Yes because that is the way that programming and anything having to do with servers work. You do absolutely nothing and then one day the patch magically appears and is working great. There is no development time, testing or making sure it doesn't conflict with other things. Literally the second you want a solution it is done, on the servers and people's computers are patched with no downtime!

Sorry a player worth a crap will adjust to even being gutted. Players that have to have things their way or they won't play are not worth keeping around. All they do is complain and try to bring people in to their sorrow. If the world has ended then fine leave and go play another game, the fact that you are here actively talking about SWTOR shows that you are trying to "threaten" them in to making the changes you want or you are out. That is the problem with the game already you should just leave. If you were really ready to go you would not be on these forums and would have moved on already and not posting thinly vieled cries for changes so you don't have to leave.

People who quit a game because their character was adjusted a certain way are not worth having around in the end.

Thank God, I would prefer to play this game with 1,000 people who don't demand or I quit than 2,000,000 whiny babies that get what they want.

The entire point of having MT is to maximize profit right? While it is possible to make a good MT system in theory, why would a company stop short of "pay to win" if the entire idea was there to maximize profits? Once MT is in place it is just a cost/benefit analysis of do we lose or gain more profits going "pay to win". ... WoW used to only have their MT be vanity pets and mounts etc. Now for the right price you can skip the first 80 levels, a special mount, get an entry to the Beta and a copy of Diablo III. That is not the way I want this game to go.

Just pretend it is real life and that you have to put up with a lot of BS to have a hot chick follow you around and take care of you.

Same as politics or anything else in the world. People will always go against their best interests if it means they can be against people they decided are on a different team for whatever reason.

A brief history of SWTOR ... BW/EA announce a Star Wars MMO and players everywhere began to get excited about a new game ... SWTOR is born and free beta begins ... SWTOR announces that you can get in 5 days early if you pre-order but the amount of days will be based on when you pre-order... People pre-order within hours of the deadline and start posting if I don't get my full 5 early days I am going to quit... SWTOR listens and gives everyone who pre-ordered 5 full days and an extra 2 days to those who pre-ordered early... People begin to complain that people got an extra two days and they will quit if they don't get on now ... Before the pre-order period is done the forums are littered with posts about adding more servers now or I quit ... Many new servers without queues are added and many people re-roll to low population servers ... After a couple of weeks most queues are gone ... People begin to post that their low-pop servers are low-pop and demand transfers or I quit ... People begin posting that if server transfers happen they will quit ... Low population servers say they can't find groups and a LFG tool must be put in place ... SWTOR announces a LFG tool to come in the future .... People say that if the LFG tool is put in place they will quit .... People say that if the LFG tool is cross-server they will quit ... People say that if the LFG tool is nont cross-server they will quit ... .... the saga continues ... or I will quit!

The irony is those 100 + light servers were put there because of people complaining about having to queue at launch screaming I will quit if I have to queue so extra servers were put up. Now those same people are here screaming that they will quit if server mergers don't happen now. That is exactly why devs need to ignore the community and plan according to what is needed to operate effectively.

There will always be people who think that PvP gear is to good in PvE or vice versa, the argument being that I put in X amount of effort in PvP/PvE to get my gear and the person that did the other should not be good at what I do. Another issue is, and let me start by saying PvP is what I mostly do in this game, PvP players tend to be jerks and hate on anyone and everyone yelling carebear this and carebear that. You also have the PvP players that cry that PvE servers are so easy and that PvP servers are for the real players that want a challenge, those are usually the guys you see stealthed at level 50 attacking level 15's looking to do quests. If I had to boil it all down to one solild reason it is because this is the internet and people will always complain about everything, they will always divide themselves and talk bad about the other "side" no matter what.

When I am in huttball it seems like 4/5 times when I do my grapple they don't move at all yet they seem to be able to jump accross the entire field in no time flat. It is kind of whatever every PvP game is a bit different and everyone has an advantage somewhere. I would just point out that you probably only have one class that can score 6 times in huttball themselves with 10 minutes left on the clock. I bet if you look at the stats for how many classes are able to score 4+ points in one huttball game in record time you would only find one jumping and leaping class coming to the front.

Pre-Mades Ruin PvP

Also add in that when you are doing alts you are way more likely to spacebar through the quests that you already have done.

I'm not sure that in this game it is that far off. I think people over 25 get distracted with class quests, PvP, trying to get a particular piece of gear etc. I think if you just went all out trying to get to top level as quick as possible ignoring quests that don't maximize xp per hour, PvP etc. just focusing on speed I bet 25-50 would take just slightly longer than 1-25. Of course this is based on an assumption and I have done NO MATH to back this up, I just never felt that the amount of levels I could gain per day went down on my characters as they got higher level.

Calculating this by XP does not make sense because it is not linear. Yes it takes more xp to hit 50 than it did 25 but you also get a lot more XP for everything you do in the 40's than you did earlier. This is one of the few games that I didn't feel a huge drop off in xp gained by time at any level. There were are few particular levels that were annoying because of the particular quests I was on. In other games you had a game where you could get 1-10 in half an hour but getting 49-50 could take a week, I do not think this game is even close to as extreme as the other games. I found that through my entire leveling process I could get a level or two a night without much effort even at the higher levels.

Voice Actors are what kept me playing this game. When I don't feel like PvP or doing an OPs or Flashpoint I will jump on an alt and the voice acting is what makes leveling in this game fun as opposed to something you rush through as fast as possibe to get to top level.

The complainers are almost split in even thirds. One third believes the game is to much like WoW, One third believe the game is not enough like WoW and one third just go to internet forums and complain.

Actually presently I CAN do them and I do every night. Move to a new server, find a new game whatever just go away and quit complaining.

And probably 75% of Aions subs are in Korea and of those probably 25% are bots.

I have been playing and enjoying this "unplayable" game. I guess "unplayable" is some new type of drama queen term for "not exactly what I want"?

So they specifically say that the number of subs they have is consistent with exactly what the expected and that leads you to believe they didn't expect the sub drop off?

If you think GW2 is going to bring back the root of MMOs you completely missed the root of MMOs.

People keep making the claim that free subs count as subs .. where are you getting that info from? If that is true does that mean that since WoW is free to play till 20 that all of those free trials are subs also, because if that is the case then WoWs 10 mil subs are really not very impressive. You start a free WoW account and play till 19 and never cancel since it was free and you are a subscriber for life?

I agree to miss the Star Wars lore you would have had to space bar through every quest in the game.

I'm to the point that I hope they don't change anything for at least six months, that way all of the whiners will have moved on to cursing the GW2 forums and the Tera forums and the next FOTM MMO forum and we can stay here and make this a better game.
