Undeniable Blizzard has a bunch of genius who make their games
1. run on almost all PCs and yet nice graphic
2. very few coding/script to make responsiveness very smooth
These two factors will make the game or break the game, I fully support SWTOR and hope it improve in all aspects. But Bioware has yet a lot to learn to match up with WOW. Consider WOW came out in 2003, after 8years, so-called AAA MMOs still can't acheive what WOW has acheived in terms of technology.
As a long time MMO player, I hope developers can really put their time and money into developing a system/platform that is more advanced than WOW, after that build your game. I felt that SWTOR put majority of the investment into story and voice acting (which is great acheivement), but as a player, what I care the most is my gameplay experience.
I'm really glad this post raised so many concerns and really hope Bioware will do something about it
