"Why would you leave it for a worse version with the Star Wars title smacked on?"
I'm not sure, but was that reffering to the amount of content vs WoW has? ToR just released and WoW is on it's third expo.
Anyways,
- I played WCIII and decided to play WoW for the story. For me, the story ended when the Lich King died.
- I'm in SWTOR because I'm really hoping SWTOR will have a more mature community. (less of the a-hole meme, less nerdy faction-fanboyism, more helpful people, etc...) I don't think anyone could honestly defend WoW's community. ATM, TOR's community is looking legit for my preference.
- This is my first Star Wars game. I joined WoW kinda late, and I want to see how it's like to play an MMO since its release and watch it grow.
- Blizz broke my class. (lolz, I'm using that excuse)
- After a few years WoW got repetitive; PvE and PvP. Even some might might call this game WOW: TOR, it's still something a little different and new.
