Heres how i can explain it, SWToR and WoW are like starcraft 1 and 2, the only reason people think swtor (starcraft 1) is harder is because the game just doesnt work well, it has clear flaws which make little things like combat difficult e.g. auto attack being a seperate move this means to wait to interrupt a heal you CANT be autoattacking as it will put a GCD on your inturrupt. WoW on the other hand (starcraft 2) has these flaws ironed out meaning that gameplay is A LOT smoother and somethink it is a lot easier because they know what to do.

TL;DR not harder just worse game mechanics making it seem harder
Except that metaphor is flawed for a number of reasons which aren't really relevant.
The autoattack mechanic is better, I think, I imagine it would be difficult to use a lightsaber and cast a spell at the same time. And to an element of gameplay, it means you actually might have to manage what abilities you use once in a while.

Secondly, positioning and cognition are actually important in SWTOR, compared to WoW where most of the time you just sit and do a rotation, with an occasional interrupt when they're casting a heal.
