I think you should reevaluate your priorities...

I didn't care for the entire companion mechanic but if I had to choose a favorite it would be Blizz.

I don't even play SWTOR anymore and I disagree with the OP. I hate F2P games and will not play them. LOTRO didn't go F2P until they were somewhere south of 200k subs. SWTOR isn't in that kind of trouble yet.

My dislike of the game started when I leveled my first character to 50 and experienced end game. He was geared within 2 weeks with all content cleared. I then leveled alts and participated in low-level pvp to keep interested, which was great fun. I stopped playing just a few days before patch 1.2 was released and have logged in only twice since then for a combined total of 20 minutes of playtime. I have many issues with this game and the general design was just not what I expected or desired. The game mechanics that BW chose to implement were just not appealing to me. I have no issue with others that like/enjoy it, but it's not for me.

Semantics aside you clearly understand the spirit of my post. I stand by my assessment at the top of page 5. BW failed to deliver on quite a few things they have said they would. I have nothing against people who still like this game, my issue is with BW and doesn't require you to agree with me. Your perception is obviously different of the state of the game than mine.

^this.

When BW fails to deliver promised content of 1.3 they may change their minds. I have zero confidence in BW after experiencing this game.

Yes. I'll be going to the Phoenix Comicon.

Yep, an all too common issue my friend. I think this game is in more trouble than they let on. My server population has dropped from about 250 at fleet during peak times to about 30 to 50 at peak times. They keep on quoting subscription numbers but I would be very interested to see just how many of those "subscribers" are actually logging in to the game on a regular basis. THAT is the important statistic imo.

I"ve been on these forums for 2 years before the OP signed up. I have traditionally been a huge supporter of SWTOR (past tense) and campaigned hard to get my friends to play. All but 2 friends have cancelled their subs, and out of those 2 they play for a combined 10 to 20 hours a week which consist of operations and that's about it. I played SWTOR up until 2 months ago and just cancelled my sub this week. I generally agree with the OP in that people that read/post on the forums are the players that truly are passionate about the game, as I was. I still post on the forums but I am no longer a supporter of this game. BW has continuously made and broken promises to the players. There are persistent bugs that have existed since beta. They aren't minor bugs either, they are end-game content bugs that cause wipes, wasted time and wasted in-game money. Bugs like that are a serious issue for players like myself that have very limited play time availability. The game has been live for over 5 months now and Ilum remains a disaster in which I was very disappointed. Patch 1.2 didn't cause the kind of game saving response they would have liked and rightfully so, there was nothing released that would keep anyone interested for longer than 2 weeks. The 100% VO is tremendously overrated and actually limits content due to the cost and time required to develop. I could list more but this is already long enough. If the OP and others posting in this thread still like the game then good for you, glad it's everything you want it to be. It's not my cup of tea.

Allow me to elaborate. What I would've liked to see was a more balanced approach to VO. Have the class quests 100% VO and all other quests text based. That would have freed up some resources to apply to other, more important content.

I submit that 100% voice over killed this game before it was ever released. It was supposed to be innovative and remarkable. It ended up being a huge waste of time and money, time and money that was taken away from further development that really matters to the MMO player.

I agree, if it was implemented 2 months ago. Now the server population is so low it will hardly matter.

Liked (past tense) -Initially liked the class story line. -Low level pvp pre 1.2 -Can't think of a 3rd thing Dislike -100% VO, a balanced approach is better imo. -Ilum, huge disappointment. -crafting -companions, all useless except for one of them you use all the time. -major bugs/issues not being fixed -many other things that I really don't feel like listing.

I disagree. Their LFG tool will fail miserably if it's not cross-server. How can it work effectively when there are 6 people at fleet who are actually looking for a group and none of them are a healer? The benefit of cross-server LFG is the increased player pool to draw from. With player activity dropping off to next to nothing I think you'll find this will fail as proposed.
