No, they're a testimony that trying to compete with WoW by just copying it is a dumb idea. The reason why people didn't stick with SWTOR is because most of them came from WoW, and there was no reason to play as a level 10 Jedi when they have a level 90 Rogue already. It's not a matter of they payment, it's a matter of if the game is worth it. And reskinning the same game is not.
