I feel wow has become so massive i will compare it to a star.. It will live on for a very long time but when it goes it will go with a bang.. and it wont be slow but fast in the end. I agree with you and people want so much nowadays that mmo's simply can't sustain themselves you get something like this that is good but has issues of major flaws but don't have many bugs like wow.
I still have friends on wow and the sad thing is i hate the game so much but quite frankly i doubt swtor will support me. I could write walls of text about why but i wont. I don't care anymore .. what i want will never happen.
