SWG suffered from two flaws: it wasn't at all what people expected, and (in typical Verant fashion) it was months behind where it needed to be at any given point.
But if you enjoyed it for what it was, and weren't on the "bleeding edge", it was an amazing game. You can absolutely play without buffs (or at least with only self-buffs), and there absolutely is meaningful gear ... but it's mostly player made, so you have to actually find player-made weapon/armor shops.
