Like Star Wars Galaxies? LOL!Quote:
though I did acknowledge it in order to appease those that don't realize that there are better MMOs out there.
Let me guess, you've joined in on the meth craze that's taking over the South.

Considering you never hit 60 in WoW, and you certainly didn't play SWG long enough to see 10% of what as there, I'm not too concerned with your overall opinion of the genre. There is far more depth and content in SWG. The fact that it is less easily accessible is a good thing, because it keeps the casuals and kiddies out.Quote:

Ignorance is bliss. The difference between the two games is that SWG just begins when the grinding ends. WoW ends when the leveling stops.Quote:

edit: I should mention that I have said before that WoW is more fun for a short time. I took a break from SWG to hit 60 in WoW in just under three months. My frustration with the game came once I was 60, so you would not have experienced that piece.
I became a Master Marksman and was working on Pistoleer, and I got to Novice Bounty Hunter. The amount of XP required was huge, and the novice BH missions were incredibly boring and stupid (find some obscure location and drive out to the middle of nowhere to knock off some random NPC). Most of my time was being spent (A) lining up for buffs and then going to another planet and getting into a solo group, doing stupid missions by myself. The downtime between fights was long, especially if you happen to die. Every character in the game looked exactly the same in combat because the only viable armor was Composite, and the characters who played dancers and the like were the worst sort of MMO roleplayers (calling you "hun" and shit).
And yea, I tried crafting, it was boring, the interface was clumsy and required way too many clicks, and hunting for materials was slow and arduous.
I'm glad you liked the game, I really am, but after a certain point it was just way too much work and not enough fun. I really couldnt find any way to call it a great game or one of the must haves, even if I did like it a lot. Even the Star Wars theme was poorly done overall, what with the Jedi running around in starports and shit and the emptiness of most cities in the game.
A lot of those points were valid at one time. It's a shame you picked BH in your first template, because that Investigation tree is a bitch. Most of the rest of the stuff you mentioned, buffs, solo groups, and composite domination have all been fixed. The entertainers being useless will never change, unfortunately.Quote:

Without question, the best MMO is between WoW and SWG, so if you don't like the Star Wars universe, that makes it pretty obvious. ;)Quote:
