Why play SW:TOR over WoW?

The combat is worse, the atmosphere is worse, the classes are worse, the questing is worse. The only thing this game has going for it is voice acting that most people skip over. WoW has honed its game for nearly a decade and SW:TOR was launched like it's competing with vanilla WoW. Seriously, why play this game over the king of MMOs unless you're a hardcore Star Wars fanboy like most people still playing this game are. Edited by IMAWHALEOOORAOOR

You bought the game just to post this junk on the forums?

 

Bye then, ill be enjoying the game without you.

 

I honestly had enough of all this bashing, yes you have your opinions but make completely new garbage on the forums is just a pain.

Don't compare this game to others are you get warnings from the forum moderators, apparently. I just did :D

I logged into WoW the other day, I hadn't played for about 6-8 months. WoW was amazing and it will be amazing in my memory because I choose to remember the way it was before they killed it. While I was in game (i had rolled a new toon) I ran down to Goldshire and I saw a flight path, then i learned that flight path went from Goldshire to Stormwind. IT IS A 30 SECOND TRIP TO RUN TO STORMWIND but because nobody could be bothered they just added more and more things to make it so you didn't even have to try anymore.

 

 

That is a big reason why I play SWTOR instead of wow. Oh and everything you claim is worse, that's your opinion not a fact.

I relate better to the world of star wars then the wow universe. I feel wow is some random fantasy, an offspring of tolkien. A nice one though. but still. star wars in the other is in my opinion one of the best space fantasy if not only one i know well and am interested in.

That's your opinion.

 

Personally I feel the opposite- questing is much better, boring grinding quests are bonus quests that you don't have to complete, there is a strong story driven campaign for each class and I only skip voice acting if I already heard it before (I tend to start many characters of the same class in the beginning).

 

WoW, while a fine game, have experienced it's prime. It died with the horrible community that now exists as a result of LFG and LFR. You can be an *** in that game now, since you are not likely to meet the players you insult again anyway.

 

The content in WoW is also recycled, and is basicly just a re-texturing of old models. DS was facepalm.

 

Buttom of line: Almost every signle aspect of SWTOR is, to me, better than WoW. Only thing that WoW has going for it now is the guild system and the AH:

I quit WoW because I'm tired of two things.

 

1) Blizzard behaving like a parent spoiling its children. e.g. we wants pandas!, we want race changes, we want PvE to PvP xfers.

 

2) The spoiled players who no longer use their brain and cry when something doesnt go their way

 

I decided to play SWTOR since it is an opportunity for me to get away from it. I also like the star wars lore.

Why get mad that some people want to play a different game?

 

Word. But to answer the OP the grinding, crappy, tiresome, non emersive nature of anything before endgame. The manga influenced toons. The frustrating nature of PvP (on my server I went 127 Arathi Basin matches once without an Alliance win...try that on for tiresome). And finally, pandas.
