What you fail to understand is the fact that Bio Ware did change the "core" of the game in a way, and shifted it to something else. Pre 1.2 healing was the "core" of pvp, not so much now. People say that a dps is more important now for pvp than a healer is, and I sadly agree with them. Healers are still important to some degree. CU, and NGE were actual overhauls of SWG, there is no going around that, however the overall underlying issue with those changes were the changes to the many professions in that game, and the massive nerfs that happened to them. Those changes turned off people overall with that game and consequently they started to **** can it. So yes you can in fact compare the two. The ui improvements to that game in CU and such were improvements I liked, however the nerfs to the professions were what killed me with that game. Once they made changes I found that I wasn't satisfied with the current profession I was in and so I had to make changes accordingly. I'm kind of burnt out with that type of game model, and that is FOTM model every 2-3 months.
