Player housing and exploration. Yes I know this is a theme park game. But still...

No. Planets are dead. Not much to do. Feels like a single player game and not a mmo.

I play all sorts of games. I like Modern Warfare and I also liked KOTOR back in the day, final fantasy, harvest moon, gears of war, mass effect, zelda, etc. Thats just from consoles. I know my mmo's to since thats where my heart lies for gaming. SWTOR is not appealing because its a single player mmo with a mediocre story with a box put over it that says THIS IS A MMORPG on the side written in crayon. No thanks. If your so concerned with story you should hope for a KOTOR 3 for consoles not a mmo from Bioware.

No...

Uhh no. I wont play WOW again. But when I did play WOW crafting and gathering materials was what I did. Selling my things on the auction house in a economy that was actually alive is what I did. Thats not SWTOR. Not that that's wrong. But not for me.

I just cancelled my account. You can all have my stuff. Got to level 35 and didn't even have a desire to log in. Here were my issues. NO EXPLORATION. Yes I prefer sandbox mmo's. SWG was perfect for me. But since I enjoyed WOW for years as well I thought this game would be fun still. But even the worlds in WOW had day/ night cycles or something to make it more fun to travel and see the world than what SWTOR offers. This is just long roads with walls on either side it feels. UNINTERESTING CRAFTING/ ECONOMY. The crafting in this is the most uninteresting crafting system I've run by. Not only that but there is no economy in the game. Player built items mean nothing. At no time will I have to search for someone with a maxed out profession to help me make something which adds to community. Let's not even start on the games "auction house". PVP. The PVP in this game is no fun. As someone who spent a lot of time doing PVP in SWG and WOW for years and years and years I know a fun battleground or all out war when I see one. Unfortunately because of the faction imbalance all I ever get is Huttball...omg Huttball... ENDGAME TO KEEP PLAYERS LIKE ME ENTERTAINED. This is the big one. It kind of involves everything I stated above. I don't enjoy raiding that much. People who have said "just wait for them to release more content" are just telling me to wait for new raids. For players like me who were spoiled by the old SWG and old WOW ( who werent raiders ) we want exploration, crafting that matters, player housing, fun PVP, real space combat, and other things that not only entertain us at max level but keep a community going. So thats my opinion on the matter. There's potential with hopefully soon to be released sandbox games like Archeage and even theme park games like Guild Wars 2 which actually are a different kind of mmo. But as for SWTOR its not for me and many others. Unless you wanna raid theres not much they offer us unless they rebuild componets from the game ground up. No...im not rolling a alt either.

Theres more important things to worry about in SWTOR right now...

I think its ok to compare SWTOR to WOW. Yes WOW has been out for years. But its kinda like a couple raising one kid than having another. The parents know what mistakes they may have made rasing the first kid the first few years. When the second kid comes around its easier cause they have lived and learned. It's the same with WOW and SWTOR. Bioware had 7 years of WOW to look at and make right for themselves. As well as another Star Wars MMO a lot of us loved to death. No excuse for what we got.

This.

People posting on here that the OP is wrong is absurd. Just dont cast AOE when they are around? Stop playing the game how you want till they leave? Uhh...

Buy the OP a beer cause he's dead on. I agree.

I agree with the OP. The worlds feel terrible. I feel like I'm stuck on the roads from point A to point B. Maps that don't cater to us who love exploring in mmo's has been a serious turn off for me. Once Guild Wars 2 comes out then SWTOR may get the cold shoulder from me cause the planets this game offers me is no fun sadly.
