Welcome back, OP!
I went through a similar mmo pilgrimage post 1.2. I went back to wow, lotro, rift, tried tera, only to come running back to swtor. I'm not saying that swtor is perfect right now, because there are things that need to be expanded and improved on. But when it comes down to it, swtor has it going on in the right places. I am so picky now when it comes to GOOD story in questing that I really can't tolerate most of the other mmos on the market. (Am I the only one who thinks Gw2's 'heroic personal story quest' is laughable compared to what Bioware gave us?) I love the gameplay, love the content, and I love my server's community (Jedi Covenant represent!)
There are things that swtor needs to get to the next level (more space combat options, more dynamic worlds, achievements, pazaak and other social games) but I'll be sticking around for good while Bioware implements them. I believe in swtor and the team at Bioware, and I'll stick with them for as long as the game is alive (and then, maybe even after).
