On the fence as well. Haven't been able to play it as in depth as I normally would play a mmo, so I think that is kind of shielding me from seeing all of the bugs and issues others complain about. I have to agree that it missing some of the simple things that pretty much all mmos have in common is hard to over look but being back in a star wars universe I guess counts for something.
I really hope this game can live up to it's potential, but I guess will just have to wait and see.
