I dig that you can defend where you are coming from. They should hire you to do their press releases because you are more convincing.

I was expecting a picture of poo, showing off its HD graphics compared to SWTOR.
I am dissapoint.

It would make the sports more entertaining.

It's a press release, not a hard-hitting piece of journalism. Do you know what marketing is?
There is marketing, and then there is ignoring bugs and mistakes while saying that you have produced one of the most perfect things in history.

What a dumb *** thread. I mean my sub is already canceled because I've accomplished everything I want to, but people actually are happy with this game. If there's a vocal minority, it's the camp making posts like this.
Judging from the mass lockings of any disapproving topic, I am going to say the vocal minority are the ones that are 100% satisfied with their purchase.

I was just rereading the press release from Bioware, and I noticed a couple of choice quotes:
Fan reaction has been extremely positiveWe're going to work together closely with our community in the weeks, months and years ahead, continually serving our audienceStar Wars: The Old Republic stands as one of the greatest and most ambitious achievements in video game historyBioWare and LucasArts have released an unparalleled artistic achievement, always putting fans and product quality first.Anyone know where they are getting these impressions from?

I suspect it's more to do with people getting tired of everyone coming to the forums to grandstand about quitting the game. If you're going to quit, do so; don't stand there dramatically shouting "I quit!"
If you want BioWare to know why you're quitting, tell them. Don't tell us, we don't care.
If people do not care they should avoid bumping the topics.
Also, with the number of unsubs going around I really doubt they will take the time to read any of them at all. I wonder if they read anything, considering that before the game was released when I sent them a ticket this was what I got:
I am Protocol Droid M0 T0, human cyborg relations.Thank you for contacting Star Wars: The Old Republic Customer Support.
We would like to thank you for having taken the time to help us test our game!Due to the large volume of contacts we have received over the past week, we are unfortunately unable to respond to your individual contact at this time.

It is the "with me or against me" attitude.
I also once read a very convincing argument that suggested that hardcore MMORPG players uniquely take offense when someone does not like their game because it is similar to someone saying they do not approve of their lifestyle. I guess when you are dedicating the majority of your free time towards something someone else does not feel is worthwhile, it can cause angryface.

no word from the developers again....
/lowered expectations
A dev confirming that hi-res textures will be implemented would go a long way towards appeasing a lot of customers. Promising to "improve the fidelity of the game" means less to me than the promises of the last Nigerian Prince that E-Mailed me needing my help.

Best solution yet to a difficult problem in all MMOs.

Not even going to bother quoting that...but I find it funny when people try to reconcile with themselves when they post the wall of shame "why-i-quit-your-game-cause-i-think-you-suck" post.
Honestly, you have some pretty harsh criticisms for a company who has never made an MMO before. Add to that the game hasn't even been out in retail space for three months.
If you are that closed minded to allowing things to improve over time, more power to you. I would be very surprised if you hadn't posted similar threads on all of the other major MMOs out there, but yet wouldn't hesitate to come to their defense completely forgetting the fact that most of them had worse launches...
I would say it is more closed-minded to continue paying them more and more money while you wait for what you were told you would receive with your initial purchase. I am sure this person and many others, including myself, would resub if the developers were actually going to fix the myriad of problems. Right now there are too many issues being ignored while they pat themselves on the back and say "Star Wars: The Old Republic stands as one of the greatest and most ambitious achievements in video game history."
-
Bye. All of us will most probably not going to notice you anyways.
Or maybe by some miracle the devs will take notice and fix these things so those that want to fanboy it up can have a game worth the heavy praise they dump on it.

What is most astounding to me about this game is not the bugs, which are to be expected in a new MMORPG, but rather the terrible decisions made during development. How can anybody think removing graphics options and forcing the game to look terrible is a good idea? Even the ORIGINAL Everquest had better textures than this:

Valid criticisms, please stay. Haters..get out and don't let the door hit you.
Logically, it would stand to reason that the whiners, complainers, doomsayers, and trolls will all disappear after tomorrow.
But we all know that isn't going to happen. People would rather spend $15 a month and complain on a message board about a game they profess to hate and claim that it sucks, rather than doing what a rational, logical person would do, and that is: simply move on with your life.
They complain because they hope what looks like it could end up being a good game can get pulled out from behind the terrible dev decisions. It is worth a shot.

I believe he may be referencing FFXIV which released in a similarly buggy and unfinished state, though my understanding is it was even worse off. Early adopters of that game were given free access to the servers up until recently
