I just looked at the site for TOR. Whats the point of any class other than a Jedi? I just dont get it. The Jedi seem to have "everything" while the other classes have a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Why would anyone play a "Trooper" or a "Bounty Hunter"?
because light sabers won't cut off limbs? This game has "hokey" written all over it.

Hopefully someone can explain this MMO 099 question to you, I lack the time and patience right now.

Why would anyone play any class? Why play any game? Why get up in the morning?
Why would anyone ask why anyone would play any class in any game? Are you suggesting that nobody will play Trooper? Well, they will. Many thousands of them.
Because...(drum roll)...they want to.

That is a farking terrible post Kryv.
Now I'm not following the game very closely so I don't know one way or the other if Krieg's claims are true. However, if they were he has a very good point. You NEVER want a class that can do everything, and most of it as good or better than anyone else. If you can't see why that might be, then you should probably concentrate less on snarky posts and more on what makes a mrpg work.
And if he's wrong, then your post still sucks because "they want to" is the worst excuse for not even trying to get to a modicum of balance between classes I've ever seen.
Think first, post second.

Kyrv's post is spot on, and Jedi can definitely not do everything.

BK doesn't speak for me btw. I do indeed want a class that can do everything. Carry on.

So does most everyone else. How else do you explain that druids and paladins are the most played classes in WoW?

IIRC other than when bearform went super OPed, druids have consistently been one of the least played classes. While you are correct that players do tend to want to be able to do everything, the classes they gravitate towards are the ones that can do everything all at once, ie paladins (at some points at least). Druids specialize to only one and tend to be difficult to play well even for that one (other than bears), making them unpopular with the unwashed masses.
This is probably compounded by the poor models druids had to choose from up until cataclysm. The fact you had to be either a fruity or ugly nightelf, or a cow, was probably the biggest thing that kept me from playing druid for the longest time.
Resto druid was probably my second or third favorite class/spec though once I finally did in WotLK.
Oh, and Kryv's post is still terrible. Very out of character for him, he is usually not that bad a poster. Must have ate some bad clams.

Don't forget the bird form node farming.
Consular looks more fun than Knight IMO. Hubby disagrees about both and wants to be a bounty hunter or trooper. Whichever one was the ranged tank.
