Now that I have read your reply to the other person I would say you might be the problem, what you expect is unrealistic, you want to control what people say and do, sorry not going to happen, you chose your lifestyle and that is your choice, nobody forced you to so blaming people when they offend you is on you, getting upset about everything you do not agree with is part of life, this is the current problem with social media, too many are trying to control what everyone says, free speech is a right, you do not have the right to stop people when they say something offensive, if it is against the rules then it is up to the admins in swtor to take care of it, people get offended by far too many things people say. You have the right to report or ignore them, not sure what it is you expect people to do, sorry but we have our own choice to believe the same beliefs that you do, I for one do not believe reading chat and getting upset is something you should do, getting offended is up to you, move on is my opinion. If you believe I am part of the problem then my fellow human, you are wrong in my opinion.

You right click on the name and ignore them, you will not have to see anymore chat in game from them, not minimizing this but you might want to harden yourself a bit when in gen chat because you will get people in there that troll everyone regardless of sex or race, sorry but there are no mods to monitor it, most of the time I am in there to game so I try not to pay too much attention to fleet chat as it is a bit ugly at times, just ignore the bad ones and move on. Best advice I can give, hope it helps.

Bioware did not pay the server bill again it looks like!!!!!

All i have to say is "Oh My!" Hope that all works out of you.....still saying these servers are garbage and can not handle the population load.

Huh???? Have i not been complaining about this for like a couple years now ????? Can not imagine what it will be like on the weekend, you need to fix this fast or all the new players will leave on account of bad play experience!!!!! Now it is a ddos huh>? I will be very surprised if that actually happened and believe more likely you opened up more bandwidth for your servers.

Not to bash this but how much did you get payed for this work? Did it garner a response from EA or did you sit in front of your computer monitor waiting and waiting and waiting for more bs from them? Again.....since they moved the servers from the west coast to the east coast I have had issues anytime the load gets heavy in population with either of the locations ....satele or starforge. What we get is the same ol same ol that they always say and if you give them what they ask for it goes no further, the last response said without pause that the issue was on my end and they are not responsible. This is the copied and pasted response: Hi darkwarrior_, Thanks for contacting the Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ customer service team, my name is Alan and I will take care of your request today. Unfortunately we are not able to assist you with your connection issues because they are related to your location or your ISP. We have no issues with our servers at the time and all another player are playing without any troubles. So try the steps that you received recently or contact your ISP customer service for assistance. You can check back on the details of this case, and all your other cases, in-game. Click on Request Help or press Ctrl and / to open your case history. Please do not hesitate to contact us again if you have any questions, we are more than happy to help wherever we can. Too funny and my response was laughing as it does no good to complain as they are unwilling to bother.

Again....what does that have to do with my playing a game published by EA? You can explain this any way you like but it still does not solve the issue! The issue here is EA is dodging the issue completely just like they always do when it is too difficult to figure out because it might cost them money. You explaining your perspective or opinion still is not fixing the issue so maybe send that to EA or biofail and see if they can come up with a solution Quite simply there is a large population of people that play and quit simply because of issues like these, if they do not solve them it is sad. You can spin this any way you like but me putting hours into troubleshooting the issue is ridiculous to say the least. Enjoy and have a wonderful day!

So there are multiple routes from one coast to the other and we as customers are responsible for our own machines, our cables if we buy them and then it is up to spectrum....as they are my carrier or internet service provider but beyond that it is up to EA as the publisher or whoever is responsible for carrying the account providing servers that are likely leased. You as a customer should not have to troubleshoot anything outside of your house! You are not payed to do so and they are! The simple fact of the matter is I have spent way too much time on this issue already just replying in forums, the people that own the game are the ones that are responsible to take care of the issues. I play ops and listen to complaints all the time with aussie players and west coast players complaining about the latency issues sometimes causing disconnects so we put our two cents in, either they fix it or people will just leave which is not the answer.

This!!!!!! Yes this!!!!! Me lodging a complaint with someone in washington is ludicrous as I do not have the impact that someone like maybe EA or whoever is in control of the issue has. We as customers should only have to file complaints and the owner of the game should be the one investigating the issue. Like i stated earlier .....I have done a process of elimination and spent the last 25 years as a technician installing tracking or comuter systems, troubleshooting systems on trucks and trailers, please do not point the finger at the OP. If i make a mistake then I will own up to it in a second, this has been going on now for far too long.

So do you a troll think i come on here to impress you??? I do not care what you think....if you do not contribute something positive then you are not needed in the thread. If you leave a plastic cover over your heat sink you likely should not be building computers, that is blatently stupid and being in a bit of a hurry, I also question if you could even do that being the clamps holding it down would likely not clamp. I have ran ping plotter and see the issue with packet loss in washington state that another person posted but as he said it makes no sense at all with 100 percent packet loss you could not play! Who thinks it would make sense to have issues like that and EA not address them as it is their customers that will experience issues, if you lose half your customers because of issues with a switch or hub then do you go after the customers or the source? I have played this game since it came out and have had issues on multiple machines since they moved the servers to the east coast, maybe we should have picked a different game as EA really does not seem to care. So anyone that cares drop your general location in here and we can get an idea where the issues are. Mine is southern Oregon.

I know bioware does not care and really just wants you to do the work for them but I will post this anyways just to see how many others are having issues. First and foremost I build gaming rigs and know for certain that the issue does not lie in my machine, 100+ meg cable static connection, or programs in my computer as i have done a process of elimination just to be certain, if you are going to post on this thread just to defend bioware then do not bother as it is annoying dealing with trolls in swtor chat so we do not need them on forums. Again I have no other issues with any other games, not world of tanks, not starcraft 2, and it seems no matter how many times i report it, bioware wont do anything at all. I am also guessing there are programs used to disconnect people just like there always has been that script kiddies use to mess with people but i have not looked into it just yet. If you have legit information it would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

You go with that, if it gets worse then I just quit playing, there is more important things to do for certain than do bioware or ea job for them.

I do have a gaming machine built by me like the hundred other ones i build, if i buy a game and play it online and discover issues with a bad connection which really hurts my and hundreds others game play then who is it really hurting? So should I do my own investigation to discover the problems location? I am not going to waste my time figuring out where an issue is because even when I do is there a solution? Call up so and so at a switch and tell them they have a bad switch or hub? I used wireshark for an old company I worked for to find an issue in chicago which slowed our connection bandwidth down to a crawl, only happened around five or at the busiest time in after noon and actually told them exactly where the issue was......it took them six months before the switch finally gave out before they pushed to get it replaced. The point here is that most companies are well aware of the issues and wait until they absolutely have to fix it before they do. I still blame it on cheap servers as they are trying to save money.

Not just malgus server, is on both satele and starforge also, complained about this before but nothing is done which means it is part of the larger issue called cheap servers, connection and computer are great otherwise so get it fixed guys, people want to play but if you do not fix this it will drive them away!

It is not just where you are, the whole game and forums as well, I will blame the cheap servers that ea or biocheap went with....has been bad before but now is a complete joke when you try to execute anything quickly it is hit key multiple times and wait for it to happen. Girlfriend is right behind me on an older computer with no issues whatsoever playing anarchy online so it is same ol same ol in my opinion.
