Because, OP, I'm playing a game. Not reading a book. Not watching a movie or show. A game. I don't even remotely care about game story.

I had a 15 minute queue last night on my realm.

Wow is your frame rate always that bad?

I don't get 10 minute respawn timers, so I can't answer your question.

On my WoW main, I would raid about 6-8 hours a week and that was it, I didn't do anything else that week. Maybe one hour of arena, tops, but that would be a fleeting thing because I hate arena. Otherwise, I was leveling alts. That's what I like to do. I'm happy with ToR.

I HATE Star Wars. I think it's insipid. I think the fact that Bioware could make a game set 3000 years before the movies and still have the universe look exactly the same as the movies is absolutely ridiculous and appallingly uncreative. I think George Lucas is one of the least talented people to ever make movies and I think the setting and story of the Star Wars movies are ridiculously bad. I would say that Episode IV: A New Hope is one of the cheesiest, most poorly written movies of the 70s. I'm not a Bioware fan. I thought Mass Effect had terrible combat and a boring story. I thought Jade Empire and KotOR were boring, easy games made for people that suck at video games. Dragon Age: Origins was alright until about halfway through the game when it became too easy, even on the hardest difficulty mode. This game, however, is great fun. I love it. I'm gonna continue to play it. I have zero problems with any of it. The classes are all very diverse and fun, the environments are great to look at, the combat is fluid and responsive, the pvp is relatively balanced and very fun, the group content is creative and interesting, and none of it is boring. So yeah, you're wrong.

Have you played Mass Effect? You do know that the defining, core element to a game like this is the combat system, right? Mass Effect? Seriously? This game is not at all like Mass Effect. It is much more of a WoW clone with Mass Effect style dialog. You can't see the forest for the trees. You are looking at the facade and assuming the interior is consistent with the facade. It's not, you're wrong.

Corellia is #1 most boring by far. The poll results are surprising to me. Nar Shaddaa and Taris are easily two of the most fun. Edit: I see what's happening now. The OP really should've put Taris (Imperial), Taris (Republic), Balmorra (Imperial), and Balmorra (Republic) on the list. Taris for Republic has the best story of any zone in the game.

I dunno what that even means. There's a lot of Australian players late at night but that's been the case for every WoW realm I've played on so it just seems natural to me. I get along with the Aussies so more power to them.

No, it's not an exploit because people aren't doing it on purpose. They queue up and they get in and they're an extra player but they did nothing special for this to happen. It's not an exploit. Is this really that complicated? Then again, your orange text leads me to believe that you are merely another troll.

The Swiftsure is an amazing realm. Tuesday at 1 AM server about 2 weeks ago, I did a /who Eternity Vault and there was almost 80 Republic players in that one raid, at 1 am.

Yeah The Swiftsure is my realm. Hasn't slowed down yet. Still going very strong and people are very positive and enjoy the game in all the chats I partake in. Such a strong contrast to the doom and gloom you see on these boards.

My server is always populated and hasn't had even a slight drop since Launch. If you're right, I hope the queue isn't too long tonight. It was only about 2 minutes last night.

I don't understand this post. If I don't like a game, I don't "try" to like it. I don't play it. I went into this game expecting a horrible game. To my surprise, it's a very passable and fun WoW clone. I'm enjoying it. I'm not a Bioware fan or an EA fan or a Star Wars fan. I hate all three of those. I'm confused. Very confused. This is a very fun game and I'm not a fan of any aspect of its development. I'm not some deluded fanboy. I'm just a guy that likes to play games and has fun with them. If I hadn't had fun with this game, I'd have quit it and went back to WoW over a month ago.

Why the hideous orange color text? I read up to you saying that they had more than 8 players in a WZ and called that an exploit. One of the first WZs I did several weeks ago when this game was released? There were 16 Republic players in the Civil War FP. I see this about once a day, maybe. There's something bugged with the FP queues. It's not an exploit. It's a bug. And it's not even that big of a deal.

It's very, very easy to find groups for HM FPs at 50. Much easier than leveling flashpoints, which are already easy to find groups for.

Sit... and wait? I spam while I'm autorunning between objectives. I would never wait.

Why would you feel sorry for us Republic players? Last night, at about 3 AM server before bed I picked up a heroic quest in Hoth. I then immediately type "tank lfg <Heroic Quest>" and within 10 seconds, I had an invite. I accept it and my new party leader, a healer, types "LF 2 DPS <Heroic Quest>" and within 30 seconds we had our dps. We did the group quest and as we were heading out, someone said "do you guys wanna do <Heroic Quest 2>?" After sharing the quest, I said that I wanted to get a nearby Datacron so we do that, kill the champion guarding it, then head out and do our second group quest. As we finish up that quest, another party member says "hey there's an Area 4 nearby" so we go and do that as well. My only complaint is that it's so easy to find groups that I don't get to bed in time and wake up tired. Remember, this started at 3 AM server and ended at 4 AM server. Don't feel sorry for the Republic. We're doing fantastic. It takes me on average 5 minutes tops to find a group for a flashpoint or a heroic 4 quest.

Why do you type like that? BTW, why would I want to go back to old zones just to do nothing gameplay oriented? I play MMOs for gameplay, not for socialization. Sorry bro, I represent the majority. We don't want what you want. SWG failed. It should not ever be emulated.

Perhaps you should learn how to dispel.

Frost mages aren't that strong, actually. Not sure why you would bring up frost mages as a proof that WoW was imbalanced? Frost mages are absolutely 100% balanced.

made it 50 seconds before my urge to throttle the dude that was talking grew too great.

Wow you see people questing near you? edit: W T F is censored? seriously?

Nah the middle tree, I forget the name right now is straight up mage.

Not always. Basically think of the leveling zones as a series of tubes. There are deliberate areas where the tubes intersect, such as the castle in Alderaan. At those spots, it's hard to avoid world pvp. In the areas where the tubes do not intersect, you do have to go out of your way to find Sith but you have to go out of your way to find anything because the game clearly wants you to progress down a certain path.
