I should have known it's a bad idea to create a thread here. Half don't get the point and are fixated on the character creator...
I'll give you an example that affects me. I don't like the UI, at all. Let's say somebody tells me "The UI in *insert whatever game you want* is even worse". That does not change my opinion on this one, does it? I want a good UI here in SWTOR, not in any other game I don't even play or care about.
Also, I'm pretty sure it was my intention to use "game xy" and not WoW, Rift or whatever. Best case somebody would tell me to go back to that game, worst case this turns into a VS-thread.
