Very well put, Rep. I thoroughly enjoy the premise of SWTOR, and I enjoy the game as it is now. The pros definitely outweigh the cons. I can't wait for 2 years from now. It will be amazing.
Unless the fundamentals of the game are not to your particular taste, giving up after only 2-3 months is a bit premature.
GW2 looks interesting, but I don't like the idea of buying gold (aka gems). I also don't like the PvP. I watched Mike B. play it. I dont like their version of the heroic moment, insta-kill move, regardless the cooldown.

These are the EXACT same things you said about SWTOR when we were all in BETA before. Don't get your hopes up on this one.
In game currency is purchasable, isnt it? Pretty sure it is. And you know if thats the case, to some degree, it will be a pay to win situation.
Ehhh, not me. GW2 isnt going to be for me. I particularly dont care for microtransactions
Heya Dave, you are definitely getting in at a good time. Reorganizing group 2 and 3 right now, so we will definitely be able to get you in. Feel free to hop into vent, we almost always have someone in there. Come in and listen to how we run our raids too. Did everyone from your old guild get an invite? If not, talk to one of the guild officers, I will be out of town til the 2nd week in May
Yeah, thanks go generous donations and Replicant's effort, the website is very, very nice. What content are you looking for? The new raid is 10x more difficult than KP/EV on story mode - its great!
Thanks, find out tomorrow boy/girl. Due in early Oct.
The problem is, Baz, that folks are making assumptions based purely on the nerfs written in 1.2 and not the other changes and how it plays out in the end. Not only that, but the ones complaining probably haven't even bothered with playing on the test server at all. Everyone is bellowing that operative burst DPS is lowered. No one is touting how it seems sustained damage is significantly increased if you go by the patch notes.
DPS Ops nerfs:
-12 sec Backstab up from 9 seconds
- Decrease of 10% damage on Lacerate
- Lethality down to 3...
This is HUGE:
- Lockouts have been removed from Hard Mode Flashpoints.

Starts talking about it around 4:20 into the report.
Normal mode is going to story mode - the new story mode and the new hard modes will have similar gear. Granted "similar" doesn't mean "same" in every use of the word, but I am gathering by the way it is stated here, that yes, it will be the same gear.
