Bioware. The reason is that simple.

Bioware now have a history of making and breaking promises. Their silence is normally how they respond to things they don't want to answer. Is it any wonder the game population is shrinking?

Give up dude. Let go, dont give them your cash - they dont deserve a damn penny. They are nothing short of arrogant as they continue to ignore VALID concerns. Is it any wonder less people login every day?

I feel for you on PoT5. I logged in on Rep fleet and saw 43 people. I really feel for you poor souls. Stuck on a dying server in a dying game - but its classic Bioware. Ignore all the issues, pat each other on back for doing a great job, ignore the community and then wonder why no one is playing their game thinking that throwing endless XP bonus week/ends then forever will fix it. It wont.

Yup. Biowares white elephant isnt canon -

I actually saw 43 people on fleet for the republic today on PoT5. 43! Those poor souls stuck on a dead server in a dying game

I really don't see why you lot are bothering to sub to this game any more. You all knew last year that PvP had no future when the so called 'Community' Manager said 'No' to almost every question asked. With Battlefront 3 due in November, PvP will once and for all be dead and just be some casual mess worse than it is now. I feel your pain, because SWTOR PvP is fun but when you look at the line up on the stream, they all look like a bunch of idiots who have zero clue how to manage a successful MMO and as for the new designer and design director - well, its not surprising there has been a huge decline in playing population since 3.0 and their arrival. Unsub and do yourself a favour - they don't deserve ANY money. (PS mine runs out this week and I am gone!)

Its probably an announcement to announce the announcement of this announcement. Expect 1.30 trailer with 30 seconds taken by intro with an expected release date for Sept/October.

Does nothing to address the under laying issue of low server populations brought on by lack of end game and outdated F2P mechanics.

Mids is broken right now, thanks to Biowares inability to listen to early feedback. However, they claim to be fixing bolster when 3.2 arrives, leaving it broken for 6 months (how nice of them). FYI - Bolster has NEVER worked in all its shapes and/or forms, so don't hold your breath and expect another trademark Bioware **** up.

Ghisallo is a fanboy. To him, problems do not exist. It really proves just how bad Bioware are at Community Management when they can't even be bothered to post about SWTOR and continue to ignore the ongoing latency problems. Cantina Tours are pointless as it tends to be the same faces over and over asking the same generic questions. Bioware forget that the EU is part of their game also. It doesn't take much to set up a 'feedback thread' on the forums prior to holding a developer answer session. You just need to work smarter, which is why we are bang out of luck. Look at customer support and how out dated those sticky threads are, almost as out of date as the ones on this forum. Between the 3 of them, they have zero strategy of how to manage the community and without a thriving community, MMOs can't survive, which probably is another reason to explain the HUGE drop in numbers

Theres just not enough players to do that. Look at all the pvp servers especially, most of them are 'light' population and this is despite x2 xp. They were told mids bolster was broken on the PTS and that Ship components added to PvP stats but as normal, they ignore any actual feedback and pushed it out live anyway. Fast forward 5 months later and Bolster is being LOLFixed with the next update but don't hold your breath. With the changes to resolve being pointless, it will no doubt create new problems. FYI, Bolster has never worked correctly since it was introduced LOLNaked bolster being the funniest

Bioware don't pay any attention to the PTS and/or its forum. Which explains why all the bugs that are highlighted never get fixed until 4-6 months after going live. Running an MMO is a 24 hour operation, Bioware are yet to figure that out.

Laughable now. I hope everyone is feeling valued as a paying customer. Just over 7 days in to this and now its getting to the next level with disconnects

No point arguing with a fan boy Tux. He has ignored my post, pouring cold water on his outdated facts. Funny that.
