The games is alright but I wouldn't put it where the OP has put it. But everyone is going to have different opinions.
So far for me there are lots of things that aren't game breaking but are simply annoying for me such as the UI, the Galactic Market search setup, and not having the ability to examine a window and have the stats remain on screen when you are not hover over it. It makes comparing armor and weapons to buy more difficult.
When you create your character if you can do it when you plan on doing a lot of your playing time. That way you can see how the servers look when your main playing time will be.
