@Vknid I’ve been playing this game since it launched off and on for the past decade. I’ve done all 8 origin storylines. I have all the crafts maxed. I have 24 characters, 5-6 of them raid ready between both factions (or they usually are), the rest used for PvP. I’ve been a raid leader, and with the exception of the last three raids since I was guildless and my current guild is technically inactive, successfully completing all those Operations on Hard or Nightmare mode, both 8 man and 16 man runs. I’ve spent too many hours and too many credits decorating strongholds and guildships.
To me, SWTOR has many of the benchmark standards of both gameplay and story design that I always hold up against any new MMO I play, and with the exception of some of FF14’s elements, nothing has met those standards for me, yet.
