I'm commenting on the article. The article is about healing in SW:TOR. My comment is about how I feel about healing in SW:TOR. That's why I commented. Jeez. Didn't mean to stir up such a nest of hostility, but I suppose I'll defend my position anyway because I like to argue.

@ Double9s: I would prefer a game that felt like the Star Wars movies. That's all. I don't want a trinity in SW:TOR because there's no trinity in the movies - I'd feel differently if it were a new IP - in fact, I love the trinity; I feel that it rewards grouping and encourages team work, which is really good in MMOs. In the movies, though, everybody does "DPS" to the best of their ability as a team: kill them before they kill you. I realize there seems to be not a lot of excitement in that using the current MMO model, but I suppose what I'm really looking for is a Star Wars game that breaks from the mold of current MMOs to provide a unique, deep role playing experience without the time sink of current MMORPGs.

I absolutely agree with Balkar's first statement, but my opinion of the game will remain low. Not that they have to please me or that they have any obligation to do so, as I have no obligation to buy the game. If they please you folks that's absolutely fine: you'll buy their game. I was merely stating that I don't have any interest. And I do agree that the lore allows for healing. No argument there. But characters who's sole focus is healing? I don't believe it would make an authentic SW experience. Simply my opinion.

I'm on this site because I like MMOs. If I were only interested in a single game or a couple games I'd go on those forums. However, Massively.com is a website featuring a wide variety of MMOs, not a specialist page dedicated to SW:TOR. Therefore I'm well within my rights to comment on any piece I like with the stipulation that my comment relates to the piece. Which it fully does.

@ Keen: How am I overreacting, precisely? A statement of opinion which presumes that my current position has not shifted either for or against the game does not exactly warrant your claim that I have overreacted.

@ Pedro: I cannot point you to ANY MMO without healing. Nevertheless, what I really said was healERS, and there is a difference. Actually, though, just because all games up to this point have healers doesn't mean that everybody needs to play by those rules. I'd rather they didn't, actually.
