If you want to drink the koolaid and thank them for releasing common modern MMO features late, go ahead. It's that kind of garbage that will ensure this game is never wildly popular. I wanted to love it, but it was a pile of buggy crap. I can deal with bugs most of the time, but then to have it be completely lacking common sense features was too much.
GTN is AWFUL, the UI is bad and not customizable, the story wasn't as great as everyone plays it out to be, it's just better than most MMOs, but poor in comparison to some of Bioware's own single player games. The voice acting was overused and your character spouts the same lines over and over again after a certain level. The wheel didn't even match what you were saying in many cases. Even IF the story was great, who cares? There's no staying power in a leveling story, it's over at 50. If you level alts and stay on your faction, you get 4 stories, then it repeats because you're playing the same class with a different talent tree.
Race selection is terrible. Hooray for different colored skin humans. Yellow humans, green humans, red humans, human humans and humans with horns! Very original. Such a massive selection of races in the star wars universe, and that's what we get.
The ability delay is deplorable and has been known about since long ago in beta. PvP is terrible. Huttball is PvE in the worst kind of way (lol I knocked you into fire and stunned you bro, I'm skilled). Voidstar is a door zergfest. Oh and don't forget high res textures that were there in beta, advertised, then taken out in release. Because supposedly our computers can't handle it. Forget the fact that my computer has handled far more sophisticated games than games with their mediocre graphics.
The world isn't explorable. You're encouraged to follow a lighted path, literally, through most of the game. If you try to venture away you encounter walls, mountains and exhaustion zones. Oh except of course the exploring they WANT you to do (lighted path datacrons).
I see so many people who love this game just because they wanted to from the beginning. Sad.
