SWG is a very broken game. I'm not going to even mention Jedi as Mem and Ivan have summed it up nicely.

Combat is broken so bad its a joke. There is no class balance at all and 2-3 class's rule the roost in both pve and pvp. Combat medics,riflemen and swordsmen are gods and every other combat profession is so far behind its a joke. SOE will not get around to fixing any of the issues about combat until a year and 4 months after the game was launched!

After about 1 month, 2 months if your slow and take your time, you will have gone through all the content in the game and be left logging in to a pretty chat system. The quests in SWG are SO BAD I'm still shocked that no Dev actually spoke up and said "maybe we need to put more effort into this". Lack of quests and no loot drops from 99% of the mobs in the game and this means there is no reason to even hunt when your high level as its just wear and tear on you guns and armor and other weapons. And the 1% of the mobs (nightsisters) that do drop loot are camped to hell and back by everyone who's been playing for more than 2 weeks.

JTL is a little better than SWG but not by much. If you are expecting xwing vs tie fighter your gonna be very sad. Its not a 100% twitch based game like SOE said as ship, parts and skills make up 90% of combat with human skill being the rest.

What pisses me off most about SWG is it could have being a fantastic game but the DEV team ****ed up so badly in so many different ways it can never be more than a fraction of the game a Star Wars MMORPG deserves to be.
