Like I said, it's 4chan with a silly internet vigilante attitude.

Because /v/ has a vendetta against SWTOR.

Sample size: People playing TOR and with Xfire. Population: TOR players. You can say it's a sample.

You know that, but you say that it's measured in people? *********** facepalm. IT'S NOT MEASURED IN PEOPLE. It's measured by assigning a value to server load (Light, Standard, Heavy, Very Heavy, Full) and then plotting the values for every server on a graph. All it tells me is that a few more servers went light from standard.

bump.

Sample size and groups. That ends your math lesson for the day.

FFS. That graph doesn't measure population, it measures server load.

http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=205600 Ha...hahahahahahaha! Serves you right for grinding something that was obviously not working as intended. I hope all of you who were so mad yesterday realize that BW did roll back valor after all!

Read this.

My opinion? It's 4chan. They want to see BW fail after DA2, and this is how they're trying to do it.

I've been keeping a casual eye on the forums, and things haven't been adding up regarding the hate going on here, so I'm going to give a recap. 1) The game goes live. We start to see complaints, but nothing too major. 2) People get banned for Ilum objective trading. People claim to have been banned for going to Ilum, but they all can't produce anything but a CSR email with Ilum spelled as "Illum". 3) More ban claims. They are all rebutted by CSRs, topics are closed...Then no one lies about this ever again. 4) Getdown bug is made public. People try to falsely claim that BW is banning people who dance out of designated dance zones. This is rebuked by BW, and the statement is proven fake. The player who reports this once again disappears. 5) Texture resolution complaints come into full force. A group of 3-4 people try to claim that the game is being "streamed" to our computers by remote servers, which is rebutted by Stephen Reid. The post is closed, and they are never heard from again. 6) Ilum patch comes out. It is hugely broken, resulting in people getting 10-20 valor levels in a day. People claim that turrets are giving valor and they gained 50-100 valor levels. Some Empire players troll, openly mocking Republic players and fanning the flames. 7) This morning: A group of 3-4 individuals are making the rounds, posting the stock projection article every time it falls off the main page. Does this seem a bit too convenient to everyone else? It seems like someone is fanning the flames every time a contentious issue comes up. Furthermore, most people in the game I talk to have no idea these things even exist. I'm not crazy enough to thing that Blizz is paying people to do this, but there is definitely something funny going on here.

This has been discussed ALL morning. Use search.

I think it's a bit poorly timed, as people FREAKED when they announced it, and accused BW of trying to placate people. I think it was already planned months before that they were going to do this on the 18th, the Ilum bug had nothing to do with it.

Proud CE owner here. Bought one for my wife, and I am the proud owner of a SE, and we are both founders.

Have you gotten tired of trolling yet? You've been at it all morning.

ITT: OP gets pimp slapped by a real trader.

6 month. In it for the long haul!

Cool stuff, can't wait!

This is the worst kind of troll. If it closes in the red, trolls can say LOL WE WERE RIGHT. If it closes in the green somehow, trolls can say "LOL STOCKS DON'T MATTER, GAME'S FAILING."

Why is it too late? People play FFXIV still.

And then the game was around for a year or more with an okay population. And then the game went FTP and got a whole new playerbase.

It's up to 6000 now. IT'S A SAMPLE SIZE THE GAME IS DYING (/sarcasm)

It is my opinion that the sky is not blue. BUT OPINIONS CAN'T BE WRONG

It's low quality if the issues bother you overmuch. And they don't bother me, or the other people who are enjoying themselves, or the glowing reviews the game is getting.

All 8 of them?
