Whom are you arguing with? I personally think wow is killing itself and its age is not helping. More a natural death than being "killed" Although if TOR continues to grow in popularity and stays strong they sure won't help wow.

Ok, fine, it's swords and magic IN SPAAAAACE, but still.
Any advice on a class? I played a druid in WoW, gravitated towards "tanking" - but largely I liked the versatility of the class. Any class in TOR that maps generally to a druid?

Although you start out as 1 of 4 classes on each side, the Advance class you choose around level 10 makes it sort of like having 8 classes per side...
Right now you cannot switch advance classes. I personally hope it stays this way... each Advance class has 3 skill trees (which can be reset) - its exactly how wow does it now. No single Advance Class can tank, dps and heal. If they do allow Advance Class switching down the road then yes there are lots of druid/paladin like classes, well 50% - Consular/Inquisitor and Trooper/Bounty Hunter. So if you wanted to hedge your bet you'd pick one of those.
