Xxia you said it better than I could, for that thank you. Another anology would be a mouse in a maze. There are walls everywhere leading you were you might not always want to go, but really you have to in order to complete you quests and get your companion or ship etc.
I just don't see how they can change this without revamping the whole game, and we all know that isnt happening. I really expected more from a game blessed with a title that holds the words, "Star Wars" in its title. Its just been such a let down for me personally, as have Daoc, Warhammer, Star Trek online, Lotr, and Conan. Why is it that Wow is the only game that hooked me for so long, around 6yrs? Why is it no matter how much money these companies but into mmos, it just seems the only they all suck with poor fps, poor gameplay, no depth, etc, etc, and this one again make me feel like a dog on a chain.
Will there every be another mmo that I atleast can stomach to play for me than 2 weeks other than wow????? I played wow until my eyes bled and have no desire to put the needle back in my arm now.
