS, while also being able to run away and heal to full, while the pure DPS is stuck doing nothing. - Interrupts are useless. I locked them out of an ability for 4 seconds? Awesome! Wait, no, that does basically nothing, because everyone has other abilities to just turret. The PVP in this game has an abhorrently low skill cap. It isn't skill based PVP; it is zerg based PVP.

You'd probably love it if you couldn't find any enemy player? So, you can find enemy players, which makes you not love it? So you ruined the game, being a carebear and all? Glad we established that, please quit.
