It's not gaming the system, it's simply someone saying I don't want loot and passing it so someone else.

You do realise you used 'BAD METAPHOR' yourself? Might want to take a pain killer your headache must be huge.

Tell me, what's going to happen on the 20th when the doors are thrown open? Typically companies use EGA to test stability by letting everyone hit the game hard, that way if it goes teets up they can gather info on what went wrong and remedy it. By doing so they hopefully resolve any congestion. What Bioware is doing is testing the patience of the people who pay the wages, and it would seem that the patience is wearing thin. First impressions are extremely important in an MMO, bad press spreads much faster than good. Pre beta I was eager to play this, in beta I enjoyed it but had reservations, right now considering everything that Bioware are doing wrong I'm on the fence as to whether to buy the game. I really want to play the game, but I'm not willing to put up with poor decisions, u-turns on promises, and dreadful customer service, not to mention the severe lack of information being given out by Bioware. They wanted to create a frenzy of people wanting in, spreading the eager word of the glory that is/will be SWTOR. At the moment there are way more people spreading the hate and bile that is SWTOR gaming experience.

Just wanted to add my thanks for a sterling piece of work. This will most assuredly make my crafting endeavours far more fun.
