WoW was was garbage the day it was released any "Real" MMO player would tell you that. besides its not WoW's thats killing MMO's. its people like you that are doing the actual killing. you come in with your "oh i like this this and this from that mmo, and i like that, that and that from this mmo. when the actual game is built around that need you get an MMO you've played before with an altered lore and a fresh coat of paint, every MMO i had an interest in met this fate. SWTOR had potential it could have followed the badassest game of all time SWKotOR, instead it was striped of all unique elements and replaced with mechanic that could make a fish hurl, why? because thats what you wanted.

instead of ripping shit right from other games....maybe you could encourage the devs to be unique, make something fresh and new.
