The story lines are better then any other mmo, the cut scene voice acting is great for the amount of voice acting there is. Plus bioware is actually trying to fix the problems as quickly as possible. It was adopted by a bigger company who forced a early release to hit before the holidays, and they werent ready for it. They will admit it but you cant judge a game on its release. WoW was shit when it first came out, look what it grew too at its peak. Guild wars 2 will be shit at release as well, but if the development team sticks with it and they fix the problems it will get better.
Everyone tries to pull the WoW argument and I'm not really sure why.
The budget was 6x was WoW was, 8 years ago.
You literally listed nothing innovative, you said what every other person says.
"It has a good story and voice acting"
There has been plenty of games with a story, and with voice acting. (they didnt have to spend 200 million to do it either..)
Is that really enough to hold up the rest of the weight in this diaper everyone is calling an mmo?..
I'll even give it to you, the voice acting is good. That doesn't mean the dialogue is good. The quality of the sound is good. The fact the sound exists is good, but the contents? They are pretty flat. Maybe if they didn't go into overkill with them so you actually want to stick around and listen when one is good...
The story? Oh haha you flirted with me and you dont want me to kill a bunch of innocent people, lets bang and I won't kill them. (bioware thinks sex is a good replacement for currency I guess? I'm not really sure what the hell they're thinking to be honest)
Maybe its just the Sith Warrior story, but what I ran into was simply boring, stiff, and dull
at best. Sure as hell not good enough to convince me to level another character while I wait on basic game functions to start working.

kids educating people on vocal hatred. go take a gander at the actual SWToR forums. A LOT of people cancelling subs and being vocal.
Games terrible.
Have fun playing this crap for months n months with nothing to do but play each class for individual story
Its just a vocal minority, thats why there is literally hundreds of posts per day on the subject, during me typing this theres probably been 3 more i quits. I did some quick math yesterday and if the average poster in that forum posts 20 times, and even 50% of them are negative, you've got about 440 grand at risk per month at risk. Don't worry though, they don't matter.
