Just as a matter of interest, what role are you trying to cover? Your quickbars are all over the place. I can't tell if you are a melee dps, healer, or off-healer.

Jimmy, of those 25 MMO's has any of them gone F2P? If so, then you know how F2P models work, and you'll be shocked at SWTOR's F2P- it's in a league of its own and you won't like it for very long.

SWTOR was a single player centric game, the mass complaint is that it's not worth a sub fee after the first 1-2 months and that's why EA said the most complained feedback is the sub and they took it the wrong way, if you're enjoying the game, you'd be subbed anyways.

The problem with this is:

- you have to sub to redeem the "awarded" cartel coins that you earned from the amount of monthly subs you paid.
- pay cartel coins to: hide helmet slot, add 2-4 more toolbar rows, access guild bank, access your bank, equip purple gear.
- pay cartel coins to enter operations (raid)
- buy armor/weapons that has the same skins as the ones you see on the GTN but with different colors and little graphics effects

... and so on

And my operative?

That's from my pyro merc, ctrl+5 is always interrupt on all my toons but merc/trooper didn't have an interrupt before 1.4 and holo cubes are supposed to be in the Fkeys but they disappear on each login. Point out which abilities are useless in the bottom 2 rows so I can fit all the reactive abilities that are binded to my mouse.

I have 5 level 50's, all of them had all 4 rows filled. 2 rows obviously with abilities, 1 row of buffs, vehicle, fleet pass, and a couple quick abilities (like alternative heal), and last row with mouse binds for shield, force run or similar, things I can react quickly with and consumables and stances (with certain classes).

At 50, you can't play the game with just 2 bars.

Nope this is the error message you get:

"You have exceeded the maxiumum character limit.   To create a new charcter you must delete 15 characters"

The sad part is these jokers at EA cannot even get F2P right.

^ that guy gets it, you basically have to subscribe anyways to get the benefits of a previous subscriber anyways.

When City of Heroes and STO went F2P, I don't remember them telling me "please subscribe so we can give you your preferred status perks".

So far no one in my guild is the least bit interested in going back to SWTOR, the F2P stuff has put off many people. We got a full guild bank (3-4 tabs?) and you either have to pay 600 CC or sub to access it, not very helpful for our guild. Our guild leader for SWTOR is the biggest Star Wars fan I know and he is so put off by SWTOR now, he cancelled his sub over a month ago because no one in the guild was on anymore, so he has 3K+ CC waiting for him and he can't even access our guild bank nor do anything useful in the game unless he resubs again to get the 3K+ CC.

So... they want me to sub so I can redeem this?

HA.

for some reason, when i see the words mobile throne, i get a 'flying toilet' image in my mind..  could be because im in the UK and 'being on the throne' usually means doing a number 2....

Have a warm lager on me, mate!

Some of the prices in that list are a bit steep, I'll probably dump it all on quickbar unlocks and be done with it, if I guess right I'll have 1350 cartel coins.

That's if I care enough to log in.

I don't like this, I've played a handful of MMO's with a gear treadmill and I'm through with that and GW2 is where I can just play and have fun without dumping hours per night into the game.

Someone on the official GW2 forums in the thread discussing ascended gear said that players who want a gear progress has already quit the game leaving a concetration of players who don't, when Arenanet adds a gear progression- you can guess what will happen.

After years of playing MMO games, I'm done with gear progression based games, I'm not going to sit for 6 hours to do raids so I can get a chance in looting a neato chestpiece.

GW2 fits my playing needs now.

SOE disabled 3rd person in PS2 because in PS1 people stood around corners in 3rd person watching around the corner and ambushing you. Certain people like TyzaL, XFactor and many others abused this (they've been at the top of the leaderboards for years).

The pvp as a whole is still a travesty and likely in worse shape now than when the game was new. All of the gear I earned has quickly become kinda meh for warzones. As the game has no real world pvp (ilum pvp is turned off) I have zero urge to grind for gear. Why would I grind gear for subpar play, subpary warzones... When GW2 has everyone in SPVP setup on nice even footing, all the gear you need to enjoy yourself.. No fees, no grind, just skill.

Thank god I didn't do any crafting, SWTOR's crafting is pretty bad anyways.

So basically you want to look awesome and have availability to high rank gear without putting in even a tenth of the effort everyone else did to get the rank and gear they have?

You can be very competitive in 50 PvP as a new player, even just wearing the blue set. Maybe you're just not a very good PvPer? Did you ever consider that?

If I were you, I would either spend time practicing every day to improve, or stick with PvE.

The carrot on the stick grind for pvp gear got old for me quick last time I played.

Originally posted by superniceguy Yeah, all of them and then some, but MAIN reason would be End Game - not enough to keep you playing once maxed. SWG did not have space to begin with, but its open worlds / sandbox style, many customisable professions and crafting systems etc kept me busy until JTL came

---

For me, the main reason is that it didnt have a good engine for large scale anything.
