A little advice...what you HATEFollow

Im considering leaving WoW due to the constant neglet from the development team to fix certain classes.
I am considering SWG for my next MMORPG and was wondering what you all hate about this game that you wish could be improved. I have plenty of reasons why i should play it, but dont want to jump-in and end up wasting the money on something i wont like in a matter of 2 weeks.

I played SWG in Beta for quite some time. I got in very early and saw it grow alot. Well that was a few years ago now, and I figure the reasons I left and didnt play in retail may or may not be around any more (I cant remember why i never picked it up in retail).

So use this as a sounding board on the things you hate so I can prepare myself or not play at all. Thanks in advance.

Like all mmorpg's, SWG has some issues. However, I played SWG in beta and for a long time after it went live to the public. I left after a while to try other such games. I also played WoW, and I left it last month to return to SWG. The reason is that WoW is fun at first...graphics are great and all, but after a while it comes down to no variety. Every person who plays any class is exactly the same. There is no way to mix skills, change professions, do different missions, switch factions, learn and drop new skills, etc. In short, SWG has great diversity, variety and depth, whereas WoW is way too repetitive with no dimension or substance at all.

I think you will enjoy SWG, but like I said all such games have their own ineherent issues with them, and it simply depends what you're looking for as to what would please or upset you about any given game.

Try it, you'll like it I'll wager.

Compared to WoW, SWG's quest system sucks. It has a journal, but it's not nearly as advanced, and there's no sharing of quests.

Honestly, I hate whiners who complain endlessly about the game, and I hate that there is an uber-weapon for each prof. Unlike WoW, there's really only one thing you're going to wield, depending on your melee prof once you master it. You can strive for better stats, but you'll always use a powerhammer if you're a Swordsman.

Being an ex-WoW player myself I came to SWG also. At first I hated what I saw. It was bascially everything that I hated about EQ; politics and money money money. There was non-stop spamming from people's macros advertising for things and just generally pissing me off. That is what I hated about the game, but after a while you can find this spam helpful in a way... sort of. I mean other then the politics of being the richest and best suited (which seems to be in every MMORPG, especially SOE's) I think that that SWG is better than WoW. Customization is great, I used to see literal copies of myself in WoW, all same gear and talents. In SWG people can really stand out and you can have yourself be different from anyone else.
