I just wanna play old school Maple Story again if I have to grind this much

I've been playing this on and off for many years and I have a couple of opinions which largely stayed the same throughout all this time.

1. Is it the best mmo?
No. The graphics suck, even half a decade ago. Class story ranges from awesome to meh. Voice acting is pretty good on some classes. I hate the camera. The game looks dated as hell. Somehow set items are not grouped together but alphabetically, and those sets are unevenly named too. Something that can easily be fixed but who cares right? Random lag spikes? Deal with it. PVP balance? Bug and glitches to keep you happy. Not to mention the cheesy one-liners and stupid story at times.

2. Do you have to sub?
Yes and No. You don't need it if all you do is story. But personally, the fun part of SWTOR is not the story, if you want you can finish it in a month and say goodbye to the game. The fun for me is the sillyness of PVP. My favorite MMORPG is FFXIV and God does the PVP suck so bad. I stopped subbing to FFXIV for a couple months and instead I sub to SWTOR. Why? PVP and creating new characters with lewd names.

3. Should you play it?
YES

Well, got to play the campaign and so far so good. Not gonna talk much about gameplay/graphic/etc. Its a shooter. If graphic matters, Counter Strike would be dead. Controls are agreeable so far. Havent tried the multiplayer yet but that should be fine. Anyways, love the game so far. The titanfall-esque feel is great since I loved titanfall.

Lets talk gameplay. The earlier missions are smooth(most of the time). Now as I reached the Singapore mission, the stutter is extreme on the outdoors. Indoors is fine. Probably spec issues? Not too sure. Its reaaaaally annoying to play with stutter. But I'm pretty sure if I lower the settings, it would be fine.

I'm always pushing my rig (extra or high on settings) so if my old processor can do it, why can't yours? If you have a crappy graphic card and cant play it, then its entirely your issue. Get a console if you dont wanna upgrade every few years. Those with excellent spec but cant play, stop whining and wait for the patch.
