Great post! While I am enjoying the game, and do not have the many complaints others on the forums have - I did feel like SOMETHING was amiss with the game and I could not pinpoint it. But this very well written and thoughtful post does help me understand a bit more my feelings towards it. Although brand new, the game does feel dated in some of its mechanics in contrast to Everquest 2 (which I had left to come here) and other games I had been playing recently. I do feel, however, that SWTOR will adjust quickly and make the necessary changes to catch up to the standards people expect in modern games.
