No, most of the old games were like that. In Lineage you had to hit 20 to be able to chat to mention one.
The reason they hate TOr is either because people got the idea that Bioware would make a PvP focused game or because it really is a single player game turned into a multiplayer one which they didn´t expect it to be. Not to mention the SWG vets which hate it for not being SWG 2...
There are many reason why someone could hate or love TOR but that is a rather weird one.
I'm not afraid to tell trolls what they [need] to hear, even if that means for me to have an forced absence afterwards.
P2P LOGIC = If it's P2P it means longevity, overall better game, and THE BEST SUPPORT EVER!!!!!(Which has been rinsed and repeated about a thousand times)
Common Sense Logic = P2P logic is no better than F2P Logic.
Why cause every city in the game is dead because for some reason Bioware thought it was a good idea to take everyone out of the world and put them in a Phantasy Star Online like generic station instead?

I think this pretty much sums it up. Regardless, anyone who thinks these forums are a barometer of reality are on crack. The same people say the same things over and over again giving the illusion it represents something meaningful.
Linearality Lack of imagination (wow in space) EA Themeparkyness, most themepark mmo ever general problem with "big" games, have formulaic simple game and hide the cracks by spending a big wedge of cash on "production values"
Heh , a few factors weighs in for why people hate SWTOR ;
1- EA is involved , and we all know how all their games end up being in the long run.
2- When someone talks to me about Star Wars , it's all about the epic space battles and laser shows in space , not somekind of WoW wannabe sprite MMO where a Storm trooper can own a Jedi where in the movie Luke Skywalker can own a whole regiment of storm troopers blind folded.
So yeah , when I see SWTOR , it brings nothing special to my eyes , just another typical fantasy MMO with no depth.
It's a shame though , it could of been mind blowing , but no , instead they took the easy route which is the WoW route.
The only way people hate a game is if they have no life. Disliking is one thing. Normal people with normal lives just move on
This, with a but.
Some people mix hate with criticism and some aren't too good in criticizing.
I think one the reasons why people write reviews, post opinions and good bye threads (with or without warnings) are red berries. You know, other people will eat the berries if one eats them and survives.
Other reason is the watchdog. The companies shouldn't be allowed to publish and sell turd after turd and market them to profitable. People need to act as watchdogs and write independent views over products.
Third is the malicious intent (to irritate fans), but those aren't too hard to spot and take down.
1. and 2. are the things normal people do and then move on.
3. will continue like broken record and for some reason those who it's aimed towards never seem to learn from previous attempts.
I don't hate the game. I haven't even played it. But, I'm a little bit older than the players on these boards and I watched the advertising carefully. They never showed the game, only talking heads from EA and Bioware talking about the game.
What I do hate is that the people making the game only had profit as a motivation and hid the game from the players until it was released because they knew they had a stinker on their hands. To hate an inanimate object would be irrational; to despise the cash-grab and latent disdain for the players - that's a whole 'nother ball of wax.

Why would you need too? Early on the game is blood simple easy. Credits are not a problem at all.
EUREKA!
PM before you report at least or you could just block.

Why even call it Star Wars?
The question OP should ask is..why people hate MMOS on mmorpg.com?
Why not? I hear it's really nice there this time of year. Saruman has some nice weed.
