This game would have been fine, health wise, if they had the number of servers they have now at release. Way too many dead servers for too long. When you have a peak of 3 people on your home fleet in a 24 hour time frame, you have problems. I was lucky enough to have started on the Shadowlands and our guild Impetus was top by a mile. People got tired waiting for content and then the player base to recruit our last raid slot as always could never be found. This was the same problem we had from WoW just don't have a dedicated 9/10 or 8th in SWTOR's case.

For me it was simply the fact that it's an MMO. Nothing will ever compare to your first MMO - if you first played EQ, then nothing compares to EQ, if it was wow, nothing will compare, etc. For me it was vanilla wow. They've improved the game in almost every way but it's not the same experience.

I never got that immersive feeling from swtor, something wow was great at. I didn't feel like I was in a galaxy that I could explore, I was in a series of levels(planets) separated by loading screens.

Other than having voice over dialog swtor added nothing to the genre.

For me - and yes I'm being serious - it was in no small part that fuging droid on my ship.

I had problems with aspects of the game play but that obnoxious bastard said the same things over and over and over to the point that if I had to go to my ship I would cut the sound down until I was past him.

If that had been my only beef it wouldn't have been more than something to laugh at, but with the other problems it just became the straw that broke the camels back. He became the symbol for every obnoxious thing in the game.

Everquest was my first MMO and I still prefer WoW over EQ. The camping for spawns got really old in EQ and alternate advancement to stay in high end raiding sucked . Vanilla WoW and BC were better than EQ. I quit and came back a couple times in Wrath and Cata, but it wasn't the same experience for me.

There was no reward for exploring in SWTOR open zones of nothingness. Open World PvP what a joke. Nothing beats Vanilla WoW for that experience. Ilum was a disaster through its 4 iterations.

Problem with MMOs and what keeps playing playing is always being able to advance your character. You cleared your raid this week already and it is Tuesday? You already have top tier PvP gear? All your left with is PvPing more for zero benefit or farming money. MMO's are essentially chase the dangling carrot for better gear and when you are slow at keeping this chase available, inevitably the game will fail.

I won't even get into the HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE performance of SWTOR. You can run Crysis on max settings NP? Well, guess what your going to lag in SWTOR!

Thats what happens to a person who has an addictive personality. I was feeling like Jesse Pinkman.
