Star-knitting and star-dancing? That's nice, I take it the author is referring to the non-combat aspects of SWG, which, whether he appreciates them or not, brought a lot of innovation to a genre that has been sorely lacking it since, oh, forever.

The kill 'em all crowd that infests the MMO space like rats on a sinking ship have driven that kind of innovation out of these games, and that's unfortunate, almost as unfortunate as reading yet another article that says absolutely nothing about this new game.

Do us all a favor, Massively, and IGN, and all you other game journalists who think anything that spills out of an executive's mouth is worthy of an article: enough already.

When there are some details to report, report them. So far, in the deluge of 'coverage' this site has devoted to SW: TOR, the endearing refrain has been 'we aren't commenting on that yet.'

Amateurs and fanboys, the lot of you.

Sorry, but if you thought a Star Wars game revolving around tradeskills and cantina dancing was going to do anything but crash and burn you're delusional. People play those games to be the equivalent of Luke Skywalker the Jedi or Han Solo the Bounty Hunter, not Uncle Owen the Moisture Farmer.
