I'm a completely new player, I started Nov 2nd. I've done every single quest, (including the dailies, the exploration, and heroics) on every single planet, and completed one class story. I'm currently on KOTFE and I am truly enjoying the content. I've played Final Fantasy and WoW. I raided for years, done mythics, pvp, all of it, and I can say I understand the frustration of a veteran player. It's why I quit Wow. It's in a terrible state right now, and I needed to be enthralled again. SWTOR did that for me, I haven't had this much fun in a long time. I subbed and even though the content is incredibly easy (aside from master mode, and operations), the story is holding it all together. This is why I don't think this is the end. Combining the classes is an incredible idea, the thought of being able to do literally all the roles on one toon is just refreshing. Going through the expansions I can see the updates to adhere to the solo players. I still need to do that operation from Oricon, and I was so, so happy they didn't lock the end of Shadow of Revan with an OP. I'm a huge KOTOR fan so that was the best for me so far. I'm sure you guys have heard this all before ,so I'll keep it simple, and say I am new, and because I haven't been through the changes of what was good or bad like a vet, I see SWTOR in a different light. The light that all devs focus on it seems, in any game. If people like me keep coming, they won't stop and now with the combination of classes, they have the potential for new classes, new stories and so much more. WoW is on the back burner or completely off the stove, and if we didn't flock to Final Fantasy, we got to flock somewhere. The devs would be a fool not to do some grand updates and changes. They want to entice the new. I hate to say it, but years on a MMO will make anyone tired, doesn't matter what MMO it is.
This is just my opinion, hope everyone has a great day and may the force be with you

I read above that people were upset about the changes with the combat styles. It's unfortunate, but the technical side of completely changing thousands of toons is no simple task, so I'm not surprised that the primary style is staying in place. I wasn't even going to change my main combat style anyway. I only have one toon, so making another for a different combat style will be fine, again adhering to new players. It sucks I know, but I can't even count on one hand how many times Blizzard changed their mind. It's no surprise, just annoying and I get that. lol As far as bugs and issues with loadouts, I don't think any MMO has had a perfect expansion launch, people can't even log into Final Fantasy right now because of the influx of players.. trial and error folks. Ok, I've said my piece. I'm not going to edit this anymore. aha.
