Not deflection, just merely a comparison. I'm simply not upset with them adding a little Christmas spirit into the game. You may be, and that's your opinion. You are entitled to it. I'm entitled to mine, and I would have really enjoyed owning a Rudolph Tauntaun. Even if it was never in any Star Wars lore (Which, by the way, I have never argued that it was). Edit: I'm also curious as to why no one has mentioned the current Winter mount, the Sleigh I (I believe it's called). I was taking a break from the game (due to low funds and a not working computer at the time) last Winter, and did not see this Christmas Light Mount. But from the way everyone is hating on Christmas, I'm surprised none of you have brought up that the Sleigh this year has a bunch of presents on the back and jingle bells...

Just because you don't have any arguments doesn't mean mine are bad. Mine are very reasonable. The jist of everything I am saying is this: it's a game, it's perfectly fine for them to do something you disagree with. Don't expect a company to cater to your every wish. They are allowed to do things as they see fit, and it's your decision whether or not you want to participate in it. If you decide to not participate, it can look two ways: either you can live with it and do your best to ignore it, or you can unsubscribe. Personally, I choose to roll with the punches of things I don't like about the game. I do this because I know that no game is ever going to be perfect, and I don't expect them to cater to my every wish. It's actually the minority that complains, they just make a big stink about it. Take some basic psychology courses or stats course and you'll understand. There are always going to be 'punches' that detract from why someone plays a game. That's kind of the definition of anything in a game that someone dislikes. You seriously need to learn to read better. I am clearly pro Rudolph Tauntaun. Also, I'd very much appreciate it if you figured out how to use grammar a bit better. I'm not asking for perfection, but at least read over what you've typed and see if it makes any sense before you post it...

I agree, I don't think anyone should QQ enough to unsub either way. I may dislike those speeders, even a great deal. But I wouldn't ever expect the devs to make an option so that I cant see them. Just like I wouldn't ask the devs to create a way to bypass a planet I don't like. There are always going to be things in a game that someone dislikes. You can't make everyone happy, EVER. It never works. Subs just need to learn to roll with the punches; take the good with the bad. Sure, those speeders are "star warsy", but they are definitely unnecessarily large. Sure the Tauntaun isn't exactly Star Wars looking. But whats the problem if I want to install a red nose covering on my Tauntaun? People put reindeer antlers, red noses, eye lashes and all kinds of crap on their cars. I dislike those things too. I think they are a disgrace to cars everywhere. At least it looks clever on a Tauntaun, as opposed to a car. Do I have an option to not see the stuff I dislike in the game? No. Does everything always have to be perfect? No. I think we can allow the devs to bring in some holiday cheer. After all, the vast majority of society does celebrate Christmas. Even most people who are not religious. In fact, people who share different religions are more accepting of Christmas than those who choose Atheism or agnosticism. Just like I fully endorse Hanukkah, even though I'm not Jewish. Refer to my above answer. Yes, they are about Star Wars. Are you telling me I'm not allowed to complain about anything in the game that is Star Wars? That I'm only allowed to complain if the devs try to introduce something outside of Star Wars? This is, after all, a fictitious galaxy in a video game, being played by masses across the world. Honestly, I highly doubt the majority of TOR players across the world disagree with introducing a little Christmas into the game. As with polls done by newspapers and journals, it's the extremists who post complaints and who raise their voices. And the fact is, at least in the case of newspapers and the like, those numbers are vastly skewed. They do not represent the true opinions of every gamer in TOR. If we wanted to know that, the devs would have to post a game-wide mandatory poll. And I'm willing to bet real life dollars that the majority of players probably don't care either way about the Rudolph Tauntaun, and that the people opposing it are really quite few in number.

Anyone who says that they were considering unsubscribing because the rudolph Tauntaun is so horrible is an idiot. If you don't like it, don't buy it. I hate those huge *** boats that some people use as mounts. I think they look absolutely retarded, and are unnecessarily huge. I'm not going to unsubscribe because I think the devs should remove them from the game. I simply won't use them. I for one was really excited about this mount, and was prepared to spend $10-20 on it. It would have been my first official Cartel Purchase using real money, aside from the coins I get from subscribing.
