Why is there SWG hate? Sure it had its flaws, but it was a damn good MMO compared to most out there. Pre-Space Combat bullshit, I'd say it was my second favorite MMO.

I loved SWG by default.. i had to, i loved EQ and I loved Starwars so how could I not love SWG?! So this is my story, I have every right to hate SWG.
It all started, well the disgust for SWG started I should say with my first shootout with other players. I was so excited! I was like, I'm from Rallos Zek PVP im going to show these guys how to pvp in an MMO. My first instinct was to watch the person fire, then duck under cover and dodge the blasts. I timed it perfectly and BAM got hit.. I was like what the fuck? So I tried strafing around a corner while this guy was firing at me, the laser bolts turned and passed right through the wall BAM hitting me. Basically I decided then and there that this game was retarded, but I kept believing and realy tried to give it a go.
Next big disappointment involved Jabbas Palace. I worked HARD on the quest line to allow you permission to enter the center of his domain, and hang out with sweet bounty hunters and the like! I couldnt wait to maybe meet boba fet!
Once I got in, it was empty. It took me like 4 days to do all the faction and questing to be allowed in, and it was fucking empty.. it was worse than decoding a 'drink your ovaltine' advertisment, it was like decoding a secret message that said, "... I was so pissed that they didnt even have 1 fucking NPC dancer that I could hang out with to get my fatigue back to 0.. nothing!! they had nothing. Jaba was a sad lonley slug with no pals.. sigh.
I thought, well hey lets explore the world! Ill just find something interesting on one of the planet maps, a blemish or somethign, anything that looks like it may be a dungion or anything. Ill run to it and explore!
I found this dark spot on some planet and ran there, as I got closer I could see it was a volcano or something... I climbed the moutain ready to smote something uppon its ruin! A cave! I saw a cave! I peeked in, deep inside I could see an IG-88 droid! This is it! I thought, finally a real dungeon like Lower guk or something! I cant wait to get the loot and show my friends!
But when I walked in the robots didnt even react to me.. So I tried to attack them, they just stood there.. No code, no AI, no pathing.. no nothing.. they just stood there and let me kill them and poofed when they died...
I was disgruntled.. ONE LAST ATTEMPT, I told myself. Ill look something up on the internet and find it!
On Yavin 4 I see a listing for a point of interest, The Death Star Turret. Oh that sounds awesome THE death star turret omg the disht hat shoots planets! Thats gota be cool! So using the location system I ran to view the majestic wonders of the Starwars Galaxy world.. along the way I even atracted a couple random strangers to join!
Well we made it, right at the loc. But nothing.. we circled the area, all of us trying to find SOMETHIng that was like a deathstar turret... I hit like f5 or something (or whatever it was that would change your camera view) and my camera jumped above me, pointing down.. there it was.. I was standing literately right on the deathstar turret.. a piece of crappy Geo no bigger than myself, a shitty little peace of crap gun.. once again, NOTHING...
well, on that same website I thought, ONE MORE CHANCE.. The Yavin 4 base! Surely that is going to be awesome! SURELY it will have SOMETHING.. I make my way, after another 40 minuet run (through NOTHING I might add) I made it, I walked in... what did I see? NOTHING!!!!
A big empty room.. oh wait, there is something, a man! Way down in the center of it stood one, single, little man dressed in the uniform of a deathstar guard. I hailed him.. Nothing...
Tl;dr NOTHING.. that game was a bunch of nothing slaped together with ductape... with one of the greatest franchises to ever be franchised.
That game blew
