I really wanted this to work. I fly around Tat and look at awesome graphics and dream of open world pvp that never happened. I queue up for a warzone and wait 45 minutes because the server died and they wont consolidate or let us transfer. The warzone finally comes and in the first 30 seconds everyone drops because 3 of the players are new 50's with crap gear and now they have no chance to get better gear because everybody left them to get farmed for medals. At the end of the 30 days im done if they cant fix this. They really need to fire their entire PvP staff. They blew it.

Hey!!! BIOWARE!!! ***? I took a week off from the game. I came back expecting the great and almighty 1.2 to have its first few tragic bugs fixed. I played a few warzones and realized quickly that you blew it. First of all.. The losing team gets didly squat for warzone losses. Thats right. nadda. Its impossible to even grind through several losing warzones to hope to get better gear to compete. The fact is on my server the republic is outnumbered by the imperial population. The imperials all have full BM or WH gear and many republicans are still trying to grind to thier champ gear. Do you see the problem yet? At the first sign of trouble in any warzone.. everybody dropped. They just left the zone and let the remaining 3 players get repeatedly pummeled and farmed to the point that I really dont picture any of us giving you another 6 month subscription.. EVER! I mean come on guys! Ive been trying to be nice about your issues and praying that you can fix them but wow.. you really blew it (again). I am not a PvE player, and you have completely killed PvP in this game. I am sick to my stomach every time I see another interview with some guy saying how seriously they take PvP in this game. You have lied to us, you have taken us for fools and you have wasted millions of dollars on idiots that you should have fired months ago. This was supposed to be the big save. We are done waiting. Fix it NOW or the customers will speak and this game will either be offline or FTP faster than you can say "ILLUM".

That just means several hundred thousand of those 1.7 million bought a 6 month subscription and are not playing anymore, and wont be re-subscribing in 2 months. They need to show us a stat on how many players have logged in in the past week. I'd also like to see a stat on how many players have re-subscribed to WoW and Lotro in the past month.

I opened a thread asking the Devs what they plan on doing about dropping server populations. They closed it and refered me to this thread. Problem is that we can talk about it until we are blue in the face. I dont see a developer answer anywhere in this thread. DEVELOPERS PLEASE TELL US! What are you going to do to fix this? Is there some consolidation coming? Your coming up on 6 months now. Can anyone else see some statistics rapidly dropping at the 6 month subscription mark?

Thats the kind of PvP I came for. Sadly I dont think its ever going to happen. Although there is still a chance. I had a blast in the first few weeks after launch ganking on Tat and Voss, and getting ganked too. I ran into a BH in the Voss cantina and the fight was on... It was great. Give us this back please Bioware.

I'm here to stay for a while at least. I think alot of the issues are lag and engine related issues that seriously effect PvP. Illum is a great example. There are dozens of die hard players still patroling illum looking for 1v1's and larger scale battles. Alot of them are willing to stick around a few more months with the promises of rating systems and revamps. However an even larger number quit completely when they realized their mid level gaming machine lags so badly they cannot compete in PvP at the level they are accustomed to in other games. Its tough going from being a rated player in another game to meer cannon fodder in SWTOR when other players run circles around you while you take one step at a time at 3 fps. Fix that and maybe throw in a few of Hargraves suggestions like base bosses and we can save this game. Im a SW junkie.. but many of us remember the mass exodus of old SWG... it happened in this game in the first 2 months. Hopefully thats a good thing and we can get back most of those that left within the next few months (as long as promises are kept). I see a shortage of funds in the future if things are not fixed. We will know its all over when servers begin to consolidate and FTP is announced. I pray it doesnt happen and hope to call this game home for the next decade or so. Trolls can hack on the weaker gaming machines all they want. Simple fact is that windows requires a rating of 3.0 and recommends 4.0 to play LOTRO. It requires 5.2 and recomends 5.9 to play SWTOR. Immagine how many more people would be able to subscribe to SWTOR if they could bring those requirements down to reality.

