I finished getting my first character to level 20 in SWTOR, but I've since quickly made my decision: I can't play this game.

Bouncing between MMO's has done things to my experience - and one of those is interest. GW2 (my home game) gives you things to be interested in and lets your interest run wild. You can (pretty much) do anything you want when you reach level 80 and even at level 1 you have oodles of things to do at no further expense.

SWTOR, on the other hand, backhands me with its Subscriber glove more times than I'd enjoy. I'm no rich man (yet), so subscriptions in MMO's are one of my deal killers. Your game requires a subscription? There goes 75% of my interest in your game. Your game locks out basic gameplay functions and features behind your subscription? There goes another 20% of my interest.

I really want to love SWTOR again because it's Bioware! The story is like a velvety chocolate cake that's just dripping with opportunity, but its aftertaste is sour and keeps growing on me after each bite.
