Yes it's important that in a story driven MMO that the 0.1% of the population feel superior for a couple weeks. Bioware will never wake up apparently and realize their community aren't hardcore raiders.

I hate to break it to you but even if they sold expansions for 50$ we still wouldn't get more content more more frequent content releases. The vast majority of the swtor playerbase is here for the story experience, people who wants to raid or pvp play WoW and FFXIV. People are HERE for a star wars story experience, the PVP and Raid scene is so small that they deleted ranked PVP. Despite knowing this Bioware is too busy focusing on making UI changes no one asked for and releasing 1hours worth of story within a 1 year time frame. JUST RELEASE STORY, that's all they have to do and the game will be just fine. But they aren't, and they won't because they clearly think they are something that they aren,t they are trying to be something they will never be anymore. I've also seen the new staff changes and needless to say this game is about to go woke and broke. Which it's already started down that disney path.

When was it 1300? did I miss some great datacron sale or something, it was 2000 for about 4 years or so. 1300 seems like a meme, but 2000 was a decent price. People must be paying 3200 CC to buy them though, if it's making Bioware money who cares it'll help them fund their next 30min expansion.

The ranked pvp scene is the minority in SWTOR, thinking otherwise is just being delusional. If you want to focus ranked pvp then play WoW. The vast majority of the player base in SWTOR is casual....all the "hardcore" raiders left 10 years ago. Not even 1% of the playerbase did ranked pvp in SWTOR, this change impacts barely anyone. This isn't my opinion it's a fact, if the ranked population was large enough to make any sort of an impact of upsetting the player base then Bioware wouldn't of removed it. But they did, why? cause they know maybe 10 people will be upset lol. Welcome to SWTOR, do the stories, watch some cutscenes and then when you get bored unsub and go play other MMOs like everyone else does. SWTOR is a rotating door of an MMO. You started playing in 2017, you were 6years late on the pvp hype train. It's been a meme ever since. Accept it and move on

No, Biowares solution to problems is to cover their eyes and pretend it doesn't exist, if they can't see it it isn't real. It's why nothing ever gets fixed or changes and why they add in stuff that people on the ptr in mass said were bad.

Can't afford items above 1million? is that a joke? anything of worth or note is almost 1 billion. The GTN is a disaster, the economy is tanked

The saddest part of this, is that the game is in outage by majority and bioware hasn't said a SINGLE THING, I haven't seen a single CM say anything at all. They just don't give a crap, they are like children closing their eyes pretending it's not real and hoping it goes away soon.

People complained and cried about KOTFE/KOTET, but at least both of them actually felt like an expansion. Onslaught felt like a 5$ dlc from paradox games and Legacy of the sith so far is a x.1 patch update at best

Let's see what they do? you just compared FFXIV's relaunch 10 years ago to Swtor's 8th expansion? This isn't a... "lets see what they do to salvage it" situation, swtor had that moment 11 years ago

You're not very smart if you think Bioware had nothing to do with this "expansion" being released in this state

It's hilarious, they aren't even doing damage control or trying to calm the flames they are literally sitting back and watching the flames burn it all down

Yeah they promised you stuff IN THE EXPANSION but didn't say when. They'll milk this **** for subs because they are lazy, it's like WoW except WoW atleast gives you initial content to grind and keep busy but 7.0 was just a 2hour crappy movie that made no sense. They'll release a planet every year and then in 3 years say "See we told you we'd give you 3 new planets"

Except the main selling point of swtor is the story, because prior to all this 6.0-7.0 non sense the story for the game was amazing. If another MMO is made it won't be story driven, it'll be PVP focus because pvp requires the least amount of content...you don't need to design raids or raids bosses or new loot tables and balance, the only concept they'd keep is the cartel market

LOL this patch wannabe expansion is such a joke omg lol Their only form of income is subs....and cartel market. This patch was so bad that people are unsubbing and now they broke it so you can't even use the gear you buy from the cartel market LOL they are SINKING THIS game

You should, Bioware released this patch...it's not an expansion it's a patch let's be honest. They released it and ignored ALL THE FEEDBACK. They won't suddenly start now, they will never fix your class.IF they do, big IF... it'll be in 6-8 months. DOn't give them money
