No, that was your donation to the Emperor mwahahahaha!

You know, if you get upset enough with this game and decide to quit, not saying that I would blame you but you can always play Rift. At least there they have amazing graphics, no bugs that I know of, new mounts, a VERY immersive environment where you can ACTUALLY travel and explore without running into an exhaustion zone, lots of nice guilds with OPERATIONAL guild banks that don't cost 600K, World Events, zone events, etc... etc... etc... I have an annual sub there and WoW, play EQ2 and this game so I thought I would drop that in for anyone who would be interested in checking that out. I play games to have fun that's why I have no prob playing WoW or Rift or EQ2 or even this game - when it's working lmao! But, like so many other ppl here, I too am getting a little annoyed with BW and EA's lack of foresight in regards to their player base and will prob leave, yet again, for a 3rd time and wait another few months before coming back and giving them another chance - if they're still here that is and it hasn't gone to F2P by then.

Yes, I can feel your anger and your hate - it makes you stronger. Give into your hate for EA - EA = Nickle and Dime and Nickle and Dime http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/67942420.html

Hey, don't you pick on BW - as everyone on this board knows, they can do no wrong. But rather, let me turn your attention here: EA = Nickle and Dime and Nickle and Dime http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/67942420.html

Dude, haven't you figured it out by now? BW doesn't care, as long as those subs keep rolling in and the stockholders receive their dividends, well, you know the rest...

Are you guys serious or just being sarcastic?? If so, this has got the be the greatest screw-up in the history of MMO's - WAY TO GO BW - I TAKE MY HAT OFF TO YOU!

It won't die, it'll go F2P.

Why not - that's just another form of game play. In one of my other guilds in WoW, the guild has a spare guild bank for overflow. You have some ppl in guilds that primarily craft for the entire guild so needed extra space is a given. The same may happen in this game if guilds are closely knit. PPl volunteer to craft for the guild and extra space is usually needed for mats. Not seeing what's so hard for you to understand. And banking alts are good to have. You need to store all that crap you find and one bank isn't usually enough. E.g., if you have 2K of different types of metals, cloth, etc... - where are you going to store it all?

I'm really sorry to hear that This is my 3rd time coming back thinking BW has changed their sorry asset toon and improved - well I guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks as the saying goes. I only came back cuz I love star wars and was hoping with patch/update 1.2 things would have gone for the better but I see this is sadly not the case. I read the funniest thing too that the devs wrote. They said that this update is probably one of the largest in MMO history for free. I nearly fell out of my chair at work when I read that obvious fabricated piece of crap. Maybe it was the largest for code since they're using an antiquated piece of garbage for a game engine - that perhaps is true. But as for content wise - who the hell are they trying to crap??! Do they think we're so stupid to believe that?? Look at Rift - ALL their updates are for FREE and we get fantastic stuff - including new EXPLORABLE areas to play in with a complete story line of adventures, etc... Not some small piece of instanced garbage... Honestly, do they really think their player base are mindless fools?????

You're absolutely correct. you guys familiar with 'foamy the squirrel?' use his voice here when reading my tirade on BW... for those of you who don't know who foamy is: go to this link first and hear him give his speech, then apply his voice to what I'm saying: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcwAwTPX3IQ BW says "oh buy our CE edition and then you get VIP access to special vendor and great things..." Oh yeah, what they FAIL to tell you is that they are for an insane amount of money!!! W T F BW??!! How is some new lvl 7 thinking that they can get something nice since they bought the CE, go to the VIP lounge only to find nothing is in your price range. Just makes me sick... I truly look forward to the day when this game goes F2P because as it is, the ONLY thing holding this game together is the IP and THAT'S IT. Am I pissed, yeah a little lmao - I hate liars...

35K for training - Yeah that's reasonable ROFLMMFAO!

The main point of the article is to show how EA is the worst company in this country, how they crap and lie to their customers and could care less. I personally hope they go up in a ball of flame breaking the curse they have placed on all those around them. Then maybe, BW will be able to be creative again...

lol Yes I am a horder. I can't help it. In WoW, I had a tailor and have over 10K pieces of varied types of cloth. I feel that you just never know when you'll actually need it. And now since we can do cross faction mailing, I can make a synthweaver on my sith guy make clothing and then mail it to my republic alts. I just love collecting stuff Like in Rift. I have a lvl 20 warrior but he's maxed out in artificer so I can make any of my other toons any kind of artificer stuff for any lvl. I'm sure there are a lot of other horders out there as well who understand this.

Well... have you read the threads today and all the wonderful new "surprises" all the dedicated players have been faced with??? And here you talk about cookies Personally I would use LSO's (Local Shared Objects) and have them placed on everyone's machines. I think this might be a better route but I get the feeling that the geniuses at BW would find a way to screw that up as well...

This game WILL ALWAYS want credits from you...

lol! I understood what you said but my point was that it is lunacy to expect one person to drop that amount of money for a stupid lock box to store alt's extras. But I suppose those of us who are irritated by this "stroke of genius" can QQ enough to the devs on a constant basis and get it reduced down Remember, if you want change now a days in MMO's you have to QQ hard and they listen and ppl like you will blindly follow and not question but I guarentee when we finish QQ'ing and they drop the price, you'll be one of the first to take advantage of it.

Pay no attention to the horse behind the stall...

I have only one thing to say to you about this bud: EA = Nickle and Dime and Nickle and Dime http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/67942420.html

Ok, now you're asking for too much. And this is such a complicated feat of wonder, it would tie up the devs for weeks on end just trying to do this. Shame on you for even asking...

EA = Nickle and Dime and Nickle and Dime http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/67942420.html

Yep you're absolutely right on all accounts. We need excitement in this game to give us a true feeling of immersion. Like in Rift. We should have either a giant robot or an army of rogue robots attacking dromand kaas or coroscant and you need to group with 10-20 ppl to defeat it and get great prizes. I feel no immersion in the game - it's about as dead as all the areas I go to. I had like 10-15 ppl on the planets, ugh, I mean corridors, that I was on last night. Only place I saw ppl was in the fleet. We need more fluff in the game. I want to be able to go and collect stuff and turn them in for nice gifts and cute pets. The vendors sell crap and nothing interesting. And don't give the museum artifacts answer - that's crap as well. You get pet gifts - OH BIG DEAL. I can buy those from the vendor next to him or get them from crafting.

If there are no resources with which to fill them, from where should I pull them? Crafting is crap in this game - we all know this. Crafters on my server don't put anything on the ah cuz they know it won't sell. I'm just hoping they improved things in 1.2 but as it stands, I'm still casting a no-confidence vote.... And you didn't answer my question about these so-called world drops; pets, trinkets, cool stuff that's useable and nice. I don't see any of that anywhere.

LOL! I'm not the only one who thinks this: It IS Forbes afterall... just saying... http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/67942420.html

The point is you shouldn't have to pay it. 1/2 or 1/3 is more reasonable but ok, nickle and diming - that's what EA knows best... http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/67942420.html

What fluff?? I don't see any pets, trinkets, etc... dropping in the world. If they are, can you tell me where cuz I'd like to find some. And orange gear is useless unless you have the stuff to fill in the slots - and the ah on my server is about as barren as the rails themselves That's why I like my pets - they keep me company on the cold, dead, barren worlds I visit...
