SWG = Star Wars (Jedi) Grind
WoW = World of Work
WoW feels like a DAoC rehash to me. I know people who really loved Dark Age, so I'm sure some will really like it.

I must admit I have yet to play JTL, didn't want beta to take away from my jedi grinding, however I spoke my vetern SWG guildmates and they report that it's more
of the same. They said the first leveling part seems kool but then what? More of the same. They also state that it's even buggier then on the ground, and the devs will
be going live towards the end of the month.
I am sadened by this new, however I will test it for myself and then make my
judgement.
Word of warning devs, if this is the same crap over and over again grind and grind
and more grinding, I will bid you farewell and take as many members of my guild to
WOW. As I've heard nothing but great things from my co-workers on WOW beta.
Don't you get it? People hate grinding. Please say this isn't going to be more
of the same crap. If it is, I suggest you hurry up on the combat revamp and the
GCW push, otherwise your not going to lose just me and the members of my guild but
your going to lose many more, with so many games coming out soon.

I've played alot of MMORPGs and you know what? You grind XP in all of them so I have no clue what your talking about. You want to master a skill, get the highest level, or be promoted to godhood in any game, you need XP in order to get XP you need to work for it if you consider that to be a grind so be it, you'll find a grind in EVERY game you play.
As for losing folks as new games come out, that will happen no matter what game. After WoW comes out, the next game will steal customers away too, it doesn't matter how good the game, some folks will hate it and leave. I suggest you look at all the games that have come out, and see how balanced, stable they were within the first year and stop this troll complaining, you'd be surprised how bad some have been in the first year.

In WoW they go up to level 60 or 80 on their charachters and they cant chose proffesions then drop it and they cant go lots of dif proffs like on this where someone would be cm and rifleman and stuff on wow you get 1 crafting proffesions and 1 fighting proffesion and they only have about 8 fighting 1s and they arnt like proffesions compared to swg we have like 28 or something, id love to see people coming back after leaving from wow and saying howcrap it was after them saying they leave swg because itscrap and wow will rule. everyone that plays warcraft says that swg sucks and i remember 1 time on the forums that there was a petition going around about people wanting to have houses and people saying it will be to crowded just like swg there will be houses everywhere you go thats not true but theres lots of houses and it doesnt bother me being houses on planets it gives it more of a civilization look to it instead of having nothing at all

Thanks to everyone who replied (even those who flamed me).
The only thing I wish SWG would fix is for instance you can't make the best food
as a chef until your master, hense why everyone grinds to be master (not to drop it
as one person said). Noone is gonna buy crappy food, well they might. But anyways
I was trying to say more along the lines like Sig said just didn't know how to get
my point across (as usual)
I've actually tried JTL now, and admit it looks kool thus far in my first night.
We'll see how the second night goes. (Definate joystickish)
As far as everyone blasting the L33t K1dd13s it's in every game including this one.
and by the way my first game was D2...I guess I'm one of those people now. lol* Roxor baby Roxor.

My last thought: I do not play this game for star wars. I am too young to remember any of the original movies, and I have never cared about any of the "sticking with continuum" that many fans obsess about. So, when I hear that players only play it for the SW, I get angered. Whenever I hear that the players wish to waste precious developer time to "fix" a very fun portion of the game because they pull out a 3-sentence quote from one of the novels that states it would not be possible, I am furios.
I can only think of one of those at the moment, and thats Tarkins discussion with Vader. Something along the lines of "you are the last of their order, their flame has gone out of the universe."
And its from Ep 4
