1. server only PVP.
This is a great idea in theory, creating real pvp relationships with both your allies and enemies on your server.
I didn't mind waiting for PVP in vanilla, not one bit. since I knew the people i came up against and I was just looking forward to it. with the EU wide change it changes to much in a negative way (losing community). I really don't like it, since Vanilla I really havent done much pvp in BG's.
3. A wow-like pigeonholing of progression content.
This is my biggest fear really, that we will be forced to run the same raid every week, for months on end, then everything becomes obscelete when the new content is released.
You are forgetting that bioware is making this MMORPG more RPG based than other RPG's, you can always continue to improve your own char solo. Or so they say anyway. and thus it won't always be the same.
4. Lack of challenging 4 man content.
To keep players interested we will need to have things to do outside of raidtimes. From what I hear we will have only 4-5 flashpoints at release. If these arent sufficiently challenging
my friend, it's been confirmed that the number of Flashpoints will be 10+ >>>> torwars.com/2011/09/29/50-flashpoints-at-launch-not-quite/ <<<< (can't post links yet) I have no idea who you've heard it from but it's wrong :P
