Galbatorrix Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I want a new content patch.... Every DAY. I want Bioware to send me in game mail thanking me for playing their horrible game at least once per hour and I also want a hot chick sent to my cabin upon request. Otherwise, my 50 cents a day is completely wasted! I COULD HAVE BOUGHT A PACK OF GUM BIOWARE! NOW MY BREATH DOESN'T SMELL MINTY FRESH AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!

alement Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) I so I sold my ERTS position Not sure which position you sold then. EA's ticker has always been EA. Edited May 24, 2012 by alement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LohKey Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) I should be able to play my level 50 in WZ and or FP anytime during the day. Currently I can't play my level 50 at all. Is that game experience worth paying for? Yesterday I posted a thread saying Lets make a deal BioWare. You make is so I can actually play my level 50 I'll stay off your forums, They removed the thread. Yup, the mods are out of control on here, hope they are getting the axe too and they will bring some who are more responsible with how they handle the player base on the forums. If BW doesn't like how paying customers talk about their product on their forums they shouldn't have done such a bad job. It's their own fault and they are getting what they deserve. As a shareholder the Devs were irresponsible with my money. As a player I was lied to and a satisfactory product was not delivered. I do hope they bring someone on who can turn this mess they made around. Edited May 24, 2012 by LohKey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but this post is completely inaccurate. Are you really suggestion that Bioware tries to hide negativity on THIS board? Have you ever actually ready any of the on going threads that have been on the first page forever? Most of the threads are completely negative. All the mods do is lock the redundant ones so that we don't have 20 different versions of the exact same topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jederix Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 The game is a muck if you cant see that, well lets just say your not seeing things clearly. Despite what you might think, your opinion is not a fact anymore than his is. And OP, you pay $15 a month for access to Bioware servers. That's it.

EA's ticker has not always been EA btw they musta switched symbols to stabilize the price when it fell below $20.00 a share.. --------------------------- c/p A Ditches 'ERTS' Stock Ticker Posted December 16, 2011 by James Brightman EA, for the longest time, has been identified on Nasdaq under the stock ticker ERTS. That's finally changing, however, come December 20, when the publisher will go by the recognizable 'EA' symbol on Nasdaq instead. EA's had a pretty good 2011, with its stock up 50% during the calendar year. Digital continues to grow for the company, and The Sims Social has enabled EA to make a dent in Zynga's social empire. Zynga just launched its massive IPO, but EA's looking like it could be a solid investment. from: http://www.industrygamers.com/news/ea-ditches-erts-stock-ticker/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leggomy Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I know about that, and knew it was coming so I sold my ERTS position way before the release of SWTOR. Most people who trade stocks of companies in the video game industry do tend to play the games.. kind of how you know whether your investing in garbage.. which EA has become. They used to believe in making games was akin to art.. now they just want $$$$$$ Most people who buy EA stock are not armchair investors who buy and sell on a whim. The stock market is (even if etrade tries to trick you into thinking it isnt) a long term investment. Most stock that is purchased is not purchased by an individual anyways. The minor people like yourself who may own 100 shares is nothing compared to companies who own 100s of 1000s of shares. Games come and go they do buy and sell on whims.

DiabloDoom Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 They don't care about endgame because most players aren't all kitted out with 146 ratings. Hell most casuals are probably still trying to get their char to lvl 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fallenjedi Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 While we all go down with the ship here, I would like to ask what peeps here think their $15.00 should get them in an MMO (with regard to service/design etc). 1 major update per fiscal quarter Weekly bug fixes Special Events a few times a year (like the Rakghoul event) server uptime > 95% Help Ticket Response time less than 24hrs If SWTOR can meet or exceed those expectations, then I'll pay my sub for as long as I continue to have fun in the game.

beefyandbeef Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Sorry, during wrath of the lich king most of my tickets were answered via e-mail. I hardly ever saw anyone on my guild actually talk to a GM while online including myself. In vanilla wow I talked to actual game GMs. And as far as EQ. The server I was on didn't have as many live events. BUT, I was a guide for the Veeshan server and we tried our hardest to get tickets answered and try to run at least 1 live event a week. I talked to live customer service like 30 seconds after i submitted a ticket. Then worked it out via email and they fixed it. Problem solved. Most of the people hear don't understand patience. If you don't like the game how it is now then follow these directions: 1. Unsub 2. Quick spamming the forums on how terrible you think the game is and comparing to MMO's that have been out for a while. 3. Wait for a whil till thy had more stuff. PROBLEM SOLVED AGAIN!

lorelthesecond Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) They didn't make a game for entertainment purposes so that players can have fun? Then maybe, just maybe they are in the wrong business? Because that's exactly what you're supposed to do with making video games, ensure your players have fun. If they aren't, your customers aren't entitled, you're not doing your damn job right. And saying that we should just give then money hand over fist because they made a sub par product and give us the Privelage of playing it, Is being entitled as a company. You are beholden to your consumers and fans. The Video game Industry is literally the only industry that can get away with calling it's life's blood entitled. and is a symptom of the entitlement of corporations all over the place acting like we owe them our money just because they're a corporation. Look at the state of this game and tell me I'm wrong, I Dare you My point was videogame company's make games to make money and the more money they make the better. They are a business just like any other in the real world. When developers are making a game do they set out to make a crap game? I am sure most dont as they love games and want to make the best one they can. Also crap games dont sell (most of the time) so it isnt smart to make one thats crap even if all you care about is the money. Also when it comes down to fun and swtor Bioware did the job for me I find this game fun in fact the only problems I have with it is it runs like crap and all the bugs and yes they do need to fix that asap.

corthala Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 WOW, There's been huge Changes to MMO and Gamer but it seems that some older players are messing things ups.