Played LOTRO since 2007.. SWG before that.... Ultima online, Subspace, and Command and Conquer long before that.. I am familiar with many LOTRO exploits and cheats. LOTRO GM's seemed to be on the ball for rule violations in most cases. I know of several players on the Elendimir server that were perma banned for exploits involving gaming keyboards. Several more were suspended for a week or so. Many other exploits came and went and they always resulted in bans or suspensions. In all the years I have gamed I have never seen cheating as rampant as this. I left LOTRO because FTP killed PvP. Here cheaters are killing it.

after the first warning those that accidentally did it will stop doing it.... unless they are cheaters and cant win without an advantage. Devs in any game have the ability to observe a player and see if the action is intentional. Usually the 3rd or 4rth time they do it the action is obviously intentional.

Simple fact in gaming is that cheaters can break a game. And if something isn't done about them this game will break. It seems to me that every new patch Bioware puts out is exploited to death before the end of the first day. And its not just one or two people doing this. The number of exploiters and cheaters will continue to grow if something is not done about them ASAP. Maybe a lifetime ban is too harsh for a first offense, but a 24 hour or 1 week suspension isn't. With the promise of possible lifetime bans looming for repeat offenders. Nobody can tell me they enjoy loading into 3 straight warzones where their team is outnumbered 11-5. Bioware listens. Its time we started yelling about it in the masses. Lets get it fixed. The purpose of this thread is to vent to both Bioware and cheaters/exploiters that we are losing patience with broken, cheated, and exploited warzones. Hopefully something will be done sooner rather than later.

If that game is WoW then the answer is yes, I checked it out but never played it. I went from SWG to LOTRO after a very brief look at the WoW community. I was there for launch on both SWG and LOTRO. Both of those games had bugs, and SWG had a huge exploiter problem with credit dupes at start. But the ban stick was heavy, and cheaters were forced to come back with a new credit cards borrowed from their grandma and not cheat for fear of losing something they actually had to work for.

Just take all the cheaters out back and put a bullet in them, then Bioware will have more time to fix the other issues. Warzones are only broken because someone found a way to break them through constant exploit hunting. Many of us may leave if issues are not fixed. One thing I have noticed is Bioware is good at listening. They work hard trying to fix bugs for us, but they are having a ton of trouble with the cheaters, exploiters, and other such low life scum to the community.

Dear Developers, I waited years for this game. It has the potential to be everything we ever wanted it to be. But im really curious why this game has had more problems in the first few months after launch than any other MMO ive ever played.. I'm a PvP player, and I'll admit that the PvE in SWTOR is great. But the claim that I repeatedly hear about having the best PvP team is bogus. WARZONES ARE STILL BROKEN! get it. You want PvP players, and you offered Warzones as an 8 v 8 option. They were great in Beta, I loved them. Just shortly after launch they were broken. Cheaters exploited them to give their team more players. found spots to camp without being targetable, and essesially made your lives hell. Yet I see these same reported cheaters every day. Are you afraid to lose their business? When are you going to start kicking out the suspensions and bans? When are you going to stop these fools from completely destroying your game? Why is every single warzone that im in after midnight a 8 v 5 or even worse 11 v 5. Please do something to stop this, please make it a priority. Ever week when I see and update and warzones are not fixed I cringe. Your not going to be the top game unless you get your community under control. Dear Cheaters, When the dust settles and there are no more mmo games for you to play, I hope you find 1 player first person shooters entertaining again. I see you searching google for the god mode version of Duke Nukem and Doom. You were never able to complete them without god mode on, and you never will be able to. You may be laughing now with your full set of battlemaster gear and your snotty one liners, but we know who you are, and when the rest of the community gets geared up the right way you will be nothing but fodder beneath our feet. Enjoy these next few months that you cheated your way into while the rest of us get our gear the right way. They are all your going to have.
