Well, here is where we’re having a disconnect moment. SWToR was designed as a narrative tight story within an MMO frame-work; on the other hand, WoW wasn’t intended to be, and never really has been, a strictly narrative-driven story.
We could compare different MMORPGs all night, it ultimately doesn’t change that WoW isn’t designed the way other MMORPGs might be, it’s designed for itself.
I say the best thing anyone could do in this situation is keep making their voices heard, and let Blizzard know that they want more story-driven choices in the future. Tell them that you want these kinds of things, they might listen! So, keep up the great collaborations!
