I agree, All the other articles (from non-fanboy sources even) have said that it does not feel grindish. Of course there are going to be some quests that will be a grind, but what MMO does not have them...

And you sould like a troll that has said nothing in your post but to point out that your a troll...

At least if your going to comment and personally attack someone you know nothing about, have the balls to not post as an anonymous coward...

I played WoW solid for the past 6+ years (since Beta), Granted I did not buy the new expansion, but they may have changed things on the last 5 levels for leveling, but there is no way your telling me that If I went in and bought a copy and leveled a Wargen from level 1 that it would be 90% grindfest till level cap. I have an 80 of every class, with precata max levels in every crafting professions, and gear well into the Icecrown levels on all of them.

Fully Voiced comment: Yes I should have limited it to MMO. No other MMO in History is fully voiced.. Fallout(series)and DR2 are solo games.

EQ2 and LotRO, yes story lines, however, they are short and scattered through your questing. WoW even has class quests. However for TORO we are not talking about a tutorial, your entire storyline is different for each class, from begining to end. Yes there are shared quests, as there are planet quests, etc, but the story you get is different that the one a different class may have. though the quest end result may be shared.

Example, I'm on a class quest and talking to an NPC, I do all the interaction, the others get nothing. but if they are partied with they can help me torwards my goal, and if they also have something to do with the same I'll be helping them even if not on the same actuall quest.

I've been watching this game develop since the announce, and I'm looking forward to it. As far as this article author's opinion, thanks, but I'll make my own opinion. As for as the grind of "Running around killing a set number of 'Flesh Raiders' in a relatively quiet village doesn't seem particularly epic, but that's the route BioWare Austin seems to be taking with the opening areas for the Jedi" I'm sorry, the 20 other people that had access to the game did not percieve the questing in the same way. and for that matter, WoW and every other MMO is nothing but a grind fest from minute one, so your point is?

Bioware (and no I'm not a "fanboy") has been doing nothing but inovate with SWTORO. There to date has been no game or MMO that has gone the route of Fully voiced. There has been no MMO to date that has fully different storylines for each of it's character classes. Yes there will like EVERY OTHER MMO be a grind on some quests, but at least in TORO there is story behind the grind if this author bothered to read, Oops I mean Listen to the quest giver rather than escapeing through the audio...

WFT, I might as well just cancel TV :(

Seems like the networks need to get off their arse and change away from the "neilsen ratings" because they apparently SUCK. Clearly all the Grandmothers that are their source base watch nothning but Dancing with Idiots and Crap Scene Ingestion...

If they are allowed to patent that, I want to patent Breathing. I'll make Millions in Stupid lawsuits...

They are either a wholy owned subsidiary of Micro$oft...
They want to be a wholy owned subsidiary of Micro$oft...
They are owned by a a wholy owned subsidiary of Micro$oft...
Or lastly they want to be owned a wholy owned subsidiary of Micro$oft...

Basically I consider the whole thing a bunch of FUD...

I figure I'm already at 4TB of drive space (2TB used currently). based in the fact my HD was 120MB 10 years ago, I figure 1PB or more is where I'll be sitting...
