Agreed. SWtoR is a good game; I liked it. But as one of the commenters said, years of WoW + Rift just left me (and a lot of people, I think) burnt out on that kind of game play. I think the WoW-styled MMO has been done to death. Nobody will displace WoW at this point. Any new MMOs need to offer a new, distinctive gameplay style. SWtoR kinda tried that with the immersive story-driven leveling experience, but as everyone is now finding out, they didn't carry that through in the end-game. Tacking on WoW-style raids won't work. They had a good idea for the game, and they either didn't follow through, or they got pressured into cloning WoW halfway through. Sad indeed.

I think MoP will be a great expansion. I don't know if I'll personally play it much, but for those people still into the WoW-style MMO experience, it'll bring a lot of exciting additions to keep its lead over every other MMO. I won't be surprised to see SWtoR's activity drop off a cliff when it's released.

My future is with D3.
