Yes. 9 year paying customer who will never pay EA for anything ever again, because brigading is the norm for swtor, and there are no customer service solutions. The bullies win here, and that's not acceptable. The report function is absolutely being abused, constantly, and I'm being regularly denied the full product I pay for while the bullies gloat about it. I'd love to add a caveat to "will never pay EA for anything ever again" to the effect of "unless they fix it", but they have no intention of fixing it, it's been going on for a long time. Trolls rule SWTOR, and EA is fine with it.

Absolutely experiencing what you wrote so eloquently, regularly, and the trolls win. After years of enjoying this game I'm out, and I will never pay for an EA product ever again. You win EA. This is normal.

What I've learned is that EA's reputation for horrible customer service is earned. They won't help, it's my current assumption that EA people are among the trolls who are currently driving away long-time paying customers, in bigger numbers than they probably realize, because the whole system reverts to blame the victim the moment you try to get these issues addressed, including Musco's condescending bs on other threads about this matter. I know I don't matter, I'm just a paying customer, but seriously, fix your house EA.

Pushing the problem back to people who are being abused by brigaders abusing the squelch system is not fixing the problem, EA, it's losing you long-time paying customers like me. I have been subbed for most of the last 9 years, and I will not renew my subscription until you address this issue in a meaningful way. I assume that means I will never give you money ever again, and that includes your other products. As it stands now, bullies rule your game, and it's not acceptable. None of us who are affected by it are amused. I was squelched today apparently FOR PRAISING YOUR PRODUCT. This is stupid. I'm fed up, and I know others who are just as fed up, and we're going elsewhere in the future with our dollars, because not being able to talk to each other because we beat some people in pvp is unacceptable, no matter how much you tell us otherwise. Blame the victim isn't the future.

This worked for me. Bottom line, you have to kill that tentacle, that's the whole challenge. Do that and your DPS companion will do the rest, quick. Don't do that and fight it forever. It and my companion fought to a standoff while I ate dinner and watched. It was boring.

He's helping you enjoy your time here, like he did with the other person. The other person likes people to be helpful. He helped them. You like someone to spar with and expose your enviable wit of wonderous magnitude, you got that. Boy howdy this is a wonderful thing.

I enjoy the RP that goes on, even if I don't understand half of it, and yeah, I paid my dime, I'll go at my own pace, change my mind anytime I want, and do just about anything else I feel like doing as long as it doesn't disrespect the other players. That doesn't mean trying to appease the big mouth bullies, they're everywhere and "ignore" is the best poison to administer to them. I don't care if people are RP or PVP or whatever, it's a big imaginary universe, go do your thing and let others do their thing, or squal like privileged little children and be shown the consideration that deserves.

Good ideas.

That Sentinel might have been me. I laughed at me too.

Thank you.

Thanks for the "run to the side" tip. Killed it in two tries instead of dying over and over, using a Jedi Shadow.
