    Just as long as these major updates and PVP upgrades are FOC and not micro-transactions

    I've unsubbed now and gone back to WoW.

    Why? Well the SW:TOR levelling experience is unrivalled. Quite simply an awesome story told from many different angles, that you can enjoy with your friends.

    Once you hit the level cap though..it get's so boring..it just doesn't do anything for me at that point.

    I will probably come back from time to time to finish levelling some alts, and see if they have provided high level players something interesting to do..but for now I am back achievement hunting in Azeroth.

    It's not just me either - all of the people I know who play both MMOs are starting to move away from TOR after hitting the level cap ;/

    Re: News - SWTOR surpasses WoWs early success, claims EA

    ^^ i can see your points tbh, although i havent reached the level cap yet, i do see a major lack of end game content such as large raid instances and things, one thing that WoW has that TOR lacks is the achivement side of things, no matter how pointless some of the achivement crap actually is it keeps players busy and some of it is quite fun ...

    imho opinion if it wasnt for wow's achivement system a hell of a lot more people would have left wow by now because that too would have become static.

    Definitely - I am currently going back and doing all the old TBC raid content that I missed (I didn't play the TBC end game at all) - I would do it anyway but having the achievement system in there is a nice incentive to keep on going.

    Same goes for my professions - just fishing left now to get to 525..achiv for me and a guild one too then.

    Sure it's pointless (but then isn't any MMO really!) but its lots of fun, which is the point TOR just isn't, at least not at the moment.
