Obviously they expanded the servers so they could fit alot more in and all the players are spread out so it seems like the game is dying. And it's hard to get groups because everyone is just so busy having fun doing all the other things there is to do in game. We are probably sitting on five million subs right now. Just hard to tell. (this is what fanboys think btw)

Maybe Razor is paying Bioware to keep macros out of their game..... /tinfoil hat

Great idea! This game was simply not anti social enough. Let's slap more restrictions on what friends should be allowed to do together in game. Great post OP, would read again!

You keep spouting this rules nonsense and fail to realize the ENTIRE point of the complaints is to change the rule. Everyone here knows what the rule is.

Solution #1. Don't use it. Continue to find groups locally on your server. Solution #2. Don't use it. Only run things with your guild and people on your friends list. Solution #3. Don't use it. Join an RP server and demand other community minded LFD tool haters join same server and spam your chat all day long. Solution #4. Don't use it. But no, the best course of action is obviously deny the players something that you KNOW most would use because you feel they have to talk to you to run a group. Selfish people doing selfish things will surely cause this community to grow and strengthen.

Really good point, had not thought about it that way. This no more breaks the lore then the 400 dark council members running around everywhere.

You anti-macro, anti-arena, anti-LFG people are the reason this game is dying and doomed. Grats, you finally got a game you like, too bad nobody else likes it.

bragging rights maybe? "Haha, I can blow a million creds on this useless bracelet, so I am obviously obnoxiously rich!!" I've seen people blow truckloads of money on things about as significant in real life, why not in SWTOR?

Hello fellow Texan! about your post, I think the dev's are afraid of this place. Whatever they say is going to be ridiculed by one camp or another. Just the same though, they should get over it, suck it up and tell us what is going on. Cowardice is no excuse for doing your job.

I miss linux. Have not used it in years. Wish it was more mainstream and supported, best community on the internet imo. btw, worst community would probably be any mmo forums (esp SWTOR).

I didn't see anything in the guild summit that would address this. Did I miss it or was it just not there?

Still not good enough. What if I am 75% good with 25% evil in there, so at level 50 I can make rank 2 or 3 light side. I don't get any alignment gar for my level. To get the neutral you still have to walk a fine line and don't really get to choose what you want to choose at every option. No different then going pure light or pure dark imo. Just get rid of alignment requirements on gear altogether. I would be fine with getting rid of the entire alignment system altogether if it were not for the dark side appearance changes. I can see how some people would find that cool.

Although acceptable, this is still somewhat bothersome. Alot of extra work. A better solution would of been to have an ingame damage meter with an option to hide your stats so nobody could see them.

I don't see how you made that connection. I assume you just assumed it. So we are both assuming stuff now.

Star Wars means different things to different people. For example, I thought a star wars mmo had to have awesome space combat with 3d flight and pvp. But some think a rail shooter is more star warsy because of the cinematics introduced.

To be fair, the hardcore raiders and pvpers (along with the RP'ers) will probably stay alot longer then all those types I listed above. If they had some of the features they requested. But then you missed the point, the object is to appeal to more playstyles, not less.

I agree, I don't even use it. Again, my opinion on the crystal itself, not on the OP's point of view.

Love this line of thought. So you deny people what that would use and like because you personally want to talk to them. Selfish much?

Some people want this feature, some people want that feature and some people want no features. All the arguing always going on about features (when you can get past the insults and hateful namecalling) kinda leaves me wondering. Who does Bioware listen to, and who should they listen to? I'll start with the easiest class of player you can ignore. The deniers. They don't like a particular optional feature (macros, LFD, arena, mods or whatever) so they want you to deny this popular feature to everyone. But what you wind up getting is less people interested in your purist game. And lets try to be honest here, you lose more subs denying all these various people then you would lose by adding these things. Listening to these guys is what gets you classified as a niche game, fine if that was what you were shooting for, but I don't think that is what your investors were aiming for when they funded this project. The levelers. These are the guys that tell everyone they are bored because they rushed through the leveling process ( lol? ) and it's their own fault. These are the guys that say they hated waiting for the game to start at endgame and think the journey there is more important. These are the guys that will not stick to any mmo for any length of time. They are not going to stick here either. You can safely discard their opinions. The blind fanboy. These are the worst of the lot. Even if they know there is something that could be improved, they would never dare mention it out loud. These are the guys that tell people to leave if they have a complaint. These are the guys you will NEVER get the truth out of and you can safely discard anything they say, since it will all just be praise of how awesome you are to begin with. The WoW clone haters. These guys are probably new to mmo's or something and got bored of WoW and now want something different. Don't ignore them offhand, sometimes they may have a point on a feature or two. But generally, they are just mad at a feature that swtor shares in common with WoW and use the term clone to insult rather then explain why a particular feature is good or bad. So be careful with these guys. Once you have eliminated the main types of players that will harm your game, start reading what people are asking for and figure out what is possible and what is not. Thank you for your time and best of luck to you.

That is one comfy looking chair. But I understand the restrictions, your armor might rip the fabric on that chair, then it would look like my computer chair. Ripped and duct taped together because it is just too damn comfy to replace.

Honestly, this is dumb but not a huge issue for me. Just another pointless restriction in a game with way too many already. I think the bigger crime is my Sith Warrior never getting to see corusant...ever.

Having played the Death Knight extensively I can tell you whoever used the macro you listed here was very bad and got killed alot by most classes. Esp as a frost spec death knight, bad bad bad player.

Thank you for that, but it means so little to me being I never played a bounty hunter =( Any bounty hunters out there see missing abilities? On an assassin I use waaay more abilities than that during pvp.

I am really starting to think macro haters are just bad at the game. Or bad at some past game and blamed macros on their failure.
