Yeah because other games don’t add new stories/quests and just focus on pvp/pve...
Wow could had be a barren game if it wasn’t for its stories, look at bfa all the hate over fictional characters , very heated topics on their forums over lore.
Then look at other mmos who just add gameplay additions to their pve/pvp and they struggle to maintain players, because of little to no story.
And story is a part of an mmo player..... especially when in swtor as it was a main selling point.
And if EA can’t keep up they may as well shut it down, because other games have better pve/pvp content from swtor.
For me its a mixture of all that keeps me in swtor, if tomorrow they come out and say no story content and we are focusing on pve/pvp well it will be time to get the heck out for me.
Wow and swtor are my main mmos luckily they don’t have that mind set to focus only on pve/pvp and try to appease everyone.
