Im not playing SWTOR for any sandbox elements. Im playing it for a storyline. That which Bioware does best. Im sure many other people shall be doing the same.
Once all the shine of a new gameworld and theme wears off, Rift is nothing different than WOW and offers little to entice people away from their old MMOs. The rifts are nothing more than daily'esque quests set in random locations on the map. The biggest challenge with the dungeons is getting a group together prepared to slog through them again (no different than wow before dungeon finder).
Appart from graphic styles the only real difference I see between WOW and Rift is the PVP. And in my opinion that's why people will return to WOW over games like Rift.
Why the hell to people constantly have to point out how many subs are asian. Last I checked they were human, living on planet earth accessing the same interentet as the rest of the world.
It's a pitty we cant add a figure to what % of subs are racist scumbags.
