People that say this game is too easy

14 is a 'My First MMO' game.

Its part of the dumbed down generation of MMO's, where everything you have to do is marked with giant circles or dots (or dots in circles) on your minimap, you have multicolored "Talk to this guy over here" for each different type of quest the game offers, and quests are significantly dumbed down. It has a significant GCD and animation locking that prevents you from being able to mechanically have a high APM for a majority of the game, and its not requiring you to make difficult choices in that slower gcd. You arent having to figure out what to Crowd Control, because lolthatsnotathing. You arent planning what mobs to burn down first, you're spinning in circles ae'ing everything all the time forever, unless theres only 1 or maybe 2 things there. You arent going through checkdowns of having to debuff this thing or root this thing out of melee range, or kite this thing around while the rest of the group does something else, because nothing requires that, just keep spinning in circles.


Sure, you can speedrun Hammer Station with full dps in SWtoR when you outgear the content but you need the box progression to a higher tier so you can get better augments finally because what even is that loot system anyway, but thats the same as running most content in 14. You can easily faceroll content in 14 that you outgear and outlevel, its not a swtor thing by any means. I can derp my way through old EQ content solo, but that doesnt mean current era content cant double or quad for 70k an autoattack requiring significant healing spikes.

If you arent specifically seeking out the hard content in 14, there are very few spots where you're going to be challenged. Thats not the same in older-gen MMO's, where part of getting to the endgame was overcoming the different challenges.
