Point taken. We could only wish this game were as good as Skyrim. Maybe if they copied TES instead of WoW, we'd be having an entirely different discussion.

Here is my two cents: 1. F2P. Not many new players are going to be willing to pay a subscription at this point anyways. 2. Implement Server Transfers without any loss to the player 3. LFG tool or at least make it possible solo flashpoints and Heroics so that we can all see the rest of the story. 4. Change UI to something that resembles STAR WARS rather than WoW. Have class-specific UI graphics. 5. Greatly reduce the cost of crafting, upgrading, and repairing gear. Increase random drops for crafting schematics of rare items which cannot be bought from vendors (*ahem crystals) Add a tool that allows the players to design their own weapons and armor's color and ornamentation as an integral part of crafting. 6. Stop nerfing certain classes until they are useless 7. Allow ongoing character appearance customization and more customization options. Right now there is only one male face that I actually like. 8. Eliminate headgear clipping errors for hair and face tendrils in the case of Sith Purebloods 9. Make the graphics less cartoonish in general 10. Fix the engine to decrease loading times

EA inflates their subscription numbers by automatically adding free play time, effectively reactivating dormant accounts. I honestly don't know how many people are playing, but it may be lower than you think. P.S. Canceled my subscription today

Honestly, this was pretty much inevitable. No MMO is going to replace WoW. Instead of playing to their own strengths and making KOTOR III, a game that everyone wanted EA/Bioware tried to turn KOTOR III into a soulless "WoW killer" that many KOTOR fans did not even want! Of course it was not going to work!

They could declare the events of SWTOR "non-cannon" or say it was one of many possibilities revealed through the force, it being "always in motion" and all Seriously, I wish they would. What kind of sequal picks up 300 years after the time of the last installment?

1. I'm leaving because I wanted some semblance of KOTOR III and didn't get it Bioware's strength has been the story driven single player RPG. But what do they do instead? They try to be Blizzard Entertainment and make a Wow clone. I'm not going to lie, I got some enjoyment from the game but only because I was playing it as if it were a single player RPG---at least until I come a cross a Flashpoint or Heroic and have to wait for 2+ hours just to find 3 more people to help me advance the game. And then I have to deal with the people. I had someone throw a tantrum because I won a roll for some dropped equipment fair and square. That was pretty much the last straw. I want to play MY game, not inadvertently ruin someone else's. What else did I feel like stressing? oh yes---At no point during any of this nonsense did I feel like I was playing a KOTOR game! 2. Arbitrary Credit Sinks (hate them hate them hate them) 3. Cartoon-like graphics style (This I noticed as far back as the initial announcement and it raised some serious red flags even then. Is this really the best the studio of Mass Effect could do?) 4. No LFG tool worthy of the name (If we can't find groups we can't play. No play means no fun and eventually, no subscription.) 5. Space Combat (Fun at first, but got boring fast. I played the X-wing v. TIE Fighter and X-Wing Alliance as a kid and they were better.) This last note goes out to Bioware or EA or whatever you're called now: I'm one of those "casual" gamers EA speaks so dismissively of. (Another name for us is "customers" btw) Forget the soulless, faddish MMO format. You've made just about all the money you can with SWTOR. Now if you want more money, just give us KOTOR III already! :mad:

I'm getting really tired of this "entitled" nonsense. Of course we're entitled. In every other form of business transaction, the customer is "entitled" to the product they were promised. Why should video games be any different? At least with SWTOR we all had a pretty good idea what we were in for. We even got a 30 day trial period and a semi-public Beta. That being said, SWTOR was not KOTOR III, but perhaps there is some way the latter might still be made, but the events of SWTOR would have to be retroactively declared Non-cannon. Its a mess, I know but it is a small price to pay for creating the game many of us wanted to start with. The MMO has run its course. The only way to squeeze more money from this IP is to just make KOTOR III already.
