I hate WoW with almost my entire being but, current story aside, I am still giving it 8 or 9 for the game it is and what it has available.
TOR, a game I was looking forward to and still am excited to play the finished product of is still only getting a 7 from me and now you. I suspect that if you weed out the fan boys after launch that 7 will be about right.
Yikes.

Hm, true. While I do enjoy Star Wars, I've never really been a 'fan boy' of it.
Some friends of mine from different online communities were really looking forward to this. The only reason I tried it at all was because of the beta invite I got. From that invite, I went from "Yeah, I've heard some things about the game." to "I'm pre-ordering now!" I am excited for it, but don't want to let that get away from me. I am giving it a 7/10 based on the two starting areas I worked through (and the one I ran through without paying any attention to story) which, to me, is pretty good.
However, this is Bioware's first mmo. I am willing to give it ~6 months live or so before really taking a look at it and putting a 'real' rating on it. However, I also like it enough to recommend to a friend of mine who doesn't like MMO's...so he'll be coming over and giving my copy a whirl.
I guess I should have said "7, with the potential to be a 9".
I admit to a bit of curiosity about your WoW rating, too. I played WoW for a long, long time, and based on that in addition to what I know of the game these days (keeping in touch with friends who still play it) I'd say that it's sitting around a 6-7 and dropping. It could just be that my standards are rising, too, though.
